Beautiful day to be animating.

This is what it's like walking to the front entrance of Pixar on a day like today... I wish my office was outside.
I'll be posting the progress I've made with my Remy test either tonight or tomorrow, I've at least got the blocking underway!

"Trying to animate" and "animating" are very different things

I went in to work today (Saturday) to try animating my test with Remy... sometimes I wonder if I'm actually cut out for this.

Bon apetite!

Remy Thumbs

I've been talking to a lot of animators here lately, all of whom have been really supportive of my attempts to keep doing my own tests during off-hours, and some even willing to help me out with critique to further my work. Needless to say it has been incredible. I'm putting off the Helen test for something a little more challenging- animating a short acting test with Remy, the main rat character from our upcoming feature Ratatouille. Here's my first pass at some thumbs. I intend to log the progress of this shot from blocking to polish so please keep visiting!
