Portfolio Review

Yesterday I graduated and created a dispaly for my Portfolio Review. My display won 'Best In Show' for my department! I was so excited so I'm sharing some of the photos of the event to you!

Thanks for watching and please comment and critique!

Coming down to the End

Well, my demo reel got approved today! Hurray for that! It's only about a minute and a half, and it's a pure development and conceptual reel. I'm excited because I haven't seen anyone else graduate with just a reel focused on such a project. The jobs I can apply for with a reel like mine should also offer me some creative jobs for in the future and I'm so excited! It's a dream to think I could one day work for a company and get to use this skill.

The reel will be available online in just a few days! (hopefully!)
Will post it when it's available!

Also my flatwork art is available in a full color, 9x7 book!
It's not for sale, but for my own efforts in sending out my work to have it appear more professional. I want everything to go perfectly, because the type of job my reel focuses on is complex to label.

On another note, life is grand!

And also a note to all.....




If you're gonna dream, you might as well ask for the moon. Dream big and go all the way. Nothing can get in your way!



Dream Big.
Get going.
Get living.


Life's too small to waste on not doing what you wanna do with it.

And right now, life's pretty grand.

Demo Reel Progress

So I'm finally heading into the last week of portfolio. Wish me luck everyone! And if there's one thing I've learned from this project it's how to stay on track, diligence and to appreciate a valuable skill I've learned from my days as working as a cook...
Organization! It saves you a lot of time when you stay organized, even if you have to take some time out to do it, keep yourself updated and to move ahead.
So things are going ok, I don't have much left to tweak on the animations. I'm down to three shots and only one needs any actually tweaking on the animation so that should all be done on monday.

Last week I was worried because I was behind the class schedule (though still right on track on my own), however, this week my teacher was happy with my progress and gave me some good pointers (even if there wasn't much to fix- which is good on my part).

I can't wait to graduate!

I'll be updating as things progress. I'm excited to make my presentation, I have only one more thing left to send to a printshop online and that's my movie poster.
Yep! I'm doing a larger cut out featuring Anubis for my display- should be fun!
I can't wait to finalize the design for the rest....

But for now, it's dinner time.
