Este trimestre nos daban a elegir: podíamos hacer tres ejercicios individuales o bien tres animaciones entrelazadas que formaran una pequeña historia. Cada animación ha de constar de un máximo de 200 (a 24 fps) frames y ha de ser básicamente física, para que practiquemos movimiento corporal, que es de lo más difícil que hay en animación, si no lo que más.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi ejercicio consiste en tres animaciones entrelazadas, que cuentan la historia de un bombero que va a rescatar a un gato subido a un árbol (que será Taylor, la bola con cola que usamos en la clase 1). En esta, el bombero colocará la escalera junto al árbol; en la siguiente, subirá al árbol; y en la tercera intentará coger al gato, y ahí aún no he decidido lo que haré, pero no le va a ser nada fácil coger al gato. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cxoZJWYon5w?hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cxoZJWYon5w?hl=es&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El blocking ha recibido alabanzas de mi mentor por algo muy importante: está todo detallado, no dejo nada al azar o para después. Podéis ver pose a pose todos los movimientos que mi personaje va a realizar, sin ningún género de duda ni ninguna transición milagrosa de una pose a otra. En un blocking, cuanto más se detalle, mejor. Es tiempo que te ahorrarás después, a la hora de vértelas con las curvas, y sobre todo te ayuda a aclararte las ideas en los primeros momentos de la animación, cuando todavía es muy fácil cambiarlo todo porque no has tocado las curvas y sólo tienes unas cuantas poses que se pueden alterar rápidamente.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Total: no tengáis miedo de meter una clave cada dos o tres frames. Al contrario. Meted todas las que necesitéis, meted cambios de peso, todos los movimientos de los pies que hagan falta para ver las cosas claras, overlap si tenéis claro cómo va a funcionar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahora me he puesto con las curvas y aunque lleva tiempo (mi mentor dice que a él le lleva el mismo tiempo hacer el blocking que pasar a splines, aunque dice que puede ser habitual que lleve 1/3 del tiempo el blocking, y los otros 2/3 el splining), espero que poco a poco vaya tomando forma. Ya os lo enseñaré. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-9188206108502335788?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/9188206108502335788/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=9188206108502335788' title='7 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/9188206108502335788'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/9188206108502335788'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2011/01/blocking-del-primer-ejercicio.html' title='Blocking del primer ejercicio'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-7045999785425942514</id><published>2011-01-06T19:44:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2011-01-06T20:08:20.345+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='class_3'/><title type='text'>Cambio de mentor</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Pues nada, yo que estaba toda feliz con Chiang y van y nos lo cambian porque el hombre no puede con tanto.

He tenido poquísimo tiempo libre, y todo el que tenía lo empleaba en Animation Mentor, ya sea en ver críticas de mentores a otros alumnos, en leer el foro, dar feedback, ver animaciones de algunos compañeros, ver o leer entrevistas a gente del mundillo... Son un montón de cosas interesantes que no se pueden dejar de lado.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El próximo trimestre me temo que será algo parecido, y es que no doy abasto a escuchar críticas, sobre todo las de Chiang. No me cabe ya ninguna duda de que ese es el punto fuerte de Animation Mentor y de que se aprende horrores escuchando y observando. La animación está adquiriendo una nueva dimensión en mi cabeza y tengo que hacerle sitio, porque aún queda un montonazo de cosas por meter ahí. Dentro de poco no me sabré ni mi número de teléfono. XD&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí os dejo la reel con los trabajos que he hecho durante los dos primeros trimestres.

La buena noticia es que no hace falta que sea sobre papel. En AM lo hacemos sobre papel porque los mentores no pueden leer nuestra mente y hacer correcciones en ella, así que nos mandan plasmar nuestras ideas en papel y así las emborronan haciéndonos correcciones aquí y allá.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero esos mismos mentores no siempre planifican en papel.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La planificación empieza con la búsqueda de referencias en vídeo y demás. Tras esto, muchos profesionales pasan directamente al blocking. En la industria no les van a pedir los papelitos con las ideas (o eso tengo entendido), sino el blocking que harán rápidamente para plasmar esas ideas y ver si funcionan. La finalidad del blocking no es otra que expresar esas ideas y obtener feedback lo antes posible para seguir adelante o corregir rápidamente lo que diga el director.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hay quien no busca referencias tampoco. Si la animación está clara en su cabeza y tienen experiencia (fundamental), son capaces de realizar la animación con la visión que tienen de ella en su cerebro. Esto suele suceder cuando hay prisas, como cuando trabajas para series de la tele o para un videojuego de poca monta. Las animaciones serán algo peores porque no tendrán esos pequeños detalles que sólo se obtienen de las referencias y que las hacen diferentes, pero funcionarán, y eso es lo que cuenta en este tipo de trabajos.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Luego están los que tienen menos experiencia o los más concienzudos, que aparte de estudiar la referencia y visualizar la animación en su cabeza, toman notas y estudian en el papel cómo funcionan determinadas cosas, como el overlap en determinado sitio, anticipaciones, etc. Sus dibujos no suelen ser ni mucho menos tan cuidados como los que hacemos en AM, porque sólo los tienen que entender ellos mismos. Aquí nos los curramos porque, si no, el mentor no se entera de nada.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y luego estamos los estudiantes, que lo ponemos todo sobre el papel para que el mentor nos ponga pingando el planning y nos amueble el cerebro con buenas formas de planificar poses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo curioso es que los principiantes creemos que no tenemos que planificar porque en nuestra cabeza lo tenemos claro. Y en realidad lo tenemos claro porque no tenemos más que cuatro ideas en la cabeza. Por lo que a mí respecta, en cuanto he empezado de verdad a aprender a animar y he entrevisto la complejidad que encierra cada pequeño movimiento, el papel  y el lápiz se me han hecho imprescindibles. Eso sí, luego tengo que pasar las cosas a limpio para enseñárselas a los mentores, pero a mí me son necesarias, al igual que lo era hacer algoritmos en papel cuando nadie sabía para qué servían en clase de programación. Actualmente me resultaría imposible hacer una animación mínimamente compleja sin tomar algunas notas en papel para recordar detalles, muy especialmente relacionados con el overlap (el péndulo famoso).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y creo que esto es todo por lo que respecta al planning. De momento. No dudéis en preguntarme cosillas si tenéis dudas. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-9154771182462392537?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/9154771182462392537/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=9154771182462392537' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/9154771182462392537'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/9154771182462392537'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2010/11/mas-cosillas-sobre-el-planning.html' title='Más cosillas sobre el planning'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-5387440325528648953</id><published>2010-11-17T01:26:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-11-17T01:37:16.290+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Ballie'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='class_2'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animation mentor'/><title type='text'>Resultado del primer ejercicio</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Buf, he dejado pasar un montón de tiempo sin actualizar.

También ahora me empiezo a dar cuenta de lo bien que viene la clase 1, esa que todos creemos demasiado básica para nosotros y que queremos saltarnos si podemos.

