<span style="font-size: x-small;">(That must be like 90 in blog-years, because it feels like you're slowly dying...)</span><br />
<br />
So if you haven't already, you should check out <a href="http://www.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">tumblr</a>. It's brimming with amazing art and animation, especially gifs. It feels like a new frontier for animation, in a way. <a href="http://aarnimation.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">I'm posting more often there these days</a>, and a <a href="http://jakewyattriot.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">lot </a><a href="http://sam-bragg.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">of </a><a href="http://anthonyholden.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">my </a><a href="http://scott-gwynn.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">friends</a> <a href="http://jeffisnotart.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">are</a> <a href="http://jasonkimart.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">too</a>.<br />
<br />
Anyways, thanks to tumblr, I've hopped on the GIF Train somewhat. Here's a sampling: a couple of Nintendo fanboy doodles that move.<br />
<br />
Hope you like.<br />

Our senior class film, "Estefan," was a TON of fun to work on. I was lucky enough to be Animation Lead on it, and as a character animator I couldn't have asked for a better film to work on. Tons of fun, great story and <i>great </i>characters. Thanks to <a href="http://loppenlander.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lauren Oppenlander</a> (the creator of Estefan), <a href="http://jeffisnotart.tumblr.com/" target="_blank">Jeff Call</a> (the director), <a href="http://laurenetay.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Lauren Taylor</a> (the producer), <a href="http://scott-gwynn.tumblr.com" target="_blank">Scott Gwynn</a> (the art director), and the awesome faculty at <a href="http://animation.byu.edu/frontpage" target="_blank">BYU's Center for Animation</a> for the opportunity.<br />
<br />
Last year, right after we finished, we submitted it to SIGGRAPH, and lo and behold, <a href="http://www.animationmagazine.net/events/siggraph-unveils-computer-animation-festival-winners/" target="_blank">we won the prize for Best Student Project</a>!
Also, this past week, we found out that <a href="http://news.byu.edu/archive13-apr-estefan.aspx" target="_blank">we took first place at the College Television Awards, for BYU's 12th Student Emmy!</a>
Congrats to everyone on the crew. I'm super proud of this film.<br />
<br />
I thought I'd take this chance to post two of my favorite shots from the film. As animation lead, most of my time was spent managing workload and deadlines for the rest of the animation team, and finishing up shots that were falling through the cracks. But I was lucky enough to get to animate two key shots from the film, and I'm pretty happy with how they turned out.<br />
<br />
This first shot was a ton of fun to do. It wasn't storyboarded this way (it was much simpler, just him looking at her head then looking up), but Jeff and the Laurens thought we could have more of a character moment here, so they left it to me to figure out.<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="287" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/44455140?byline=0&portrait=0&color=ff9933" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="574"></iframe><br />
After a while I realized that since Estefan can do anything, I'd try thumbnailing the wildest poses of him examining her head and trying to come to grips with her baldness (and come up with an idea of how to do her "hair"). The shot ended up being about 17 seconds longer than originally intended, but I'm happy to say that everyone loved the new story beat, and it made the cut.
<br />
<br />
<br />
This other shot was the first one animated on the film. It was a big challenge staging-wise, as we wanted to keep him in that bottom corner but still help him feel tense--tough to do when his shoulders aren't even really on screen.
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="316" mozallowfullscreen="" src="http://player.vimeo.com/video/44455141?byline=0&portrait=0&color=ff9933" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="574"></iframe><br />
Also that final pose took a lot of work (and tons of iterations with Jeff's feedback) but I'm really pleased with the end result--the original boards had his back arched the other way, but in animation it didn't feel big enough and was really tough to pose given the lack of room. But once I tried having him turn around, everything kind of opened up. (Props to Josh Whiting, who did the awesome dynamics on the jenga blocks.)<br />
<br />

