I am currently still trying to get a job at a large studio like Pixar, Dreamworks, Blue Sky ect but the training continues and I am learning soo much over at Animation Mentor it has changed the way I animate and view my acting choices. If anyone is thinking about learning animation AM is the best place in the world to learn it and you don't have to take my word for it lol

The last few months have been crazy hectic for me. I just recently moved to LA for a new job for DEOS Inc. Over the past few months I have animated a total of 23 shots for a 1hour direct to dvd animated movie soon to be released on Starz network. Things are crazy over there and the deadlines are really hard to meet but I am learning a lot about production and how to work in a production environment.

I also started working as a 3d Animation Instructor about 3 months ago at the Montecito College of Fine Art & Design. I teach kids from ages 8 all the way to adult the basic fundamentals of animation. It is really amazing that kids that young are learning this art form. As soon as I can I will post some of the shots I have been working on for DEOS and who knows maybe I will post some of the demonstration files I have been creating for the kids. Until next time...............tehe

But I think it's all been worth it I am really proud of what I have accomplished and learned while I have been enrolled in art school its opened soo many doors and avenues for me its just amazing.

I am really trying to hone in on all my stuff so all the critique and input I can get will help me out a great deal.

I thank you for you time and input in advance ]]> ~MikeYork http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/9126582/ http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/9126582/ Tue, 20 Jun 2006 12:48:35 PDT
I must say I am sticking to 3d animation though. Nothing against 2d animation I love it but I just prefer to animate in 3d

If you happen to check out "Theodore's Day Out" let me know what you think of it. I am looking forward to hearing your thoughts on it ]]> ~MikeYork http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/7881341/ http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/7881341/ Mon, 13 Feb 2006 08:38:58 PST
I intend to post all of my progress on my animations so everyone can post their critiques and suggestions.

I just started some new classes and I am learning how to composite in a program called Combustion. I am also in a new class where I am learning Adobe After Effects. I must say I like both of the programs a lot. Coposting is a very creative process and I enjoy it soo much.

Adobe after effects is a very powerful program and you can do soo much with it. I had no idea. ]]> ~MikeYork http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/7307757/ http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/7307757/ Wed, 14 Dec 2005 08:39:12 PST ~MikeYork http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/7109547/ http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/7109547/ Mon, 21 Nov 2005 21:10:43 PST

I have been working on cleaning up all my 3d models also, getting them to look exactly the way I want before I start to animate them next quarter I am really stoked on learning 3d and 2d animation. I know how to model really well but none of my characters or vehicles move

Over break I even had time to finish a commissioned portrait that was supposed to be done like 2 monthes ago for my friends mom Im actually proud on the way it came out. Check it out its called Cj ]]> ~MikeYork http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/5664054/ http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/5664054/ Thu, 16 Jun 2005 08:26:42 PDT ~MikeYork http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/4977440/ http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/4977440/ Sat, 02 Apr 2005 08:03:12 PST ~MikeYork http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/4418684/ http://MikeYork.deviantart.com/journal/4418684/ Wed, 26 Jan 2005 09:36:17 PST I look forwar to more comments and pageviews in the future.
