My thoughts on something

It’s late though I had a chance to watch Monster House. As many people said the story was pretty good. There were some parts where it should’ve spent more time on, but I think it was entertaining. I know it’s called “Monster House” but I thought it was totally for kids, in fact it’s a PG film. Yeah, it’s definitely a scary film for kids!!

As you might know, most character animation is motion capture. As an animator, some animation was weird or weak, it would’ve been cool if characters had been animated by good animators. However the animation of the house looked awesome!

Over all it was a good movie, pretty entertaining. but I bet I’m not the only one who still think it could’ve done in live action or keyframe animation….Is motion capture cheaper than those? Will motion capture kill our jobs?

there aren’t many things about animation around me going on…

I didn’t have time to watch any of CG animated films I mentioned in my past posts…

Many of you guys who read this blog know AnimationMentor.com, don’t you? I have some friends taking it and know some animators teaching it. I just found they posted the student showcase reel on their website. well…..I may be very late finding this?!.. anyway, there are some nice animation clips in there, very inspiring! I think it’s worth checking it out.

I haven’t post my animation since…..last summer?! damn it…I really hope to start working on some test animation and put it on here.

Well, I know many of you already saw this, but go check out what this year’s siggraph was like!

I haven’t had a chance to watch any of three animated films, Monster House, The Ant Bully, and Barnyard yet. I have friends who worked on those films so hope I’ll see them soon. I heard some good and not good things about them…..anyway, I really hope they will do good jobs for us.
