Great sights

I know almost everyone would have seen this already since it was put onto the splinedoctors website but this site is amazing for when you have a few free mins.

Its all about body language and the thought process behind peoples movements.
Its a webpage version of a great book i've read a few times called 'People Watching' by Desomnd Morris! really great stuff...

im in the middle of animating a Larry David sound clip so i'll get some different stages on here soon :)

Enjoy

Well its the end of 2008 and i've had a great year. Feels like the longest year ever..in a good way!

TT animations show "What's your News?" starts on the 12th of January, at 7:30 and 4 am everyday and again on nick jr 2 :D

I can't wait. I only worked on it for 6 months and yet im so proud of it. The adverts start on the 29th but not sure what time so my poor family are going to be watching it 24/7.

I am also currently working on a short with a friend of mine. Something to keep my brain working outside of work. so when i get some things i'll put them on here.

On christmas eve there was a great animation called 'lost and found'on channel 4. It is an oliver jeffers book, who is an amazing illustrator and author and was made by studio a.k.a.
If you get a chance i definatly recommend you see it

Occupation: ANIMATOR!!!!!!

A month ago I was all excited because i was being allowed to go and visit TT animation studio in Knutsford for two weeks. I was over the moon just to be there for a little while as it really is a dream career. Some where i hoped to be in say ...oh 10 years!!!

So I went down to lovely (6 hour train ride away) Manchester and had a FANTASTIC time. The people were Lovely and made me feel really welcome but with each passing day I wanted to be part of the team more and more.
The show (which I can't really talk about) is fantastic...something i'd happily watch with my little sister on a saturday morning and the fact I was allowed to help our let alone work on the show was awesome!!!

It was the last day of the two weeks today and i was sitting on my desk feeling sick as a dog, waiting to hear 'thank u but no thanks' BUT

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

heehee

I start on the 30th and moving up there as soon as possible. I can't believe it. its insane!

i couldn't have had a better job if i'd created the position myself. Luckily everyones really lovely and puts up with my persistent questions and mistakes but i love it.

Animator for a TT animatio/Warner Brothers/ Nickelodeon childrens show!!!

get to animate for a living....what more can you ask for :D...well maybe some free Dr Pepper ...but they have that too!!!!!
