Joseph James Krolick

Sorry, as it's got nothing to do with Animation Mentor, but at 5.54am on the 19th of October, JJ Krolick (my son) was born.
Below is a small selection of the THOUSANDS of photos that I've already taken of him. He was just over 8 lb's in weight, and was born in a waterbath. Trippy as hell!!!!

Week 2 at Animation Mentor.

Right, I'm now half way through week 2. I woke up this morning at 5.50 am to watch a live Tech support Q&A with Kevin Freeman. Most of the topics were slightly over my head, but I stuck on in there. He did let it slip that he animated Spiderman and the Silver Surfer. (Crumbs!)
Anyhoo, a little ahead of schedule, I've uploaded my week 2 Assignment. (Go to a public place, draw people, then re-create 1 pose with the 'Stu' character.)
The reason I'm a little ahead of shedule, is that Sophie, my girlfriend, is 2 days short of being 9 months pregnant. So, as my next week could pottentially be a tad challenging, I thought I'd get the work done at the earliest opportunity.
Here's what I uploaded;

Monday 1st October

Ok, I'm a bit new to all this blogging lark, but I'll give it a shot.
I'm commencing Animation Mentor today, so now's a good a time as any to start this whole ball rolling. (Or bouncing...)
I've watched all the orientation videos. I've checked out all the Maya training videos and I've also had a few emails from some of my fellow classmates.
I think it all starts for me tonight. 8 o'clock to be precise. As London's 8 hours ahead of California, I think they'll be loads of new info when I log on at 8.
The 1st few assignments seem pretty easy, but it all goes a little crazy after that. I watched a video on the AM site of a lad who wa holding down a full-time job, had 2 kids and was half way through the AM course. He looked totally exhausted. As I'm expecting my 1st child any day now, and I've got a full-time job, this all scared the sh*t out of me.

Oh well, I'll keep you all posted as I go on.
