While checking out some old Animation Mentor videos online, I saw a link to my AM short "Forever Young" on YouTube and to my surprise it has more than one hundred freaking thousand views - which is amazing!!



Thanks to everybody who watched it!

Noisy neighbours and trying the "Insanely Great"

Living about 4 minutes from work is awesome, but the downside is that in the middle of the city there's a lot of people living above, below and next to - and it's amazing how inconsiderable and noisy some people can be.

Maybe I have a low tolerance for noise, or rather some peoples behavior, but no matter what, it was about to turn into a problem that required a solution.

The solution was this:


These noise canceling headphones, Bose Quiet Comfort, are fantastic. Putting them on is like stepping into another dimension. I also use them at work and it makes a big difference. They're quite expensive, but it's well worth the money in my opinion.

I rarely buy stuff I feel I really don't need, but I gave in and finally purchased my first Apple product ever - iPod Touch.


It's a pretty cool toy :)

To get some practical use out of it (other than playing music and videos), I got some nifty apps like FilMiC Pro, a video camera app that shoots in 24fps (or whatever frame rate I want), VideoPix, a videoplayer that can play video back at any framerate - as well as let me frame by frame thru videos and PhotoSync that let me transfer files to and from my tablet via Wi-Fi.

If anybody knows about other cool and useful apps for animators, please let me know :)

I gotta admit I'm hooked - iMac next!

"Baby" - Work In Progress

I initially started this a couple of months ago and intended it for the October 11 Second Club contest, but realized pretty soon - that's not gonna happen :) - so I've just worked on it now and then when I had some spare time.

I thought it would be fun to try to do some acting stuff with a lying character and also play around with the Morpheus rig, which I have done before, but never actually animated a test with him.

Blocking WIP:

YouAnimator!

What a great idea!



I signed up and got a good review of my reel. Not too detailed, but good enough to get an idea of what I should focus on and what to change to make my reel better. It was totally worth the 40 bucks they charge for it.

If this site grows into what they intend it to be, which I do hope, it's gonna be an awesome job hunting tool for animators.

Here's my YouAnimator Businesscard and check out the rest of the site at www.youanimator.com
