Class 2: START!! 180 Turn

Hey!!!!
My new mentor is Steve Cady!! Steve has worked at Rhythm and Hues and Weta and now resides in Montreal. He seems super cool and passionate about animation and I'm really excited to learn from him. You can check out some of his film credits on IMDB.com

We started right in this week with a great lecture from Rick O'Conner and a 180 degree turn for the assingment. There is no frame limit on this one so its up to us to come up with an idea and length. This week, we are doing planning. The assingment is to shoot video reference and draw thumbnails. Next week, we will start blocking. Here is my reference and thumbnails. See ya next week!!

P.S. The background painting was a random search I did on google for a dark forest. So, I cannot take credit for it. The artist that painted it is Judy Schmidt and it was posted on ice.org.
