…with Dana Boadway! She seems like a great mentor for this term. It’s week 2 now, so I’ve already got feedback from her about what animations I should have on my reel, and what I should improve. I’ve made a list of what to do with my shots, but this week I have to do alot of planning – sketching and video reference.
By the way, working as a character animator on “Knerten” is great!!! 
Here’s my to-do-list for AM, with the animation shots underneath:
-”Growl” shot:
Find more physical traits for the characters to get them more unique. Girl moves too much…almost like a doll and she distracts granpa’s talk. Find more appealing poses.
-”Monkeygirl” shot:
Change the first pose to a stronger silhuette. Cam further away(cuts legs). Lipsync needs more “ompfh” with more exaggeration.
-”Breakdance Stewie” shot:
Need to do a big pass on the body mechanics. I will put this shot on wait and see if I have time to fix it later in the term.
-”Chef” shot:
Not as good as my newer animation, so I’m not taking this into my reel.
-A new shot!?
I should have some more body mechanics on my reel, and I’m thinking about doing a more cartoony styled shot.
