Animation Mentor – Term 5

The Advanced Acting term (Class 5) finished a few weeks ago and since then I’ve been taking a complete break from everything AM-related. I’ve reached a point now where spending  every available hour on AM has become a bit of a slog, rather than something fun and challenging. I’m getting kind of tired being stressed, working 7 days a week and paying for the privilege. As such, I’m taking another Leave of Absence (3 month break) and I’ll be trying to decide if I want to come back to do the final term.

I’ll be uploading and backdating my work from the last few weeks as soon as I remember where I put the the files ;)

Of course, the other reason I want to take a break is because I’ll be starting at Rockstar North next week! It seems foolish to spend the first 3 months of a new job, in a new city, being locked away in a new apartment when I should be out socialising, learning my way around, making friends and throwing my all into the new job!

I’ll do another post about the move up to Edinburgh, but for up-to-minute news you can just follow my Twitter feed or search for the hashtag #operationEdinburgh ;)

No, I’m not jacking in animation to become a traditional artist! I just thought it was about time I officially put up a link to my girlfriend’s new blog:

Marie is actually coming back from her 10 months in Florence, Italy rather soon, but doubtless it will continue to be updated as finishes new work, but it’s beautiful stuff — you should check it out!

EDGE cover and feature on PlayStation Move

A little late to the party I admit, but I’ve only just got hold of my post and this May copy of EDGE magazine. There’s a rather large feature on the upcoming PlayStation Move controller and games, and who should appear on page 68? Why, it’s none other than yours truly. Hello!

At last, my plan for world domination is finally in motion! Shame they didn’t think much of TV Superstars! 8)

Thanks to @MrTom for the heads-up all those weeks ago!
