A super busy couple weeks as I keep pushing forward and honing my skills. So far, I've done 3 weeks of alumni tutoring, and results have been much better than expected.  Far more students in attendance and classes go far in overtime, it's been a great experience.  As well, the Werewolf shot evolves and somehow gets somewhat closer to completion but so much more work to do on it.  I changed the ending since I didn't like him jumping down a cliff so now it's over a crevice.  Since the whole thing is a quadraped body mechanics exercise, it's a little more suited, but I can't explain enough how much I've learned from doing this shot.  More polish yet to comes, I stress THIS IS NOT FINAL:
  As well I started working on a new shot for the Spline Doctors competition, and I have 6 days to whip that off.  It's far more achievable so I'm sure I can do it, but still quite challenging.  Basically it's a stylized walk, and there were many different themes to approach it with, I chose the 1970s theme and decided to go with a pimp strut.  Lot of fun pimping up bishop and managed to get a pass done on the blocking, I'll see what I can do to finish it lickety-split.
  More importantly though, I'm on a project!! Yea that's right, I am working for Bazley Films in the UK on a Kool project (The Kools) for the next little while.  It involved learning Lightwave and so far so good.  It's been and interesting experience, but I don't have too too much to report yet, and doubt I should release any WiPs from that so I won't.  Progress! :D
  Also super recently I was able to attend GDC Canada with an awesome press pass courtesy of VancouverAnimation and the work I do on the webcomic for that site. I guess I have somewhat of a fanbase but GDC was an amazing experience.  I'd like to think I did a lot of good networking, but only time will tell, hehe.