Durante este tiempo he animado alguna cosita en Flash y muy poco en 3D. He aprovechado para tomarme un respiro, y el comienzo del curso me ha pillado oxidada y centrada en otras cosas. Pero ya han pasado dos semanas y ya he recargado las pilas. Me he puesto a ver trabajos de los estudiantes y no falla: siempre hay unos cuantos que te inspiran y te llenan de energía. Así que vamos allá. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Mi mentora en esta ocasión es Dana Boadway, a la que ya conoceréis, pues puse &lt;a href="http://www.animationmentor.com/11secondclub/2010jul.html"&gt;un ejemplo de crítica&lt;/a&gt; no hace mucho tiempo en la que salía ella. Todo el mundo habla bien de ella como mentora, así que espero que critique mucho. :D No obstante, sigo la pista a Chiang y no dejo de escuchar sus críticas a otros alumnos. ¡Se aprende muchísimo escuchándole! Hay otros mentores que también merecen un ratito para escuchar sus críticas, se aprende mucho con ellos. Del mismo modo, hay algunos alumnos que lo hacen tan bien (o incluso tan mediocremente) que se aprende un montón con las críticas que les hacen. En el primer paso, aprendes a refinar en plan profesional, y en el segundo, como falla lo básico, reafirmas lo aprendido.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El ejercicio para estas semanas era a elegir entre varios. Entre los de mayor nivel de dificultad estaban el giro de 180 grados (que lo hice en mi segundo trimestre anterior) y un paso largo hacia adelante. Así que elegí este último. La planificación es esta:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/TLW7KoRzgeI/AAAAAAAABYw/iUSHw_GCZe0/s1600/planning_side_view.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 224px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/TLW7KoRzgeI/AAAAAAAABYw/iUSHw_GCZe0/s320/planning_side_view.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5527529908952334818" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Filmé un pequeño vídeo de referencia (siempre imprescindible), y mi mentora me hizo ver que había pequeños detalles que estaría muy bien integrar, cositas que le dan vida a la animación: un pequeño reajuste de los pies al principio, un pequeño desequilibrio al final... Todo ello, exagerado para que resulte más entretenido para la audiencia, dio lugar a este blocking.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="385" width="480"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/kEAC1Wo7XcI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=es_ES"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/kEAC1Wo7XcI?fs=1&amp;amp;hl=es_ES" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;En principio, el timing, las siluetas, el overlap y el movimiento de los pies me ha dicho que es correcto, y me ha puesto una nota excelente. Ahora toca pulir el blocking y luego, la próxima semana, refinar la animación, asegurándose de que los arcos son correctos, de que el timing está perfecto, de que no hay pops en la animación... Un pop es un movimiento demasiado brusco entre dos frames. Podéis ver que en esta fase de blocking yo tengo varios. Hay uno muy obvio en la rodilla, tras el paso grande y cuando empieza a arrastrar la pierna. Todo eso se solucionará en los siguientes pasos de la animación. Ahora lo que importa es timing, poses y pies bien plantados.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Más información el lunes o el martes, tras la crítica. ;-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-971424897411278460?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/971424897411278460/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=971424897411278460' title='7 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/971424897411278460'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/971424897411278460'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2010/10/alla-vamos.html' title='¡Allá vamos!'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/TLW7KoRzgeI/AAAAAAAABYw/iUSHw_GCZe0/s72-c/planning_side_view.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>7</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-3103288126128703256</id><published>2010-09-04T14:15:00.002+02:00</published><updated>2010-09-04T14:17:37.811+02:00</updated><title type='text'>Retake!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A finales de este mes, si todo va bien y no hay sorpresas desagradables, retomaré Animation Mentor.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tendréis noticias mías. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;By the end of this month, if everything goes well and there are  not unpleasant surprises, I will retake Animation Mentor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 102);"&gt;I will let you know. :-)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-3103288126128703256?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/3103288126128703256/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=3103288126128703256' title='4 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/3103288126128703256'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/3103288126128703256'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2010/09/retake.html' title='Retake!'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>4</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-6060903475320599100</id><published>2010-02-15T20:40:00.003+01:00</published><updated>2010-02-15T20:41:45.151+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal'/><title type='text'>Adiós temporal a Animation Mentor</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Temporal... o eso espero.

Le gustó el resultado y me sugirió añadir el squash&amp;amp;stretch que aún no tenía, así que lo añadí de modo sutil. Creo que me quedan por resolver algunos pops en las rodillas, pero bueno, de momento voy a centrarme en el siguiente ejercicio.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Here it is, the last version of the animation of the turnaround, already reviewed and added the last details Chiang pointed out. He liked the result and suggested me to add the squash&amp;amp;stretch that I still hadn´t added, so I did it subtly. I think I still have to get rid of some pops on the knees, but well, now it's time to move on to the next assignment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/hnFa2yrB58g&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/hnFa2yrB58g&amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;hl=en_US&amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para las siguientes semanas he elegido una secuencia de parkour, que es esta:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;For the next few weeks I will be animating this parkour sequence:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zCSdktYOJho&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zCSdktYOJho&amp;amp;color1=0xb1b1b1&amp;amp;color2=0xcfcfcf&amp;amp;hl=en_US&amp;amp;feature=player_embedded&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y aquí está el blocking, con las poses principales en stepped:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;And here is the blocking, with the main poses in stepped:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/P_XMr8pwxCI&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/P_XMr8pwxCI&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;A James le ha gustado en general, en especial los saltos. Me ha comentado que la peor parte es el final, donde el cambio de peso y el movimiento son confusos. También he de retocar algunos frames en la carrera inicial y, en general, marcar más la línea de acción para hacerla más clara y limpia. Insiste muchísimo en la línea de acción, incluso ha hecho planificaciones de animaciones dibujando únicamente la línea de acción, y se las arregla para que comuniquen y tengan sentido. También huye de las poses planas, nos induce a incluir pequeñas rotaciones por todas partes para crear una sensación más orgánica y tridimensional en el personaje.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;James liked it in general, especially the jumps. He told me that the worst part is the ending, where the change of weight and the movement are confusing. I also have to check some frames at the beginning, when the character runs, and make the line of action clearer and cleaner in general. He insists a lot in having a good line of action. He has even done plannings only by drawing the line of action, and he manages to make them comunicate and make sense. He avoids flat poses, and tells us to add small rotations everywhere to create a more organic and 3-dimensional sense in the character.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-2982750669579697965?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/2982750669579697965/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=2982750669579697965' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/2982750669579697965'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/2982750669579697965'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2010/02/mentor-class-2-week-5.html' title='A.

Mentor: weeks 3 and 4</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Este trimestre está siendo un poco accidentado. Nuestro mentor, Chad Stewart, tuvo que dejar el curso &lt;a href="http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2010/jan/12/large-family-has-little-left-after-fire/"&gt;porque su casa se quemó&lt;/a&gt;, así que le sustituyó temporalmente T. Dan Hofstedt, que fue quien le echó un vistazo al vídeo que publiqué en el último post e hizo divertidos comentarios acerca del squash&amp;amp;stretch del gato. :-)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Finalmente, nos ha tomado el relevo James Chiang, y tengo que decir que me considero muy afortunada de que James sea mi mentor. Es muy exigente, muy honesto, muy constructivo, explica de lujo y da la impresión de conocer perfectamente no sólo su profesión de animador, sino también su labor como profesor. El tío es condenadamente bueno criticando el trabajo de los alumnos. Sabe exactamente lo que falla en el mismo momento en que lo ve, y no vacila en decírtelo con todas las letras: "Esto está mal, no conozco a nadie que se mueva así, tienes que hacerlo así y así, tal como lo has hecho no tiene sentido porque el peso tiene que transferirse de una pierna a otra y bla, bla, bla". Y te lo dibuja ahí con cuatro líneas y lo ves todo clarísimo. Y encima ya nos deja la crítica el lunes, lo cual es toda una mejora comparado con el trimestre pasado, que las tenía el martes de noche o el miércoles por la mañana.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;This term has been a bit troubled. Our mentor, Chad Stewart, has had to leave the course because &lt;a href="http://www.spokesman.com/stories/2010/jan/12/large-family-has-little-left-after-fire/"&gt;his house was burnt down&lt;/a&gt;, so he was temporarily replaced by T. Dan Hofstedt, who was the one that looked at the video I published in the last post and made amusing comments about the squash&amp;amp;stretch of the movements of my cat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Finally, James Chiang has taken over, and I have to say that I feel very fortunate to have him as a mentor. He is very demanding, very honest, very constructive, he explains wonderfully and he gives the impression of knowing perfectly not only his work as an animator, but also his work as a teacher. This guy is amazingly good giving critiques to the student´s work. He knows exactly what is wrong from the moment he sees it, and he doesn´t hesitate to let you know it: "This is wrong, I don´t know anybody who moves this way, you have to do it this way, the way you did it doesn´t make any sense because you have to transfer the weight from one leg to another and blablabla". And he draws several lines and suddenly you see it so clear! And he also gets the critiques done all by monday, which is a great improvement in comparison with last term, when I got mine about tuesday night or wednesday morning.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta es la corrección que hice del blocking de la semana anterior:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;This is my reblocking for last week:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/EXLGPwhKo4U&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/EXLGPwhKo4U&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Tengo que decir que a James no le gustó nada. Dijo que no cambiaba el peso bien, que el timing era demasiado uniforme (está en lineal, así que es lógico) y, en fin, que me lo puso pingando, aunque me puso una nota aceptable a pesar de ello.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nos recomendó encarecidamente no pasar la animación a lineal. Una cosa muy interesante que dijo es que, en stepped (sin interpolación entre poses), nuestro cerebro calcula automáticamente un timing correcto, y ese es el timing que tenemos que replicar con el editor de curvas. Normalmente, en stepped lo vemos correcto, y cuando lo pasamos a lineal lo estropeamos para luego arreglarlo de nuevo en splines. ¿Qué tal si nos saltamos el paso intermedio? Así que me lo salté y oye, funciona. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;I have to say that James didn´t like it at all. He said that I didn´t change the weight properly, the timing was too even (it's linear mode, so it is logical) and, well, that it was quite bad. My grade was acceptable though.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;He recommended us not to use linear mode. He said that, in stepped (with no interpolation between poses), our brain can calculate the perfect timing, and it is this timing the one we have to try to reproduce in our animation through the graph editor. We usually see the animation correct in stepped mode, and when we change to linear we make a mess with it and then we try to solve it going to splines. Why not going to splines directly? Well, I did it and it works! :D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Siguiendo sus indicaciones, esta es la animación ya refinada de la cuarta semana:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Following his directions, this is the refined animation for the fourth week:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/zET3rk-lMJw&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/zET3rk-lMJw&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Esta le gustó mucho más y me puso una nota muy buena, lo cual no es nada fácil de conseguir con James. Este trimestre estoy aprendiendo muchísimo, y lo que me queda. No hago más que intentar asimilar más y más información. Me encanta Animation Mentor. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;He liked it a lot more and he gave me a very good grade, which is not easy to get with James. This term I am learning a lot, and I still have to learn much more! I can´t stop trying to assimilate more and more information. I love Animation Mentor. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-5261346971877419105?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/5261346971877419105/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=5261346971877419105' title='7 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/5261346971877419105'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/5261346971877419105'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2010/02/mentor-weeks-3-and-4.html' title='A.