EVERYTHING. For better and for worse.<br />
<br />
One example: before we had kids, when we went to church, it usually went like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3IBHwuCm6xPfwwghAdPSsAwXdrxmeArVrNHKOBrc6GT637r6UKlgFnR1ikLOgZAvgVyLU4uHaRKvVNWsMvQrEPUrbWCAS3LZR_3zGWhNjEZF9aq7BscHxXi9VghQeEnvj_LoQbGYI5s/s1600/Churchpost0004.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhw3IBHwuCm6xPfwwghAdPSsAwXdrxmeArVrNHKOBrc6GT637r6UKlgFnR1ikLOgZAvgVyLU4uHaRKvVNWsMvQrEPUrbWCAS3LZR_3zGWhNjEZF9aq7BscHxXi9VghQeEnvj_LoQbGYI5s/s1600/Churchpost0004.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Ahhh. A day of rest!</span></div>
<br />
<div>
Now it feels a little more like this:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIGaiorWSKigjaJTpoMwV3ngCPjPi6fGMAZ-_KAUIW8Hk1NpyOyfmgzfbwzhm-qFLFMzyE9CimQD9weCU1dH0HXWLbHBT9jcSFMHCU-_G44ZPY-pnVrHwuA_044K1ztRilQgJ-0tGoxs4/s1600/Churchpost0005.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIGaiorWSKigjaJTpoMwV3ngCPjPi6fGMAZ-_KAUIW8Hk1NpyOyfmgzfbwzhm-qFLFMzyE9CimQD9weCU1dH0HXWLbHBT9jcSFMHCU-_G44ZPY-pnVrHwuA_044K1ztRilQgJ-0tGoxs4/s1600/Churchpost0005.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">And we only have two kids!!!</span></div>
<br />
<br /></div>
Church used to be about worship. Now it's all about SURVIVAL.<br />
We're hoping God gives bonus points if you and your family simply live through sacrament meeting.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
With this in mind, as we prepare for church we only have two goals now:</div>
<br />
<div>
1. Make sure your kids don't disturb the other members of the congregation so much that they get up and leave in a huff and never come back.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">This means bring snacks. LOTS of snacks.</span></div>
<br />
2. Make sure you don't leave a complete mess behind.</div>

One recent Sunday, in our efforts to accomplish #1 and 2 above, we decided to give our son a snack during Sunday School.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The chair next to us was open, so we set a pile of Cheerios™ on the seat and let him at it.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now, mind you, our son has shown a pretty impressive repertoire of motor skills and hand-eye coordination, so we figured he'd be perfectly capable of grasping a few pieces of said toasted oat cereal and delivering them successfully to his pie hole.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But he's a critical thinker, so he decided to skip an altogether unnecessary step:</div>

I have a lot of cartoony features (big nose, floppy ears, big bald head, beefy lips) so it's fun to see which ones an artist will pick up on and exaggerate.<br />
<br />
So without further ado, here are a few more draw-rings of me! Enjoy.<br />
<br />
(Whoops-- here's some further ado: Draw Me! I'd love to see your take on this stout, bald animator. Send it in, and I'll put it up with a link to your blog or whatever. rabidmilkman(at)gmail(dot)com. Thanks!)<br />

Quick story-- back before I applied for BYU's Animation program, Jason and I shared a writing class, and I was so fascinated that he was in the animation program. I jokingly mentioned, "You should email me a list of 'Everything you need to know about succeeding as an animation student'." A few days later, I got an email from Jason with a huge list of things to work on and think about and study in order to succeed as an animation student. See? I told you-- super-nice.<br />

(It works even better if it's a picture of <i>them</i> that you give.)<br />
<br />
So, happy birthday, oh small, winged niece of mine. As always, watch out for birds of prey and bug-zappers.<br />

It's fun to see someone else capture little features or expressions of mine that I know so well. It's a blast getting a glimpse of how other people see me.<br />
<br />
Recently at work they started a "Caricature Door" where everyone on the animation team posts all the drawings they've done of each other (but had previously kept hidden). It turns out I'm one of the more popular subjects. That means either I'm really fun to draw or really easy to draw (or both). Either way, I love it.<br />
<br />
<b>And I'd like to issue a challenge-- send me your drawings of me!</b> I'm sure any of you who know me have secret sketchings of me that are in some old sketchbook somewhere. Or even if you don't know me, whip up a sketch anyway and email them to me! I'm going to be keeping a page on this blog called "Draw Me!" where I document all such sketchbookery. Send them in! rabidmilkman(at)gmail(dot)com<br />
<br />
This might seem a little self-centered, but that's not the intent. I just laugh really hard when I see an awesome drawing of myself in all my stout-and-bald glory.<br />
<br />
So here are a few draw-rings of me from friends and co-workers.<br />
