First Week...

Today marked the end of the first week at Reel FX as an Apprentice.

Its been an exciting and fun week. Things fell into place really quickly, and I was TOTALLY LUCKY to find another apprentice to roommate with. I literally live RIGHT NEXT door to the Studio, a grand total of a 5 minute walk! It's so awesome. Little pricey for the area, to live right next door. But worth it in my opinion.

Everyone has been extremely nice and helpful!! Texas folks are awesome like that. The weather has been nice...and hey I'm learning TONS! It's pretty incredible so far.

My first assignment has been given to me which is a walk, run and skip cycle of a character in Open Season 2. I am REALLY excited about it actually...yes even for a walk cycle! There are some really great animators here to learn from, and EVERYBODY is very approachable and willing to impart knowledge.

Till next time...Finally, Twisted Root burgers rule!
