New Reel and Stuff

Well hi there!  It has been quite some time since my last post, so I thought I'd make one to let you guys know what's been happening!

So since Animation Mentor ended, I updated my demo reel!  Here it is...

I finally added music to my demo reel too!  I really love the bass lines in most of Cake's songs, so I decided to go ahead and use one of their songs, without the words, in the background of my reel.  Hopefully it's not too too low and you guys can still hear it, I didn't want it to be too distracting.  You might notice that I also cut the ball throwing one short by taking the front end of the animation off too.  I did this because I felt like the beginning had some issues that I didn't have time to fix before submitting it to the Reel FX Apprenticeship.

Which brings me to my next thing that's been happening!  So about a month ago, Reel FX University picked my animation reel to be critiqued by an animator at Reel FX.  Exciting right!  Well I still have yet to receive the critique, but when I do I will definitely let you guys know what they said, if you don't already see it through it being on my Facebook page.  I also decided to apply for the Reel FX apprenticeship!  I just submitted everything for my application this past Friday, and now I just have to impatiently wait until sometime in November to hear back from them.  I really really hope I get it though, that'd be just awesome!

I've also been thinking about partaking in the Riot contest that has started as well.  Might be fun to try out!

Well that's all I've got for now guys!  I'm going to try to be more productive since I've been kind of slacking lately.  I am super excited for my trip to CTNx in a month though!  Can't wait!  Have a great day/week/month guys!