Mentor: Class 2 - week 2</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Ya hemos comenzado el segundo trimestre de Animation Mentor. Ha costado un poco ponerse otra vez al tajo después de los días que pasé en Asturias, pero creo que ya estoy otra vez en forma.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;El segundo trimestre promete ser mucho más interesante y difícil que el primero. Vamos a seguir animando a Ballie (la bola con patas), simulando las caderas y las piernas del cuerpo humano. Luego subiremos y añadiremos el torso y la cabeza, sin brazos aún para entender que el torso también reacciona al movimiento (cuando los principiantes animamos los brazos tendemos a olvidarnos de la espalda y los hombros), y finalmente añadiremos los brazos y tendremos a Stewie, un divertido personaje con el que haremos muchas monerías entre el segundo y tercer trimestre. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;De momento, nos han dado a elegir una entre varias actividades para animar con Ballie, y yo he optado por un giro de 180 grados. Lo que podréis ver a continuación es el "blocking". El blocking consiste en elegir las poses principales (aquí viene a cuento todo el trabajo de poses que hicimos en el primer trimestre) que cuentan la historia. Estas poses han de ser creadas cuidadosamente, intentando expresar con ellas tanto como podamos, como hacíamos en ejercicios previos. De momento, el paso de una pose a otra será brusco, sin fluidez, pues lo que nos interesa es ver si nuestra idea funciona, cuánto tiempo llevará y si resulta entretenida e interesante.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;La semana pasada hicimos el planning y tomamos vídeo referencia para ayudarnos con la animación. La vídeo referencia es probablemente lo más útil para este tipo de ejercicios, si bien nunca hay que copiar, sino interpretar y exagerar lo que vemos. En las próximas dos semanas puliremos las poses y el blocking y suavizaremos la animación para que quede fluida.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;We have started the second term of Animation Mentor. It has been a bit hard to go back to work after some days in Asturias, but I think I am in shape again.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;The second term promises to be much more interesting and hard than the first one. We'll keep on animating Ballie (the ball with legs), simulating the hips and legs of a human body. Later we will add the upper body and the head, without arms yet to be able to understand how the torso reacts to the movement as well (when we beginners animate the arms, we tend to forget about the spine and shoulders), and finally we will add the arms and we will have Stewie, a funny little character we will make very nice animations with during the second and third terms.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;At the moment, we have had to choose one among several activities to animate with Ballie, and I have chosen a 180 degrees turnaround. What you will see next is the "blocking". The blocking consists of choosing the main storytelling poses (here everything we learnt about poses in the first term begins to come into place). These poses have to be created carefully, trying to express as much as possible, as we did in previous exercises. At this point, the interpolation between poses will be stepped, not fluid, because what we are interested in is only if our idea works, its timing and duration and if it looks entertaining and interesting.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;Last week we did the planning and we took video reference to help us with the animation. Video reference is probably the most useful tool for this exercises, but we never must copy: we must interpret and exaggerate what we see. During the next two weeks we will polish the poses and the blocking and we'll smooth the animation until it looks fluid.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S1TjDYsVTMI/AAAAAAAAAGg/yRdqI4yyvmM/s1600-h/planning1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 86px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S1TjDYsVTMI/AAAAAAAAAGg/yRdqI4yyvmM/s320/planning1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428213098195799234" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S1TjDpO-l9I/AAAAAAAAAGo/kUKNTbYnoPI/s1600-h/planning2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 92px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S1TjDpO-l9I/AAAAAAAAAGo/kUKNTbYnoPI/s320/planning2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5428213102636079058" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/esND7HrAeRo&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/esND7HrAeRo&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bIF1nzhOG8k&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bIF1nzhOG8k&amp;amp;hl=es_ES&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-776137197450607618?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/776137197450607618/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=776137197450607618' title='3 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/776137197450607618'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/776137197450607618'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2010/01/mentor-class-2-week-2.html' title='A.

