I'll be posting Notes and interesting Animation related links here .
This blog started off as a private blog for my Online animation students at the university where I teach. Students encouraged to discuss the links and notes with your fellow students. The blog is now public and anyone is welcomed to read and comment on the articles and notes posted. (please don't post SPAM in the comments -- it will be deleted immediately)
It's my intention that this blog and any discussion of the links posted here will supplement your online class discussion, not necessarily replace it . I thought this private blog format might be a good way to give you all some more dynamic participation with other online animation students since each of the classes I'm teaching this semester are smaller than usual. But I don't think our small numbers this semester mean small ambitions or small results ! I think you can all encourage one another through responding to what I'm posting here as well as the specific material I'm posting on each of your class discussion boards.
Participation on this blog isn't required by any means , and I know everyone's busy with other classes online this semester as well, but I thought I'd try this out as an experiment in Cross-Classroom discussion online. I'll be trying to post new and interesting links and articles every week , so check in here regularly and if you have any good links you have come across on your own email them to me so I can post them here.
Welcome !

Thanks so much for this. I really appreciate the extra effort. I spend so much time on blogs during the week looking at what others in the industry are doing. This is really nice of you. I have a production blog that I was hoping to get feedback as I worked but that has not happened so far. I am hoping everyone will get a chance to comment and participate in this blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks again. BTW I love the Flipbook software. Do you use it often? Do you have the full blown version?
Hi, Kim
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you like the idea for the blog. I hope to have more stuff posted real soon.
If you get your production blog up and you'd like me to link to it from here just let me know.
Same goes for everyone else : if you would like me to add your website or blog to the Links in the sidebar I'd be glad to do so .
To answer your question about Flipbook: I have the version called Digicel Flipbook Studio , which is not the full version, but works fine for most things . I do like the program and use it for pencil testing . The main program I use for my work is TVPaint , but for some things Flipbook is faster to shoot a quick pencil test .
hello,
ReplyDeleteAm I late? Great site you have here.
I downloaded both flipbook and monkey jam. I ended up using monkey jam. So far it works fine.
Well, this is kind of neat.
ReplyDeleteI probably won't have a lot of time for comments, but I'll take a look every so often and see what's new, at least!

Hi David-
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you got my email - can't use the school's email once classes are closed. I need some tips on a 2d freelance job.
Thanks,
