I PASSED!

Yep, I found out today that I passed Class 1: Basic Foundations and will be starting Class 2: Phycology of Body Mechanics next week! Woohoo! It's exciting to know that I did it and will be progressing in my animation learning experience. I can't wait till Monday to figure out who my class 2 mentor will be. I don't plan on getting much sleep over the next 12 weeks, er...the next 60 weeks. From this point on, it will get harder and require a lot more of my time, and I am so ready for it! Bring it!!! =) Good thing i'm a night owl, as I don't mind staying up till early hours of the morning animating.

Since it has been forever since I have posted on here, I wanted to share a few more additions to my animator drawings and autograph collection that I have gotten in the mail recently.

This is a Disney Limited Release Commemorative lithograph of Tangled numbered 1008 of 5000 autographed by the directors of the film, Nathan Greno and Byron Howard and the producer, Roy Conli! Both Nathan and Byron added a small sketch and Roy added some words of encouragement saying "Follow your dreams!" and boy am I ever doing that! =) Maybe one day I'll have the opportunity to work at Disney as an animator, that would be amazing.

I got this HUGE 27"x40" Toy Story 3 poster in the mail last week from the director of the film, Lee Unkrich, and he was awesome enough to sign it for me! Now I just need to get this framed and up on my wall!
