I was told by one of my friend about this artist she knows, that currently works at the Blue Sky studio. I checked out his blog and was blown away by his work. The sad part was that he was only a couple of years older than me. When I came back to my blog and looked at my drawings, it was depressing. I felt the urge to draw more and get better. Usually this kind of motivations don't last long, but I think this time it really hit me hard. I favorited his blog so I can go visit it once in a while and use it as my driving force.
Instead of making it fancy like last time, I quickly edited my reel in Final cut pro.
no text effects or transition effects... and it took me half a day.
Guess this is the right way to do it. since I have to update my reel often..
I cant spend too much time on it.
My reel now consists more of motion graphic samples.
I've always wanted to be an animator (animating cartoon characters)
I was so determined since I was little, and until college, I never doubted
I would give up this dream of mine.
Not that I decided to give up becoming an animator, but before I could even realize, I was heading towards becoming a motion graphic artist...
Working with people in productions, and trying to survive in this industry with scarce job opportunity... and many more reasons probably drove me this way.
I don't really mind becoming a motion graphic artist, but somehow it makes me feel sad that I am no longer so determined to be an animator.
I feel like a failure that gave up his dream. even though that's not the case.
I still want to be an animator and will pursue it sooner or later.
Some drawings I posted below were characters from my new film.
but I decided to scratch that idea for now.
I just need to make something that has contents...
that makes people think...
rather than something that's just marginally funny..
hmmm...