Yo creo que al mío le falta trabajo. No tuve tanto tiempo como me habría gustado, porque aunque mi primera aproximación fue buena, mi mentora me indujo a exagerarla más para darle más fuerza. Así que esta semana tuve que rehacer todo lo que había hecho la semana pasada y, además, hacer lo de esta. Creo que con más tiempo podría quedar mucho mejor, pero de todos modos tampoco se ve horroroso, o eso espero. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;En cuanto a poses, tuvimos que pensar poses en las que Stu tuviese más peso en una pierna que en otra y aún así estuviese en equilibrio, por lo que hemos tenido que prestar especial atención a las caderas y también al considerable cabezón de Stu. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;We have been learning how to get the illusion of weight and life, and how to express a feeling only through the way a person walks. I think mine needs more work. I didn´t have so much time as I would like, because even when my first approach was nice, my mentor wanted me to push it more to make it more powerful. So this week I had to redo all I had done last week and, also, do what I was supposed to do this week. I think with more time the result would have been much better, but it doesn´t look horrible anyway, or I hope so. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Regarding poses, we had to think about poses where Stu had more weight over one leg than over the other and was still balanced, so we had to pay especial attention to the hips and to Stu's huge head. :D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/Syd_Eat5LNI/AAAAAAAAAGI/u4N25QDhDX0/s1600-h/sketches.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/Syd_Eat5LNI/AAAAAAAAAGI/u4N25QDhDX0/s320/sketches.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415436790804327634" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/Syd_Euj-lJI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/g5yhMjQSVYY/s1600-h/stu_balanced1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 282px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/Syd_Euj-lJI/AAAAAAAAAGQ/g5yhMjQSVYY/s320/stu_balanced1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415436796131447954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-8383787017146047183?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/8383787017146047183/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=8383787017146047183' title='1 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/8383787017146047183'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/8383787017146047183'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2009/12/animation-mentor-week-11.html' title='Animation Mentor: week 11'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/Syd_E2QRXUI/AAAAAAAAAGY/P7usf68Hyzg/s72-c/planning.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-5863804563553998223</id><published>2009-12-15T11:55:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-15T13:44:27.730+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal'/><title type='text'>Yin</title><content type='html'>Este es Yin (tiene un añito):&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;This is Yin (one year old):&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SydrT-ChFEI/AAAAAAAAAGA/DzmwZmj-q4k/s1600-h/primer_plano2.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 251px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SydrT-ChFEI/AAAAAAAAAGA/DzmwZmj-q4k/s320/primer_plano2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415415067751552066" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SydrTqMPKlI/AAAAAAAAAF4/WHiNc5Wp39w/s1600-h/primer_plano.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 256px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SydrTqMPKlI/AAAAAAAAAF4/WHiNc5Wp39w/s320/primer_plano.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415415062423611986" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Lo encontraron nuestros amigos Rubén y Alicia abandonado en la calle. Era de un vecino que aparentemente lo maltrataba, dándole patadas y dejándolo todo el día en una cornisa minúscula y además solo. O eso, o encerrado en una habitación. Yin tenía roto el rabito y se le soldó mal, así que ahora tiene como un tropezón en él, aunque lo mueve con soltura. También cojea un poco de la pata trasera derecha, lo que le impide saltar con la seguridad que a él le gustaría, pero por lo demás, está bien.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;No era así cuando lo encontraron Rubén y Alicia. El dueño del gato se fue del piso y no se le ocurrió otra idea más genial que abandonar al gato en la calle. Acostumbrado a comer sólo pienso, fue adelgazando y perdiendo fuerzas mientras lloraba en el portal esperando  a que su dueño volviera y mientras recibía zarpazos de otros gatos callejeros cuando se acercaba a ellos buscando compañía.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rubén y Alicia lo recogieron cuando ya no se tenía en pie y estaba consumido por las pulgas y lleno de costras. Lo llevaron al veterinario, lo vacunaron y esterilizaron, le quitaron todas las pulgas y lo alimentaron y le dieron el cariño que necesitaba. Pero no se lo pudieron quedar, pese a que querían, porque su gato, de 10 años, no hacía buenas migas con él y se angustiaba mucho al ver mermado su territorio. Así que empezaron a buscar otro dueño.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y aquí entramos en escena Emilio y yo que, pese a no tener ni idea de lo que nos depara el futuro, hemos decidido comprometernos a cuidar del gato por los siglos de los siglos. Como dice él en &lt;a href="http://estenoeselblogqueestaisbuscando.blogspot.com/2009/12/dooooooooonde-caben-dooooooooooos-caben.html"&gt;su blog&lt;/a&gt;, donde caben dos caben tres. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yin (le hemos puesto este nombre porque es negro como el azabache, aunque el color de las fotos mienta y aparezca como marronáceo, y en el futuro esperamos adoptar a Yang) es cariñosísimo, mucho más tranquilo de lo que esperaba. Creo que está contento de estar aquí. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;He was found by our friends Rubén and Alicia, he had been abandoned in the street. The owner was a neighbour that mistreated him, battered him and left him the whole day in a tiny windowsill, alone. Or maybe locked in a room. Yin had his tail broken and it didn´t weld very well, so it is not straight anymore. He moves it gracefully though. He also limps a bit, there is something about his back right leg, so he can't jump as easily as he would like, but apart from that, he is fine.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;It was not like that when Rubén and Alicia found him. The owner left the house and the had the great idea of leaving the cat abandoned in the street. Used to eat fodder only, he lost weight and strenght gradually while he cried in the street waiting for his owner. He tried to approach other cats in the streets, but they also mistreated him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Rubén y Alicia picked him up when he couldn´t stand anymore and was consumed by fleas and full with scabs. They took him to the vet, they vaccinated and castrated him, got rid of the fleas, fed him and gave him the love he needed. But they couldn´t keep him, even when they wanted, because their cat, 10 years old, didn´t like him at all and got really upset when he was around. So they started looking for a new owner.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;And here come Emilio and me, who, even when we don´t know what is going to happen in the near future, we have decided to accept the commitment and take care of the cat forever and ever. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt; Yin (we have called him like that because he is black like jet although the colour in the pictures looks brownish, and in the future we hope to adopt Yang) is very sweet, and much quieter I thought. I think he is happy to be here. :)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-5863804563553998223?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/5863804563553998223/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=5863804563553998223' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/5863804563553998223'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/5863804563553998223'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2009/12/yin.html' title='Yin'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SydrT-ChFEI/AAAAAAAAAGA/DzmwZmj-q4k/s72-c/primer_plano2.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-7397096143033435906</id><published>2009-12-11T11:41:00.005+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-11T12:25:17.704+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animation mentor'/><title type='text'>Animation Mentor is different</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A estas alturas tal vez os estaréis preguntando qué hace de Animation Mentor una gran escuela. ¿Por qué tiene tanta fama? ¿Por qué es tan cara? Hasta ahora, todo lo que he mostrado han sido unos ejercicios que podría haber hecho en otra escuela de animación mucho más barata, o incluso por mi cuenta, y que podría corregirme cualquier profesor con conocimientos de animación.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Animation Mentor tiene varios puntos fuertes. En primer lugar, los profesores, llamados aquí mentores, son grandes animadores que han trabajado en los principales estudios de cine y animación del mundo. En este momento, la escuela cuenta con 77 mentores, y además cuenta con más animadores que, sin poder comprometer su tiempo con la escuela, se pasan igualmente de vez en cuando a ayudar a los alumnos con sus críticas o para intervenir en los foros.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pero la gran riqueza de la escuela no es esta, ni siquiera es que tu mentor te corrija tu ejercicio comentando hasta los más ínfimos detalles para que realmente comprendas dónde has fallado. Ni siquiera es el foro, en el que puedes preguntar todo lo que quieras de animación sabiendo que obtendrás una respuesta.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ni siquiera es que conoces gente de todo el mundo, animadores, y colaboras con ellos para aprender más y mejorar tu trabajo cada semana con sus críticas.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lo mejor de la escuela es que cada uno de los 77 mentores tiene entre 10 y 16 alumnos, más o menos, que cada uno de esos alumnos hace un ejercicio semanal, que sus mentores graban en vídeo una corrección &lt;a href="http://www.animationmentor.com/11secondclub/mentorcritique.html"&gt;como esta&lt;/a&gt; y que tú, como alumno, puedes acceder a TODAS las grabaciones y aprender de TODAS las críticas, no importa en qué clase estén. La clase 1 es el primer trimestre (nivel básico) y hay 14 mentores. Imaginad lo que se puede aprender escuchando un mínimo de 140 críticas de ejercicios distintos, poses distintas, errores distintos. Pero es que en la clase 2, que animan ya el cuerpo humano completo (sin la cara aún), hay otros tantos mentores y se podrían ver otras 150 críticas hechas por grandes animadores a sus alumnos. Y en la clase 6, que ya están con animación completa y acting (diálogo y emociones), también tienen su ejercicio semanal, con lo cual tú, aunque estés intentando situar bien el peso bajo las caderas de Stu en tus primeras poses, puedes ir poco a poco comprendiendo más de animación oyendo cosas como "añade más overlap aquí", y darte cuenta de que los principios básicos están en tooodas partes y que son aplicables a todos los niveles de animación.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Para mí, esto es lo que hace que Animation Mentor sea diferente. Y el único problema de Animation Mentor es que nunca se tiene el tiempo suficiente como para escuchar todas las críticas que quisieras.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;By now, maybe you are wondering what makes Animation Mentor a great school. Why is it so popular? Why is it so expensive? So far, all I have shown to you have been some exercises I could have done in any other school, much cheaper, or even on my own, and any teacher could make some corrections on it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Animation Mentor has several strong points. First, the teachers, called mentors, are great animators that have worked in the main film and animation studios in the world. At this moment, the school has 77 mentors, and also some other animator that, without commitment, come and visit our workspaces and leave comments for us to help with their critiques or take part in the forums.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But the strongest point of the school is not that, not even that your mentor reviews your exercise making detailed comments to help you understand where your mistake is. Not even the forums, where you can ask whatever you want about animation being aware that your question will be answered.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Not even that you meet people from all over the world, animators, and you work together to learn more and improve the quality of your work every week .&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The strongest point of the school is that each one of the 77 mentors has between 10 and 16 students, more or less, those students make an exercise every week, their mentors record the review in video &lt;a href="http://www.animationmentor.com/11secondclub/mentorcritique.html"&gt;like this&lt;/a&gt; and you, as a student, can access ALL the videos and learn from ALL the critiques, no matter what class they are from. Class 1 is the first term (basics) and there are 14 mentors. Imagine how much you can learn by listening a minimum of 140 critiques of different exercises, poses and mistakes. But in class 2, where they are already animating the whole body (with no facial animation yet), there are the same number of mentors and you could listen to other 150 critiques by great animators to students. And in class 6, where they are animating acting (dialog and emotions), they also have their weekly assignment, so you, even when you are struggling with the weight on Stu's hips in your first poses, can bit by bit be learning more and more about animation, hearing things like "add more overlap here", and realise that the animation principles are everywhere and they are applicable to every level in animation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That is, for me, what makes Animation Mentor different. And the only problem Animation Mentor has is that you will never find time enough to listen to all the critiques you would like to listen to.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-7397096143033435906?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/7397096143033435906/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=7397096143033435906' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/7397096143033435906'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/7397096143033435906'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2009/12/animation-mentor-is-different.html' title='Animation Mentor is different'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-3467555274015501317</id><published>2009-12-08T13:42:00.007+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-08T20:11:33.333+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videojuegos'/><title type='text'>Ninja Fever saca su primer juego a la venta - Ninja Fever has its first game for sale</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Creo que estos chicos, que han sido lo suficientemente valientes como para abrir &lt;a href="http://www.ninjafever.com/"&gt;una pequeña empresa de videojuegos&lt;/a&gt; en plena crisis, se merecen un pequeño post para felicitarles por su primer juego a la venta para XBox: &lt;a href="http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/games/media/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8025855039d"&gt;Dual Zone&lt;/a&gt;.

