Short Film Week 1

Well i got my first e crit from sean today. but first since i havent posted since my 1st qna lets talk about that. sean sexton is ultra sweet as a mentor, i actually watched some of his e crits while i was in class 4 and 5. so i was familiar with his style, but meeting him was totally cool. he likes to give tuts every week in stead of asking and answering a bunch of questions. but he lets us know that the most important thing is that we get all the feedback we need from him. so if we have a question that takes priority, so the tuts dont overshadow him making sure we're on point with our films. but the tuts are super helpful because we get to see a feature studio animators workflow, and decision making pertaining to a shot.
Now back to my ecrit, he likes what i've done so far on the layout, but he had a few suggestions for some cam moves and some acting choices to help the film translate better. i had to block my 1st third which wasnt as bad as i thought it would be, but not easy at all. I'm getting a little better with the dog rig (pawn) but its a struggle because you cant put him in certian poses because his mesh goes all goofy. so i spent today fixing some of the things sean mentioned in my 1st thrrd blocking, and showed it to him and he liked it. so thats goos cause now i can comtinue forward and get my 2nd third done before the weekend is here. supposed to go to a comedy club on sat. nite so i gotta get my work done before that. so with that in mind im outta here and i'll be back on sunday or monday with an update. HOLLA!
