So in the Animation Program at BYU there's a class for sophomores to take called "The Illusion of Life". It basically allows for exploration into any four of eight or so different fields of animation while keeping a single story/set of characters in mind. It's pretty awesome, but WAY intense-- at least 20 pages of research and reference are expected for any assignment. It's great though because it really helps to get you in the mindset that the pros are in-- always learning, always exploring.So here is my character line-up:
Some storyboards from the story:
I got to explore anatomy for one of my characters and for a horse. Here are a couple of images from that assignment:
And here is the pencil test featuring Joss, the main character of the story:

I had seen everything except your finalized animation. Really great work! There's some great character coming through her movements and facial expressions!
spectacular stuff aaron! really diggin all of it
( i have a soft spot especially for the 2d animation as Ive always wanted to learn how to do it )
This is looking great Ludwig! I recognize the quote from for your animation fro 'Benny and June.' Good flick, and your animation is terrific!
It took me a bit, but that's totally Benny and Joon. Nice choice.
This is very cool! I like all of it!
Love the animation, Aaron!
Great job Aaron! That animation is super fun. I'munna sit next to you in the next to you in the next 2D class we have!
Looks really great!Seems like a super time consuming class.. Thats gonna be hard to balance along with our senior film starting!!!!!
What a great semester's worth of work, Aaron.
Very nice animation, by the by (it's the first time I've seen it not while standing over your shoulder as you flipped it).

Very interesting. Looks like Cynthia has a very creative way of teaching the class.
Looks like a intriguing story, and the animation is dynamite I want to hold on to!