Por lo demás, me dijo que puedo exagerar más algunas cosas, pero eso ya lo pondré en práctica en el ejercicio de esta semana, que es un ciclo de andar más complicado: ha de reflejar un estado de ánimo o la personalidad del que camina, o ambos. Lo veréis por aquí pronto. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Regarding the walk cycle I did last week, my mentor liked it a lot, but she said that the hips were rotating in the opposite direction to what would be logical in Z axis (side to side). She also said that I could have exaggerated some things, but I will  do that in this week exercise, which is a more complicated walk cycle: we have to show the mood and/or the personality in the way the character walks.

Por otra parte, tuvimos que hacer un circuito con una pelota, practicando por primera vez en el curso el principio de squash and stretch, que consiste en encoger la pelota cuando golpea contra algo para dar mayor impresión de impacto, y en estirarla cuando coge velocidad para dar mayor sensación de velocidad. Son recursos muy usados en animación, aunque recomiendan no abusar demasiado y usarlos con precaución, sobre todo en animación realista.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí está la animación:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;During the 5th week in Animation Mentor we had to make a new Stu pose that expressed devastation, I mean, great sadness. On the other hand, we needed to do an obstacle course with a ball, practising for the first time squash and stretch, that consists of squashing the ball when it hits something to create a bigger impression on the impact, and of stretching it when it goes fast to increase the sensation of speed. It is a very common tool in animation, but it is recommended to use it in moderation, especially in realistic animation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here is the animation:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object width="480" height="360" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-74910eacf73fa5ab" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v21.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D74910eacf73fa5ab%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D78C87F054FE0F1A6DA290E6B91D1A235F1F5EDC6.7218F47E1E69DB89B579439E09DFCCB383B722DD%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D74910eacf73fa5ab%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dh0HY9KEWdyzPKEN39OWGkGFW9CE&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="480" height="360" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v21.nonxt6.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D74910eacf73fa5ab%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D78C87F054FE0F1A6DA290E6B91D1A235F1F5EDC6.7218F47E1E69DB89B579439E09DFCCB383B722DD%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D74910eacf73fa5ab%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dh0HY9KEWdyzPKEN39OWGkGFW9CE&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;A mi mentora no le gustó demasiado, porque se suponía que la pelota tenía que comportarse como un balón de fútbol y la mía se comporta más bien como una pelota pequeña.

En esta nueva actividad, comparamos cómo se mueve una bola ligera y una bola pesada, en mi caso una bola de playa de estas que no pesan nada y una bola de bolos. Es muy interesante intentar averiguar cómo funciona el timing para cada una de ellas: los botes de la pelota pesada son muy rápidos mientras que los de la ligera son leeentos (esto significa que tienen timing diferente), y la distancia entre los "dibujos" (o frames) de la ligera es casi siempre la misma con pequeñas variaciones, mientras que para la pesada la diferencia es considerable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Aquí os pongo mi planificación:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;The fourth week in Animation Mentor we had to go deeper into timing and spacing, which we had already studied when we did the bouncing ball. In this new assignment, we compared how a light ball and a heavy one move, in my case a beach ball and a bowling ball. It is very interesting try to figure out how timing works for both of them: the bounces of the heavy ball are very fast while the bounces of the light ball are slooow (which means they have different timing), and the distance between "drawings" (or frames) in the light one is very even, while for the heavy one is quite big.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Here is my planning:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/Swshxtnzq0I/AAAAAAAAAEI/jgAPbkgafIE/s1600/planning.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 306px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/Swshxtnzq0I/AAAAAAAAAEI/jgAPbkgafIE/s320/planning.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5407452915532278594" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y aquí mi animación:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;And here is my animation:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-630cbe88860dce02" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v2.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D630cbe88860dce02%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D436D471D8DE5B774F82E0FDBDBD654AE16D89017.51971EF502AAD21E6246345674CA0B0FA2513A3%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D630cbe88860dce02%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dg6OGR6Z6A7O7Vo2WITzgDG0ILr4&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v2.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D630cbe88860dce02%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D436D471D8DE5B774F82E0FDBDBD654AE16D89017.51971EF502AAD21E6246345674CA0B0FA2513A3%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D630cbe88860dce02%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3Dg6OGR6Z6A7O7Vo2WITzgDG0ILr4&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Y aquí la revisión que hice cuando mi mentora, Ruth Daly, me dijo que la pelota ligera se veía aún muy pesada al final de cada bote.

