WHOA, WHOA, WHOA!!! Hold everything!!

Ok, so I was just looking over my blog and realised something! I haven't given proper introductions for my past 2 mentors and my current one!! WOW, I can't believe I let that one slide! Well, for term 3 I had Scott Lemmer from DNA studios! It was an awesome term and my breakthrough into acting, where I started the Robin piece that is shown below. Term 4 I had Dave Vallone from Blur Studios! Man, this guy can talk! And most of it had to do with animation! lol I had a great time working on facial animation for the Robin piece with him and doing a complete 2 person dialogue shot. He gave some very great and detailed crits. Now, drumroll please!

The mentor I currently have for term 5 and 6 and for undertaking a short film is!:

Doug Sheppeck!

Here's a list of his stats-

Cars (2006)

The Incredibles (2004)

Finding Nemo (2003)

The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001) - senior Animator

Toy Story 2 (1999)

A Bug's Life (1998)

Toy Story (1995)


I'm in week 4 right now and so far Doug has been great. I'm really excited about these final two terms at AM and know that he'll really push me to and beyond my limits!
