Loadin’ Up the Wagon
And… breathe. Class 4 is complete and it was a roller coaster. Animation is, in a word, humbling. There were weeks when I felt like I could do anything and weeks when I felt worthless. This self-esteem punch is new thing for me. Animation is a beast that I’m only beginning to tame.
To be honest, this week finds me in an animation slump, mostly due to the fact that I lost about 20 hours of work today that I don’t have time to make up. Computers are jerks, but I’m to blame for not saving the files more often. At least I’ve got an excuse for why the dialog shot doesn’t look as refined as it should, but I’ll be (re)addressing that once I get settled into my new workstation.
That brings me to the most exciting news. I’m packing up my car today and heading west first thing in the morning! I’m planning to take my time, see some sights and arrive in Seattle sometime this weekend, probably Sunday. We’ll see how purdy that Yellowstone really is. I finally got myself a point&shoot camera, so I’ll take some photos of the adventure.

Exciting! I’m not sure what route you’re planning on taking through Yellowstone but if you go through the Tetons and Jackson it is BEAUTIFUL!! We took 26 in to Jackson, spent the night and then took 22 over the mountains – sooo gorgeous and the Swan Valley area in Idaho was absolutely beautiful! Enjoy the drive and watch out for Elk – seriously. See you in a few days!