Supongo que un término medio estaría mejor, pero bueno, seguiremos trabajando. Al menos sí que ahora parece más ligera, ¿o no? :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Por cierto, no os cortéis de comentar y criticar lo que queráis. Es posible que no sepáis de animación (o sí), pero de pelotas que botan sabéis lo mismo que yo, y eso es lo que cuenta. El sólo hecho de decir: "yo esa pelota no me la creo" es probablemente una de las mejores críticas que se pueden recibir. Así que ánimo con vuestras aportaciones y a ver si aprendo algo nuevo gracias a vosotros también. ;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;The revision doesn´t look very convincing to me either, now I see the light ball tooooo light. I guess something inbetween the original and the revision would be better, so we will keep on working. At least, now it looks lighter, doesn´t it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);"&gt;By the way, do not hesitate to comment and critique as much as you like. It is possible that you don´t know anything about animation (or maybe yes), but about bouncing balls you know the same as me, and that is the main thing. The comment: "That movement is not believable" is probably one of the best critiques I as an animator can receive. So feel free to comment and let's see if I learn something new with you. ;)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-1892269782237615432?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/1892269782237615432/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=1892269782237615432' title='2 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/1892269782237615432'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/1892269782237615432'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2009/11/animation-mentor-week-4.html' title='Animation Mentor: week 4'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/Swshxtnzq0I/AAAAAAAAAEI/jgAPbkgafIE/s72-c/planning.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-7371862527558654958</id><published>2009-11-21T23:42:00.009+01:00</published><updated>2009-12-01T14:03:57.647+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='planning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='basics'/><title type='text'>La importancia de planificar - The importance of planning</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;¿Por qué es importante planificar la animación antes de comenzarla? Porque evita muchos problemas posteriores. ¿Alguna vez habéis empezado a cocinar algo sin comprobar si teníais todos los ingredientes y al cabo de un rato os habéis dado cuenta de que necesitáis uno esencial que no tenéis? Entonces tenéis dos opciones: salir corriendo a comprarlo o preparar otra comida. Pues con la animación es parecido. Si no sabes de antemano de qué ingredientes va a constar y cómo hay que mezclar esos ingredientes, en su justa medida y en su preciso momento... tendrás problemas. Con la práctica, muchos animadores son capaces de empezar a animar directamente, sobre todo cuando tienen fecha de entrega y les pueden las prisas. Pero es una mala práctica. En animaciones mínimamente complicadas, planificar te puede ahorrar muchísimo tiempo. Yo tengo sólo unos pocos meses de práctica en el mundo de la animación, pero ya he podido comprobarlo sobradamente. Así que:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¡PLANIFICAD VUESTRAS ANIMACIONES!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;Why is planning the animation so important? Because it avoids lots of problems. Have you ever started cooking something without being sure that you had all the ingredients and after a while you discover that you need an essencial one you don´t have? Then you have two options: run and buy it or make another meal. Well, with animation something similar happens. If you don´t know in advanced what ingredients you need, how to mix them, when and how much... you are in trouble. With practise, many animators can start animating directly, especially when they have to meet a deadline and they are in a hurry. But it is a bad practise. I&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;n animations that are a bit more complicated&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;, planning can save you lots of time. I have only some months of experience in this industry, but I have already realised that too well. So:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PLAN YOUR ANIMATIONS!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-7371862527558654958?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/7371862527558654958/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=7371862527558654958' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/7371862527558654958'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/7371862527558654958'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2009/11/la-importancia-de-planificar.html' title='La importancia de planificar - The importance of planning'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-7131993832238137575</id><published>2009-11-21T23:11:00.006+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-24T01:19:59.084+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='class_1'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='3d'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='planning'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='balls'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='basics'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animation mentor'/><title type='text'>Animation Mentor: week 3</title><content type='html'>En la segunda semana de Animation Mentor ya empezamos a animar.

First the planning:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwhqG4yyxrI/AAAAAAAAAEA/-Y3XMFE-XWo/s1600/bouncing_ball.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 147px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwhqG4yyxrI/AAAAAAAAAEA/-Y3XMFE-XWo/s320/bouncing_ball.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406688019215468210" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y luego la animación:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;And then the animation:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-21347a95a38ed51c" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v9.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D21347a95a38ed51c%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D7C0BB84BE621020DEA13ED1B0221A1F0D0B49585.55F9F770826B66E61E902DDFAE6364FC092AA0C5%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D21347a95a38ed51c%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DJuiW3A7da6iVV2WxDSUm1qfsbR8&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v9.nonxt2.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D21347a95a38ed51c%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D7C0BB84BE621020DEA13ED1B0221A1F0D0B49585.55F9F770826B66E61E902DDFAE6364FC092AA0C5%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D21347a95a38ed51c%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DJuiW3A7da6iVV2WxDSUm1qfsbR8&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;La pelota botando es una práctica básica y estupenda para aprender a medir el tiempo en animación (se le llama timing): ¿cuánto tiempo pasa entre botes? ¿Tardan todos los botes lo mismo? ¿De qué forma pierde energía la pelota? ¿ Cuántos botes da antes de detenerse?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Y también para aprender a distribuir el espacio (spacing) que hay entre los "dibujos" para hacer que la pelota vaya más rápida o más lenta, dependiendo de si está subiendo, bajando o está en la cresta del bote.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Como estas son las principales características de una animación, en ellas nos centramos en nuestra primera animación del curso.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;También tuvimos que hacer una pose de nuestro amigo Stu. Pero es una de las que puse en el post anterior, así que os dejo que intentéis adivinar cuál.  Una pista: teníamos que expresar entusiasmo. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;The bouncing ball is a basic and great exercise to learn how to measure the timing in animation: how long does it take to go from one contact position to another? Does it take the same length for every bounce? How does the ball loose energy? How many bounces does the ball do before stopping?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And also to learn the spacing between "drawings" to make the ball speed up or slow down, depending of if it is going up, down or at the top of the bounce.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As these two are the main characteristics in an animation, we focused on them in this our first animation of the course.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;We also had to do another pose for our friend Stu. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;But it is one of the ones I showed in the previous post, so I will let you guess which one. A clue: we had to express excitement. :D&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-7131993832238137575?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/7131993832238137575/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=7131993832238137575' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/7131993832238137575'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/7131993832238137575'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2009/11/animation-mentor-week-2.html' title='Animation Mentor: week 3'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwhqG4yyxrI/AAAAAAAAAEA/-Y3XMFE-XWo/s72-c/bouncing_ball.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-9084331740152169308</id><published>2009-11-16T00:23:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-16T00:36:58.306+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='personal'/><title type='text'>¡Feliz cumpleaños, guapetonet!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Hoy es un gran día: ¡Emilio cumple añitos! :D 28, uf, qué caña, dentro de poco ya me pasas...

Sin embargo, nuestra primera tarea no es animación. Nuestra primera tarea es esta:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span&gt;Animation Mentor is an animation course. However, our first assignment is not animation. Our first assignment is this:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwAz4fFvcQI/AAAAAAAAADA/DV1H9GE7e7s/s1600-h/stu_pose1.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 149px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwAz4fFvcQI/AAAAAAAAADA/DV1H9GE7e7s/s320/stu_pose1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404376598355865858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwAz4g9gtdI/AAAAAAAAADI/uKSUaDHc0EU/s1600-h/poses_last.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 197px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwAz4g9gtdI/AAAAAAAAADI/uKSUaDHc0EU/s320/poses_last.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404376598858216914" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nuestro primer personaje se llama Stu y es el que podéis ver en las imágenes. La primera tarea consiste en crear poses con él. Las de la imagen superior eran poses casuales, de un día en el parque; las de la segunda imagen, son poses de alegría y entusiasmo. Para ello, tenemos que hacer (y mostrar) bocetos como estos. Perdón por la calidad de las imágenes, no tengo escáner y tengo que vérmelas con la cámara del móvil:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span&gt;Our first character is called Stu and he is the one you can see in the images above. The first assignment is about creating poses for him. The poses in the first image were casual poses, people sitting in the park or similar; in the second image you can find excitement poses. To do them, we need to do (and show) several sketches like these ones below. Sorry about the quality of the images, I don´t have a scanner and I have to deal with my mobile phone camera:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwA2gB0mAcI/AAAAAAAAADQ/Ld_rNuP0lyY/s1600-h/poses.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 246px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwA2gB0mAcI/AAAAAAAAADQ/Ld_rNuP0lyY/s320/poses.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404379476717339074" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwA2gQxOPfI/AAAAAAAAADY/BnIGxfOCZRs/s1600-h/excitement.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 266px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwA2gQxOPfI/AAAAAAAAADY/BnIGxfOCZRs/s320/excitement.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5404379480729730546" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;¿Por qué hacer poses? Porque nosotros, como animadores, hemos de ser creadores de emociones. Hemos de lograr expresar emociones con el cuerpo. Por eso es tan importante que Stu no tenga rasgos faciales. Cuando no entendemos el lenguaje del cuerpo tendemos a apoyarnos mucho en la expresión de la cara para entender cómo se siente una persona. Ahora estamos aprendiendo también a interpretar la posición del cuerpo: si el personaje está muy contento, casi todo el cuerpo estará tenso; si está muy triste, casi todo el cuerpo estará relajado... Cosas así. Nos inducen a exagerar mucho las poses, no tanto para animar en plan cartoon como para entender hasta dónde podemos llegar con ellas. Y es que animar se trata de transmitir emociones al espectador, hacer que sienta lo que siente el personaje. Para ello la pose ha de ser clara, legible y atractiva... Cosas no siempre fáciles de conseguir.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 153);font-size:85%;" &gt;&lt;span&gt;Why poses? Because we, as animators, have to create emotions. We have to express the emotions with the whole body. That is why it is so important that Stu doesn´t have any facial features. When we don´t understand body language, we tend to lean on the facial expression to understand what a person is feeling. Now we are learning as well how to read the body pose: if the character is very excited, the whole body will be tense; if he is devastated, the whole body will be relaxed... Things like that. They lead us to exaggerate the poses, not for us to animate cartoon, but to understand how much we can push them. Animation is about conveying emotions to the audience, make him feel what the character is feeling. To get that, the pose needs to be clear, readable and appealing... Things not always easy to achieve.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-6897807109975884491?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/6897807109975884491/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=6897807109975884491' title='3 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/6897807109975884491'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/6897807109975884491'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2009/11/animation-mentor-poses.html' title='Animation Mentor: Poses'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SwAz4fFvcQI/AAAAAAAAADA/DV1H9GE7e7s/s72-c/stu_pose1.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-6896134791391640734</id><published>2009-11-15T17:49:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T20:49:48.138+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='enslaved'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ninja theory'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='videojuegos'/><title type='text'>Enslaved</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Os presento el juego en el que estoy colaborando.

