Done workshop 4. Let's start workshop 5

My 4th class came to an end last week. It was an awesome term and I really feel like my animation skills stepped up another notch. Its a great feeling! Ken Fountain, my mentor, and my classmates were absolutely awesome. This class was crazy hard for me, in September when I started Workshop 4, I moved to London, looking for a new job. Luckily right now I'm working in a really cool studio, with awesome collegues from all over the world, there are people from England, Ghana, India, Iraq, Iran, Lithuania, Poland, Belgium, Nepal, New Zeland, Nepal.
I love such multicular environment.

But it was pretty hard working and in the meanwhile attending iAnimate, so right now, there are still something to fix on my shots from workshop 4, hope to have a new reel in the next week, before the new workshop.

So now it,s on to class 5, full body acting with a new instructor Stephen Melagrano. He is a character animator from Dreamworks and he has made such awesome shots in several movies. Have a look at his showreel guys.



Still 1 year and I'll be graduated from iAnimate. I feel more comfortable about my skills in animation, but the walk to the top is still hard, so I have to keep pushing myself.
I can't wait to get a social life back once I get a job. I just know this hard work is going to pay off.

Thanks

Long time overdue post


Hello people,

Sorry for being invisible here for the last 5 months. I'll try not to make this a novel for you to read :)

I have been really busy with iAnimate, I finished workshop 3,in the while I had the opportunity to work for a commercial for Nissan, with 101% (Centounopercento).
It was such an awesome experience to work in this commercial. I learned a tons. I worked mainly as animator/3d artist, modeling the city and some props and, for sure, I animated a lot (characters and car). Also I had the opportunity to made some rigs...Yes, you have seen right... ;)


I would like to thank my last instructor: Mike Walling. It was great learn from him, he is a really great animator and an awesome person. I really increased my body mechanics skill, and right now I feel really comfortable about that.

This week is going to start another awesome workshop at iAnimate: "Close up facial acting and lipsync" with Ken Fountain an ex animator at Dreamworks that just opened is own studio, Splatfrog studio (Splatfrog Studio), just in case you lost it, this is his new reel

Ken Fountain - DreamWorks Animation Showreel

Couldn't wait to start again iAnimate.

Right now I'm looking for a new job in London, so let's see what happens...

Ps I have a new generalist reel and animator reel, but there are a lot of copycats, so just in case you need it, let me know.



Thanks for reading

Class 3 - Advanced Body Mechanics

Hey Everyone!
How is going? I was away for a while... ;-)
I put together some reels for all you to see. Also I collect my assignments made during workshop 02, I could definitely keep trying to perfect these animations, but I feel it's time to move on. I learned a tons from my mistakes.I have to thank you my mentor Mike Safianoff, he was really amazing, a really good instructor, and all my mates.I'm getting really excited about starting the 3rd workshop this week: Advanced Body Mechanics.







By the way I'm step closer to be a professional animator. Let's start animating... :)

Class 2 - Body Mechanics

Sorry for being invisible here for the last 5 months. I'll try not to make this a novel for you to read :)

I am really excited because I have completed the first of seven classes that are required to graduate from iAnimate. There is still a long way to walk. It was an AWESOME first term and I just started my second class today.  I feel its going to a great class because we will eventually be getting into full body characters.
We had our first Q & A at 5 am and met everyone in the class. I felt half asleep, but I really enjoyed it. My new mentor is Mike Safianoff. He works at Dreamworks. He did work on such movies Iron Man 2, Madagascar 3, Puss in Boots.

He seemed pretty easy going and cool. I have really great new mates and still the old 3 musketeers: me, Ricardo and Altug...

This is my progress reel for Workshop 1, it begins with my latest work and ends with my earliest.





And this is my generalist reel, with some of my latest work.








Enjoy it and keep animating...
