Here is my work from Class 4, Introduction to Acting, with Ray Chase!. .

I'm becoming nocturnal. A animampire.

Acting. With dialogue.

So, I'm smack in the middle of Class 4, Introduction to Acting, with my amazing mentor (I've been really lucky when it comes to mentors) Ray Chase! The only downside to this class is that my Q&A is at midnight here on the east coast. Oh well, I'm probably my most attentive and productive around midnight, given that I never recovered from the sleep schedule I was on while bartending! This class started with a 5-week-long assignment on pantomime.

Where does the time go? Class 3 has come and gone, and without a break week, I'm already immersed in week 2 of Class 4! As I mentioned in previous posts, I learned a ton from animation master Wayne Gilbert during the Advanced Body Mechanics class. I now pay much closer attention to what I'm watching while reviewing video reference, and I am much more confident when moving from blocking to spline.

Thanks to the newest fuzzy addition to my family (pictured left), I've been a tad behind on updating you all with my latest work. I'm not sure how many people drop by, but I appreciate it if you do! The past three weeks have been dedicated to the planning, blocking, and splining of the second shot in my Stewie at the Gym series: Stewie's Weight Lifting.

I know there haven't been updates in a few weeks, but just to catch you all up on the progress of my first shot in the Stewie at the Gym series: The Stretches. Or, the "stretchies," as one of my fellow AMers calls them.

Greetings from week 3 of class 3. I received some great notes from my mentor Wayne on my blocking of Stewie's first gym activity, the warm-up stretches.

I'm moving forward with my "Stewie at the Gym" series this week, but I've revisited the reference and sketches to address some very good notes that my mentor, Wayne Gilbert, gave me. I also gave Stewie some clothes so he doesn't get kicked out of the gym.

I tried a figure drawing class at the Fringe Collective Studio here in Athens, GA. It was definitely worthwhile since I haven't really done any non-AM-planning drawing since I left Blue Sky.