Se trata de la aventura de acción Enslaved, que saldrá a la venta en 2010 para PS3 y Xbox 360.

En este entorno, los protagonistas Monkey, un hombre fuerte y solitario, y Trip, una joven experta en tecnología pero de procedencia pacífica, acabarán encerrados en una nave de esclavos. Trip se da cuenta de que Monkey es su única esperanza de escapar, y por eso hackea una cinta de esclavos para quedar unidos. Así, el jugador deberá aprovechar las habilidades de ambos para sobrevivir.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="javascript:imagenMML%20('cw4ac244ee663c5');"&gt;&lt;img link="true" alt="Enslaved (PlayStation 3)" src="http://www.meristation.com/EPORTAL_IMGS/GENERAL/juegos/PlayStation3-Accion/32/IMG-cw4ac244ee663c5/Enslaved-PS3Screenshots25841srcBest_040pe.jpg" wbid="cw4ac244ee663c5" border="0" height="214" width="380" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;El estudio Ninja Theory ha vuelto a recurrir al actor Andy Serkis, que ya participó en Heavenly Sword, y esta vez dará vida a Monkey.

It has not been easy. I paid in August and they didn´t receive my payment, so I waited until they asked me for my receipt. I sent it, but they didn´t find my money anyway. And finally, looking into my account again, I found out that the money was back into my account! But 162€ seemed to get lost during that period and I don´t think I will recover them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I don´t know if it is Animation Mentor's fault, because they changed the account number and they didn´t let me know about that change; maybe they told me and it was my fault because I didn´t find the information about the new account number anywhere; maybe it was the bank's fault, because as soon as they see some money passing by, they take some of it for themselves; maybe it is nobody's fault and it is only that the dollar costs more now. No idea. But I have lost a lot of money, and I am not happy with that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway. My boyfriend (thanks a lot, darling) made the transfer again (I couldn´t do it without the online banking that I still don´t have) and this time it worked! So I am going to start Animation Mentor. That MAKES me happy, so let's look at the brighter side of our lives. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-3884373506091837920?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/3884373506091837920/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=3884373506091837920' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/3884373506091837920'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/3884373506091837920'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2009/09/animation-mentor-is-about-to-start.html' title='Animation Mentor is about to start!'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-1969784774310563410</id><published>2009-09-20T01:06:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-09-20T01:34:50.120+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='illustrator'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='drawings'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2d'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketches'/><title type='text'>Life drawing classes</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;The other day I was told that there were life drawing classes not far from the company. Some colleagues were going to take them, so I immediately decided I would go as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I only took life drawing classes once in my life. It was for a period of 15 days in Gijón, in a summer course that I enjoyed a lot. In that case, the model was a quite handsome man who posed for us for one and a half hours every time. It must have been terrible for him to keep the same pose for such a long time (with little breaks inbetween).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This time the model was a young woman, quite thin and with very english facial features.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It is nice to go to life drawing classes. When you see the model naked, you don´t see a person naked; you see a potencial piece of art in your empty paper. It is a very nice feeling.  I don´t know about the rest of the people, but when I saw her, all I could see was light, shadows and shapes. The room was in complete silence while everybody was drawing her. The concentration was amazing, I loved that. You could hear the sound of pencil, the more agressive sound of charcoal, an esporadic rubber somewhere, a chair changing place to get a better point of view... I loved those little sounds. I loved silence. I loved the concentration. It was like being for two hours in another world. The cost of this trip was 5 pounds.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In this occasion, the poses changed. At the beginning, they changed every three minutes. There was a man there, drawing as well, who told the woman "ok, it is fine" when the time had past. Probably it was this man who decided to practise life drawing  and decided to let other people participate to help with the payment due to the model. That is not a bad idea at all.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As I said, the poses changed every three minutes at the beginning, every ten or so later, and the final pose lasted for twenty minutes. So you could practise everything: with the shortest ones, capturing the pose and line of action; with the longest, pose, light and shadows and even the relationship with the environment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I would upload the drawings I did, but I don´t have any scanner. So that will be another time.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bad news is that these classes will last only for another week more. Then, they will be interrupted because they have to look for another place: the big room they were using is going to be engaged for something else. What a pity!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-1969784774310563410?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/1969784774310563410/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=1969784774310563410' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/1969784774310563410'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/1969784774310563410'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2009/09/life-drawing-classes.html' title='Life drawing classes'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-4257693433806339795</id><published>2009-08-14T20:02:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2009-11-15T20:50:19.781+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='ninja theory'/><title type='text'>Ninja Theory!</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;As unexpected as could be... There was an offer at Ninja Theory (Cambridge) for some intership positions. A friend told me about that, and I didn´t hesitate to apply, even when I didn´t know anything about that company. I didn´t know that it is one of the main ones all over the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It was a surprise -a very pleasant one- to be selected for the interview. This interview took place at home, through Skype, and there were three people at the other side: the lead animator, the principal animator and the assistant producer. The interview went well, but I didn´t feel that I was especial enough to be chosen.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But I was! Today I was called and a nice girl told me that I am suppose to start the 1st of september. This is a great opportunity for me!

This company has an awesome portfolio, and I thought they wouldn´t want me because I am only a junior animator, with so many things to learn and very little experience. But I had to try, because the company is very near from where I currently live. So I sent my CV.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I was right. They where very kind, but they rejected my application. I was not good enough yet. They say I have talent, and I think they are really nice to say that. Nobody forces them to say that, so it must mean that it is true... I guess. It is inevitable to feel a bit sorry for myself, but do not worry, I will keep on trying. Not only this company, of course, but other ones. My reel needs improving, and I have to manage to get better quality in as little time as possible. It is hard if nobody teaches me, but I will do my best.

I really enjoyed working there, my fellows were so funny and so professional at the same time! I learnt a lot, laughed a lot and worked a lot. When you work in videogames, it seems that you are always in a hurry. There were deadlines  almost every week, so we had to finish our tasks in very little time. I managed to play my role (even when I was the newest) and they were happy with my work. Unfortunately, the project I was working in was cancelled, so now I am getting my demoreel ready to look for another job as an animator.

