New to Animation

admin's picture

Being new to the world of animation and not having any real college experience of it, I found myself thinking where the hell do I start, where do I go to learn, a full time course is out of the question, so am going to have to try and educate myself online, but what do you choose, where do you start.

Profiles

Profiles need some tweaking, with the node profile module its possible to have different page profiles and to be able to pick the one you want on display, so if you would like to discuss how to make decent profiles and what you would like displayed on them, I was thinking along the lines of having a different type of profile per type of member etc, but you can let me know what you think

About Me: 

When I was first considering becoming an animator a little over ten years ago I wanted to
have enough information to be able to do any kind of animation that I needed to. As I
worked with different methods I noticed that each had its own unique quality. Recently
with the advent of digital animation this notion has been challenged by the industry,
Growing up with animation and animated things gave me the motivation to seek a career
in the field. As a child in elementary school my best friend and would draw pictures of
monsters and sell them for stickers at school. The goal was to get enough to cover our
notebooks. I can remember that some of the first pictures I ever made were my
impressions of the giant monster movies with strange English voice over on TV. Later I
would go on to draw books and books of giant robots and other strange creatures,
eventually animating them. Upon our family’s visits to my uncle in Chicago we would
usually stay inside the house eating cereal and watching various volumes from Disney.
It seems as though being able to draw was a big part of accomplishing my goals, but it
was just something I would do for fun. Influenced by graphic illustrators such Barlowe
and Giger and later mangas from Otomo and Shirow
