Maya Springboard Progress Reel

It's now week 11 of my first term ever at Animation Mentor. Actual classes and assignments have finished, and I've compiled all my exercises done during this time (including some non-assignments) into this one video progress reel. The focus of the Maya Springboard class was becoming comfortable with the technology, so there was no mentoring of the 'art' itself. However, we were able to give each other comments, and this feedback helped immensely. From here onwards, things can only get better (sounds like a song I know....)



FYI to any non Animation Mentor folk looking at this, AM terms are pretty busy and we generally post our work internally within the AM site. Consequently, during my time at AM I may only update this blog at the end of each term.

Hey Rach. Cool profile pic ;) AM is 18 months in the core program. This Maya Springboard class was 3 months. Also you can optionally choose (perhaps) to do the 6 months worth of short film classes after you graduate...which I'm contemplating. Maya class is great for anyone even only a little unconfident about the animation tools in Maya. Then from class 1, maya will be just a pencil and u 100% focus on the art of animation. Way more thorough the uni could ever be :)