That´s the point of this all. :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am getting there! :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-5f697f1417515359" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v1.nonxt1.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D5f697f1417515359%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6FCFD5F69408C1B92C9AA86A97BEA625444B74FC.7A3C8852B35BC8BCB3697CED7C98EB017210DC99%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D5f697f1417515359%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DUgc3Ch5CleUg5Hr2bWSnahPrZkA&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v1.nonxt1.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D5f697f1417515359%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D6FCFD5F69408C1B92C9AA86A97BEA625444B74FC.7A3C8852B35BC8BCB3697CED7C98EB017210DC99%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D5f697f1417515359%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DUgc3Ch5CleUg5Hr2bWSnahPrZkA&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-1006768290791676829?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=5f697f1417515359&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/1006768290791676829/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=1006768290791676829' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/1006768290791676829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/1006768290791676829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2008/06/trying-to-get-correct-timing.html' title='Trying to get the correct timing'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-5495329264292315048</id><published>2008-05-30T01:18:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-30T01:27:03.276+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2d'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='balls'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='basics'/><title type='text'>More bouncing balls</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;When you are animating a bouncing ball, it seems that the only principle you are dealing with is "Squash and Stretch". It is the most obvious, isn´t it? However, as far as I know, you are dealing with:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;- Timing, the most important principle for me. Very hard to be good at timing. With balls you are practising it aaaall the time.&lt;br /&gt;- Spacing. It´s not a principle itself (although it is similar to easy in and easy out), but it is the second most important thing in animation. Animating bouncing balls you can see clearly how the spacing works.&lt;br /&gt;- Exageration. Do the balls deform like that in reality?&lt;br /&gt;- Anticipation. Not in purpose, but you are doing it. You can see that the ball squashes before going again into the air. Well, that is not really anticipation, but can be useful to understand it, because the effect is quite similar.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I cannot thing of anything else, unless until the ball has its own tail. Coming soon. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kisses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object width="320" height="266" class="BLOG_video_class" id="BLOG_video-510a1e640e98eccd" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/get_player"&gt;&lt;param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"&gt;&lt;param name="allowfullscreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="flashvars" value="flvurl=http://v9.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D510a1e640e98eccd%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D785A9DB911A687C5B84FDC83A2B2776BBD03422E.DCFA86DD12FB6D382C68E2EECAF2DE34EF9D682%26key%3Dck1&amp;amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D510a1e640e98eccd%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DEnc6Qgbr0ujGH1W-4UqEKPm6HEo&amp;amp;autoplay=0&amp;amp;ps=blogger"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/get_player" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"width="320" height="266" bgcolor="#FFFFFF"flashvars="flvurl=http://v9.nonxt4.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id%3D510a1e640e98eccd%26itag%3D5%26app%3Dblogger%26ip%3D0.0.0.0%26ipbits%3D0%26expire%3D1330249824%26sparams%3Did,itag,ip,ipbits,expire%26signature%3D785A9DB911A687C5B84FDC83A2B2776BBD03422E.DCFA86DD12FB6D382C68E2EECAF2DE34EF9D682%26key%3Dck1&amp;iurl=http://video.google.com/ThumbnailServer2?app%3Dblogger%26contentid%3D510a1e640e98eccd%26offsetms%3D5000%26itag%3Dw160%26sigh%3DEnc6Qgbr0ujGH1W-4UqEKPm6HEo&amp;autoplay=0&amp;ps=blogger"allowFullScreen="true" /&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-5495329264292315048?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='enclosure' type='video/mp4' href='http://www.blogger.com/video-play.mp4?contentId=510a1e640e98eccd&amp;type=video%2Fmp4' length='0'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/5495329264292315048/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=5495329264292315048' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/5495329264292315048'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/5495329264292315048'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2008/05/more-bouncing-balls.html' title='More bouncing balls'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-8055656587299033041</id><published>2008-05-30T00:24:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-12-11T07:34:23.496+01:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='3d'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='modeling'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='lightwave'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='organic'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='blender'/><title type='text'>A head in Lightwave</title><content type='html'>Following a videotutorial this is what I could achieve:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SD8tYXOxSfI/AAAAAAAAAAU/0qmLEHElytQ/s1600-h/cabeza.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SD8tYXOxSfI/AAAAAAAAAAU/0qmLEHElytQ/s320/cabeza.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205929590839658994" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SD8tYnOxSgI/AAAAAAAAAAc/7SQbZTTbb_g/s1600-h/cabezaperfil.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SD8tYnOxSgI/AAAAAAAAAAc/7SQbZTTbb_g/s320/cabezaperfil.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5205929595134626306" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;Lightwave is quite comfortable to model with. But I have no idea how to model yet. This head doesn´t mean anything, because following a tutorial is very easy to do and you don´t really have to use your brains at all. So, please, no compliments. Thanks. :D&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The next step I suppose it is texturize it. No tutorial this time! What to do? Well, I was told that to add textures to Lightwave models it is much better to go to Blender. This program is for free, and it is said that it works really well, especially for texturing and animation. I have been having a look at it for a couple of days, just getting used to the interface, but I still don´t know what to do. Maybe I should insist with Lightwave until I know how to deal with it in every aspect? Or should I go directly to other program that someone else said it was better?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, I will tell you what I decide. It is probable that I try to learn a bit of Blender, because if I want to focus on animation, and Blender is better for that, the logic solution should be that.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, let´s see.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-8055656587299033041?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/8055656587299033041/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=8055656587299033041' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/8055656587299033041'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/8055656587299033041'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2008/05/head-in-lightwave.html' title='A head in Lightwave'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://4.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SD8tYXOxSfI/AAAAAAAAAAU/0qmLEHElytQ/s72-c/cabeza.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-6106002044175769048</id><published>2008-05-26T15:58:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-26T16:01:53.955+02:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='walks'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='animation'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='2d'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='flash'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='basics'/><title type='text'>Walks</title><content type='html'>Another important thing to learn animation is to practise walks of all kinds.

I have even tried to do it while I am watching TV, but I confess that it is impossible for me. I get absorbed by whatever I am watching and completely forget about the pad and the pencil. That´s bad. :S&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The ideal is to draw from life, but I find it really anoying, because I am very shy and hate people looking at me, and I am even afraid that they get upset or something because I am drawing them. So, to keep practising fast drawings, I use &lt;a href="http://www.posemaniacs.com/pose/thirtysecond.html"&gt;Posemaniacs&lt;/a&gt;, a really great page to train the right side of your brain. However, I will keep on trying to draw from life, because animation is life and the only way to learn it is to observe real people, animals and whatever.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, here are some thirty-second drawings, done this last two days. They are suppose to help! Next to them, The Animator's Survival Kit, one of the greatest books about animation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SDiZ9nOxSeI/AAAAAAAAAAM/HeCdGfnfqME/s1600-h/poses.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SDiZ9nOxSeI/AAAAAAAAAAM/HeCdGfnfqME/s320/poses.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204078653208611298" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-8412321514912968212?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/8412321514912968212/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=8412321514912968212' title='0 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/8412321514912968212'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/8412321514912968212'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2008/05/draw-draw-draw.html' title='Draw, draw, draw'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/SDiZ9nOxSeI/AAAAAAAAAAM/HeCdGfnfqME/s72-c/poses.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841193583626179805.post-8555958320972683267</id><published>2008-05-23T20:43:00.000+02:00</published><updated>2008-05-23T20:56:34.025+02:00</updated><title type='text'>In pursuit of a dream</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I am pursuing a dream. That´s why this blog is called like that. Well, actually, a couple of dreams. One of them is being able to speak English properly. You will see very soon that my English is not great, but this blog has been thought to help me with that. And the second dream is my DREAM, that is to become an animator.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: justify;"&gt;I really don´t know anything about animation. I don´t have experience and sometimes I think that I don´t have the talent or the spirit of sacrifice. But I have to try and discover it for myself. And that is the reason for this blog to exist.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am in London at the moment, working for a production company, and I am starting with animation, bit by bit. There is no other way to learn but bit by bit. I am working with Lightwave, but I also love drawing, so I try to combine and practise both of them. That is why in this blog you will see not only animation, but drawings and 3D models and whatever is related with art and animation.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;This blog is mainly for myself, to keep me focused on my goal. I hope it will have a long life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The only thing that I know by now is that I am very keen to do animation. Let´s see if it is enough.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let´s pursue a dream.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8841193583626179805-8555958320972683267?l=inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/feeds/8555958320972683267/comments/default' title='Enviar comentarios'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8841193583626179805&amp;postID=8555958320972683267' title='3 comentarios'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/8555958320972683267'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8841193583626179805/posts/default/8555958320972683267'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inpursuitofadream.blogspot.com/2008/05/in-pursuit-of-dream.html' title='In pursuit of a dream'/><author><name>Marta</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/09037457901093376654</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/__zbtIl9pKbA/S3mEb9m7dMI/AAAAAAAAAG4/gtICiPgI25s/S220/avatar.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry></feed>
