I've been meaning to post at least a weekly update. That can't be so hard, right?
There's gotta be time in the week for one lousy update! So, here it is (hopefully not too lousy):
Title change! I'm now the "
CG Animation Director" at Nickelodeon. Gone are the days of "Supervising Animator". Do these titles really matter anyway? I guess it reflects what I do more accurately, which is good...
Apprentices Hired! I helped start a new program at Nickelodeon called the "CG Animation Apprentice" program. It's a program where we want to find some of the best new talent out there and develop them into stronger artists and full-time employees. I'll write more about it later because it's a really exciting program, but last Monday we brought in the last 2 for the current cycle. I plan on bringing in more sometime next Spring. Welcome Apprentices!
Maya Classes Started Again! Nickelodeon University started up again last week. I'm teaching two Maya classes - one that's more generalist, and one that focuses on animation. I love teaching, so both will be a lot of fun, but the animation class is what I'm really looking forward too this time around.
The Splats Softball Season Starts! Nickelodeon's team The Splats had our first official game of the season tonight. We had two practice games and were 1-1. But tonight we were missing a ton of the team, and we were handed a healthy loss. Ugh. I had my first ever
solo home run though, so that was exciting.
That's all for now...
