Animation Mentor Class 5 Progress Reel 

Astrid, wow muchas gracias por esas palabras :) Me da gusto que mi trabajo le sirva a alguien más para lograr lo que quiere. Aún me falta un montón por mejorar, pero como bien dices con paciencia y práctica se puede. ¿En qué escuela estudias y qué tal les enseñan ahí?

Hey Ollie, I’m very glad you like it! I have worked on great stuff indeed. Animation Mentor is definitely top notch when it comes to learning animation. Please say hi to Ray and good luck in your assignments!

Still far from amazing but I appreciate it a lot! Thanks!

Juan Carlos Navarro No, truly brilliant! I love the Indiana Jones one you did. The lighting is great!

Thank you very much! Well, I was a beginner too a couple of years ago and still working hard to get to the next level. You just gotta be patient and animate a lot. You too keep on :)

Glad you like it :)

Thank you!

+Nico Burmester Hola Nico! Muchas gracias. Sí, este reel ya es tiene sus años pero me sigue gustando, puro cariño de estudiante, jaja. Hace dos años empecé a trabajar en Huevocartoon México, terminamos una peli y ahora vivo en Canadá y trabajo para Dreamworks TV. Me alegra que entres a AM pues es una escuela muy buena y aprenderás un montón. Mi consejo para ahora que empeizas es que no tengas miedo de cometer errores; es más, comete muchos errores y aprende de ellos; escucha mucho a tus mentores y sobre todo no te rindas si ves que las cosas no van saliendo como quieres. Toma mucho tiempo ser un buen animador (yo sigo y seguiré aprendiendo siempre). Saludos!

Yes, it's expensive and yeah I agree, it's not for everyone. Fortunately there are some other less expensive options out there to study animation the proper way. At the end, it is an investment more than paying and getting nothing in return. Also, thanks a lot for your words, I truly appreciate them.

Thank you very much man... Answering your question: Yes, I did model and render the sets myself, I just used a few downloaded props for one or two shots.

That's fantastic. You have some awesome stuff, I'm planning on enrolling in AM this winter!

Henrique Ribeiro Thank you for the kind words! The background is a matte painting, yes; only the character and the main tree are actual 3D geometry

+Juan Carlos Navarro Gómez hey man well done :). Quick question if i'm very poor at art can I still be an animator

+Juan Carlos Navarro Gómez like they do everything on computer hey we don't need to draw

Hey man... Thanks for the feedback and you're right about the hair thing. No matter how old this thing is, I can always learn from looking back at my old work to improve my animation. Can't agree more on little things making the difference. Cheers!

This was done using Maya. Animation is not about the software, it's about knowing how to animate regardless of the program you use. So my best advice would be to take animation classes.

chirag modi Sorry man, I don't quite understand your question very well :/

I guess he is saying how to in between idk either

Gracias hombre! Soy de México :)

tremendo trabajo, exito bro, algun dia quisiera hacer algo asi hahahaha

squal lionheart Gracias de nuevo, pues con trabajo y mucha dedicación, fallando e intentándolo de nuevo es como puedes lograrlo

alucard2040 Trabajé y ahorré para pagarlo. Cuando yo estudiaba en 2013 cada módulo de 3 meses costaba como 3,200 USD. No sé bien si el precio aumentó desde que terminé.

The only person you're hurting is yourself as you're ripping off someone else's work. Taking references is not bad at all, but a reference is just that. There's a huge difference between taking references and copying the setup, the layout, the posing and the acting choices. I mean, seriously? Even the blackboard texture is the same. I'll delete the comment in your reel and I hope you understand that you shouldn't do this again.
