The Wrestler

Here is the final version I turned in for Term 4 of AnimationMentor:

it still needs lots of work. I don’t like the way her ponytail moves, but I ran out of time.

also some eyebrows need to be tuned. But at least she doesn’t have “man-hands” anymore.

Cinemasports.com has a competition to shoot, edit, and present a movie in 12 hours!!! Pretty hard, but pretty fun! I got together a group of comedians I know and we shot this little bastard. Enjoy:

Do you think your brain would blow up?

Here’s my first polished face piece from AnimationMentor:

Currently Rotting My Brain

I love candy. What you see here is my diet for this month.

When I get done watching these “pixel piles of pop-culture porn” I will write a self-indulgent review complete with video clips and… nah. I’m too ~~busy~~ lazy. in fact, this entry is an act of procrastination. I don’t feel like animating and my gout(see wiki if you care) is acting up. I just want to fling myself into bed, in my cold-ass house, and watch these wonderful works of art. I’m also watching Louis CK’s “Chewed Up”. I don’t feel like scanning the DVD cover… yet another act of procrastination.

Why do I feel the walls of professionalism crumbling…

I dunno. kinda tired right now. lots of work. lots of AnimationMentor. Not a lot of health. It’s better than my last pass but I almost destroyed myself with sitting at the computer for hours upon hours doing my job and this school. goddam I’m tired a lot. Okay. back to work.

BOLT is amazing

VERDICT: 9.3/10.0

There is an opening sequence with Bolt as a puppy, that is inspirational and emotional. It was animated by Becky Wilson Bresee, Within seconds you’re in love with this puppy. That scene has stuck with me and a few of my friends at AM.

The pigeon animation style was so hilarious. My mentor, Mike Belzer did some of the california pigeons. I want to see more of them on the Blu-Ray on in a sequel.

Overall,the story was good and there were a lot of great shots. There was some fantastic character animation. And of course…. RHINO… the most entertaining character (besides Kung Fu Panda and the Vulture from Horton) I’ve seen animated in a long time.

Mark Walton, a story guy at Disney, who does the voice of Rhino, was perfect. I’m glad they didn’t ditch him for some Hollowwood face.
I saw it in Real 3D. I Highly recommend it. It’s much better being able to feel the distances during the action sequences.

Also striking were the environments. Very few people get credit for amazing environments; they usually get overlooked. But in many scenes they really help set the mood. Especially the cardboard boxes in a weedy dirt lot in Vegas where Mittens wants to build a life for her new friends. That dirt lot was incredibly depressing and lead into a strong emotional moment where we learn why Mittens is the way she is.

I loved this movie.
