So, after almost a year of talking, planning, dreaming, saving, and oh-crap-look-at-the-exchange-rate-followed-by-slightly-more-frantic-saving, I’ve finally taken the plunge and started studying at Animation Mentor! So far it’s all been surprisingly relaxed; lots of people to get to know and a HUGE site to get acquainted with, but apart from that no crushing deadlines or stress or screaming or anything like that.

It’s almost like they’re trying to lull us into a false sense of security…

The class I’m with all seem really enthusiastic and friendly, as does our tutor, Mr Shaun Freeman. And, in a rather improbable twist of fate, I’ve found myself in the same AM class as one of my Bournemouth Uni classmates, Dan. I guess truth really is stranger than fiction. Everyone at Framestore’s been really enthusiastic about me studying at AM, which is also great (and odd, seeing as it means they’ll be seeing considerably less of me… oh… hang on a minute…)

So! Expect animations and sketches and such posted here on this blog as-and-when I have something to show. Commenting and poo-flinging at my work is expected, and even encouraged. Until then, as you were.
