and to further my animation education!
Here is my first entry in the 11 Second Club contest. This is a great way for any animator to add new content to their demo reels, just have fun or brush up on those animating skills. The monthly contest supplies a soundbite which you then have to produce a character animation to. It's super fun and if you win, you get an Animation Mentor Ecritique from a seasoned animator who'll probably have worked for a major studio.

MY DEMO REEL
Short Film, AM Work, Web Animations and Dabblings!
Well here is my first real demo reel since graduating AM. I'm still working on polishing the rest of my short and I've done one real freelance job (The Cloth Pull) which is very short and sweet but it kinda makes me feel like a real animator and I muust say that is one great feeling.

OFF TOPIC BUT WORTH A LOOK...
Frank Darabont's REJECTED Indy 4 script!!!
Okay I didn't like the new Indiana Jones movie one bit and although this script by Green Mile writer, Darabont, still contains some silly bits, but is far superior to what was finally put to celluloid.
Apparently Speilberg loved it and Lucas didn't. What on earth was Lucas thinking? I therefore think anyone who paid good money and came out of the fourth Indy installment feeling angry and cheated, like I did, have a right to be able to read a far superior script that at least puts Indy in the action at the end and gives him similar hard decisions to make, just like he did in Raiders, Temple and Last Crusade....oh...and it has no Mutt!

AND NOW THE END IS NEAR...
...where did the last 21 months go?
Well that's almost it! 18 months of pure Animation Mentor and a break for the birth of my son. Time does fly when you're having fun!
I managed to get around 40 seconds of my 75 second short polished. It still needs more work on those 40 seconds I think and the remaining 35 seconds needs polishing.
I will now have a week break before I can join the Alumni site (as long as I graduate).
This site won't die but updates may be a bit sporadic. I do intend to post my full animation here soon and my full demo reel. So in a few months I'll start looking for work within the animation industry.
A big thank you to Bobby, Carlos and Shawn. Also a huge thanks to all their support staff at AM HQ who manage to solve any problems I had and calm my nerves during some difficult personal periods (birth of my son and moving house all in the same month).
Thanks to all who've left me great feedback!

INDIAN GIVER!
I know what I said...but...
Only four-and-a-bit weeks until AM ends. I'm progressing well with my short (which isn't that short) and I'm currently in the polishing stage.
Okay I know I said I'd post my full progress here each week but after receiving some advice from Michelle, my current mentor at AM, I've decided not to post my animation here for a while. The reason behind this U-turn is due to the fact I'm entering my short into an animation festival in November and I found that I can't enter it into most festivals if it's been posted online.
I'm dissapointed I can't share this with you just yet but I will put it up here as soon as it's finished being screen at festivals.
What I will start to post here is my progress at the AM Alumni site and the production of my first demo reel!
For now then, it's so long and thanks for all the Lasagne!!!! See you all very soon!
Found this and had to post it...being a huge fan!
