Originally posted: Wednesday, 12 December 2007 Some of you may remember a website called 10 second club which has been around for a few years as a great testing-ground for animators. The concept was brilliant.. every month post a sound file and then let animators try and do their best to come up with the […]
Howdy folks! So I had some pretty strict commenting regulations when I started this new blog to try and reduce the amount of spam.. but I noticed that I haven’t been getting many comments at all.  So I’m easing up the restrictions a bit in the hopes that it’ll mean more people will comment. If […]
This is very cool.. Something that’s been kinda buggin me about my iphone camera is that it just doesn’t always take the best photos.  I mean, they’re great photos.. and it’s a “nice” camera.. but sometimes you just need a better lense, you know?

I’ve created a Downloads page that has scripts from the Animator Friendly Rigging DVD series.  I’ll be adding varioius mel scripts and fixes to that page, so keep checking back! Oh yeah, and happy holidays! 🙂

So this week I tried to keep a solid log of all of my time spent throughout the day using the incredibly useful Toggl.com website. As you can see, there were times when I wasn’t able to record what I was doing, especially wednesday.. a tough day.  But in general I got about 8 or […]
One of the other things I’m working on at the moment is time management.  It’s another common problem that supervisors tend to have when they first move up to a new role.   After all, if it previously took you 10 hours per day to animate just your own shot, how are you supposed to handle […]
So ever since I had two kids and got this new gig I haven’t had much time for exercise.. and it’s definitely starting to catch up with me. After the thanksgiving weekend I checked out my weight.. ack! 199! Very scary. I’m not used to being this heavy, and I don’t want to be.. so […]
