Cat personality animation and thoughts

Hi guys, the last week or so has been quite unusual I guess, as I have to slowly revert back to my normal routine. Balancing part time and animating has not always been easy but I feel that ever since my time off, I have that much more fresher approach as I'm able to focus a lot more on the task ahead rather than getting distracted.

I have then been able to finish an animation which I have unfortunately kept closed doors on but don't worry, it's down there below. I feel that this animation means so much more than just adding an extra few seconds to my showreel, the reason for this is because like I said from my previous post, that I started to get the feel of the creature which I never understood from the books, interviews that I had listened to. Until now.

My creature personality animation

Sure they're mistakes that are found from the video, like when I asked my brother on his thoughts, his initial answer was that "there should be a pause for when the creature sees the ball that is floating in the air", just this simple answer had so much volume and it really triggered my thoughts onto the next animation which I will work on next. 

However with that said, I can look forward to my next upcoming project and take into account all of these intricate details that would make a whole lot of a difference, when I show it to another person. 

Before my trip to Hong Kong, during my stay there for the month and when I arrived back; I knew that I had to start getting out of my room, to start applying to jobs or positions that would hopefully make me one step closer to achieving my goal for this year, which is to leave home. I had contemplated for far too long and after so many animations hiccups from this year, I knew that I can't give myself any more chances to delay this thought of mine. I will indeed be doing another animation or so but, I can't afford to waste anymore time. 

I will therefore start applying by the beginning of August and continue to hold my head up high but keep my head down to continue improving my animation skills. This will also mean that I will have to learn other skills like Mel scripting, Python and rigging. 

So, I'll see you guys next time.
