Interview

Check out my latest online interview. It's featured on a site about women animators. We are few, but we are out there! Here's a little more about me for those interested. Rebecca's Interview

CGtarian is open for business!

I constantly get emails asking for advise about the animation industry and how to get in or what does it take to work at a big studio. The answer is: hard work and skill. Having said that, there are a few places I often recommend student go study. Well, here's the newest one! It's called CGtarian.com. I along with some really talented animation co-workers have created a curriculum for beginners - intermediate - and advanced students and professional animators.

My specific course is called "Characters in Motion: Intro to Body Mechanics" I encourage any students and/or professionals looking to polish their skills or get into the animation industry to sign up for a class. The best part about this site is that you can take any course you like at any time, there's no obligation. The courses range from very beginner like "Animation Bootcamp: Intro to Animation" to "Pushing the Limits: Cartoon Animation".

I highly recommend these courses if your interested in animation. The classes consist of a weekly tutorial/video accompanied by an assignment. These courses are all developed and taught by industry professionals. You can take any course for 12 weeks and then be done. Or continue by signing up for another topic interests you. There are no grades, just upfront and honest feedback and weekly critiques based on your assignment by a professional animator! It doesn't get any better than that!

Hang Gun!

Here's another test my David created. Pretty impressive since he just learned AfterFX.
Not to worry... I wasn't really hurt in the filming of this video. It was quite fun to act out!

Facebook King song and video!

I wanted to update everyone with the latest project I'm a part of. It's called Facebook King and it's a fun whimsical song based on that person we all know who lives on facebook. It's the creation of David Stodolny (of stodoestudios.com) and Reston Williams (of BlueMan Group). They've paired up to create this hilarious song and video. I've had the pleasure of co-Producing this fun project and am very proud of the end result. I look forward to many more productions together.

Please check out their new comedy production studio Secondary Inspection. If you love the video you also have the opportunity of downloading the song for your music collection on itunes or amazon! Check out their site for more info! Here's the video!

I am Art

For those interested in what's going on lately, here's the latest animation by David Stodolny. I was so excited to be a part of it by Producing it. By all means, David did ALL the hard work, I just helped schedule him out and plan the execution of it. It was a really fun project to work on. Check it out and please share with your friends!!

Lucasarts Closed.

A sad day in the industry.

This week an industry icon closed it's doors. Lucasarts is no more.

I have to say, I spent some of my most memorable years working at that studio. Even though I haven't worked there in close to 10 years, I feel as though it will always be a part of me in a special way. I made some of my best friends there. I miss you all. And I have no doubt you will all land on your feet.

Rest in Peace LucasArts. You will always be my first love.
