Getting there

Got the website up and running finally. It's alittle basic but I am going to work on some assets for it in the coming week and try to pimp it out as I am working on the actual short I will be promoting it on. Feel free to check it out at seattleshadows.com. Right now It pretty much just my portfolio and stuff but like I said, work in progress. I am still trying to refresh my old programming skills from about 2 years ago but I am starting to gain momentum as I work.

 I'll be working on one of the characters for the short as well as the interior environment first. I figure tackling one thing at a time instead of everything all at once would be easier but one extra shouldn't break the bank either. Plus being able to rig and pose the character in the environment he will be seen in should be a nice way to start letting the word out.

Shifting

Ok right now I am working to move the professional info to a cleaner location with my own website. I am going to keep up with this but I don't think it has that good of a set up with my blog being the first thing prospective employers will get to see so I am breaking out a domain I have been sitting on for last couple of months. Once everything is moved over and pointed in the right direction I'll update all of my contact info and stuff.

Well I have been reminded of the importance of frame padding today when I had to go through all of my animations to make sure they will import properly, shortly after it was suggested that I re-render about half of them. So yea I'll definitely not forget to put padding on my frames next time. Anyway I think I may move my stuff to a different site after some of the other suggestions my instructors gave me. I'll definitely try to avoid one with ads but if necessary I'll have to until I can get some premium hosting.

Progress

Ok I am going to have a finalized draft of my resume up in a few hours and shortly after that I'll have an animation reel up for everyone's viewing pleasure. Forward and upward!

Too much all at once.

Ok well right now I'm starting to think that I'll be busy pretty much for the rest of my life(hopefully).
I've been working on a cover letter for a company I would love to work for, rendering out the animations and stuff to compile into a quick demo reel to post on Portfolio so when I do give out this address they will have a few animations to look at, pulling together and updating some old environments, and I've started a "secret" project that I hope will be a nice piece. So yea we will see how all of this stuff turns out.

Still here!

Ok, so been working on completing the final bits of material for my last month at Full Sail and I've started working on an ambitious project I am hoping will be a short that pipes the interest in a few people.
Right now I am working on converting a few pages of a story into a short script. I figure once I have a little bit of prepro done and figured out how I would like to convey the story, I'll contact whoever it is I need to contact to see about securing permissions to show it off. If I can't do the whole short at least I'll have a few assets for my portfolio.

Ok back with a vengence

Alright I'm once again trying to pull out the stops on this thing. This time I have a bit more of a push to keep with it, especially since I am almost done with school and I had intended to have quite a bit more in here by the time I was finishing up with my degree.

So anyway, new pages! Now instead of posting everything here I'll be posting Work in Progress for things I'm working on and Portfolio for things I have completed. I will probably try breaking them down even further for each project/time frame but for now I'm just going to keep working on structure and hopefully keep things easy to navigate.
