I'll be posting Notes and interesting Animation related links here .
This is a private blog for my Online animation students from Academy of Art. You are encouraged to discuss the links and notes with your fellow students. Invited guests here include Ruben Cruz from ILL2D 495 Character Development for Animation, Heather Shipman and Edwin Gomez from ILL2d 692 Traditional Animation 2, Kim Whitfield-Holt and Sunny Notimoh from ILL2D 346 Animation Assisting.
It's my intention that this blog and any discussion of the links posted here will supplement your online class discussion, not necessarily replace it . For whatever reasons, the enrollment in Online 2D animation classses at AAU this semester is low , so I thought this private blog format might be a good way to give you all some more dynamic participation with other online animation students since each of the classes I'm teaching this semester are smaller than usual. But I don't think our small numbers this semester mean small ambitions or small results ! I think you can all encourage one another through responding to what I'm posting here as well as the specific material I'm posting on each of your class discussion boards.
Participation on this blog isn't required by any means , and I know everyone's busy with other classes online this semester as well, but I thought I'd try this out as an experiment in Cross-Classroom discussion online. I'll be trying to post new and interesting links and articles every week , so check in here regularly and if you have any good links you have come across on your own email them to me so I can post them here.
Welcome !
