this year, I want to build my own mocap studio. you know why? I’ll tell you why. cuz I will never have enough time to animate my own movies, there ya go. and I want to be an actor of my own movies, I’m really hyped about performance capture (and yes, I’m a professional animator 9 to 5…ish…)

Stay off the needle, for real this time. I mean it, no more slip ups, I just can’t sell myself for one more fix again and still feel good about it in the morning…

My 2010 New Years Res….. to become a better overall Animator!
I think I need to work mostly on nailing down some solid prepro/brainstorming ideas!

Happy New Year! One of my resolutions is to be more decisive. I tend to be one of those animators who “over analyzes” things. I take a lot of pride in doing really solid planning, but I find once I’m in the shot, I can get bogged down. Sometimes I think its best to make a decision, and trust it.

Also, I’m with Kate, can we hear more about # 2)
Block out shots more clearly and with less controls

Thanks Spline Docs!

I found this interesting:
2) Block out shots more clearly and with less controls
I was taught to touch every control on my poses when blocking but sometimes I just dont know if this is the best approach. Can you possibly disucuss this kind of blocking at some point if you havnt already.
Thanks and Happy New Year!!
