Not too much to discuss here, just a second pass on the facial animation after receiving some notes.

We also worked on a few face pose tests (still imagery):

501 - Facial Animation Blocking

Here's the first pass on the facial animation for my dialogue shot. We really got into understanding the sounds and mouth shapes that happen when you speak.

Class 5 - Advanced Acting

It's been tough updating on account of a ton of life changing events occurring over the past several weeks.

Long story short: I'm leaving my day job to focus on animation and training full time. We'll see what happens, but it should be an interesting year ahead!

A few weeks back I started my 5th class at Animation Mentor - Advanced Acting. my mentor for this term is Ethan Hurd who I have heard nothing but great things about! So far I would say they're all very accurate. He's proving to be very knowledgeable with great critiques and a great personality!
