Introductions

Hello blogging world!  Before I begin inviting you into the world of my work, I'd like to give you some background information to give you an idea of just who I am so we can get better acquainted:

My name is Katie Canadas, I am currently in my fifth and final year at Chico Sate finishing my degree in Applied Computer Graphics with a Technical Option.  My main discipline is animation and character animation, but I also dabble in rigging and photography is a big hobby of mine.  I was a member of the Women's Golf Team for four years, traveling all over the west coast playing golf all while furthering my education.  It's been a wild five years but I'm looking forward to the next chapter in my life!

I hope you enjoy exploring my blog!

Box Jump

Well now that the holidays are over, I'm finally able to work on some side projects that had to be put on the back burner   This first one is just a simple box jump, below is the first works in progress video.  I've completed my first round of blocking and will begin further refining my blocking before moving on to splining. I've decided to do some shorter, more simple animations for awhile.  I feel I'm struggling a little bit, so I want to build my confidence as an animator with these shorter animations.  Enjoy!
