Katie Canadas : Animator

Today's blog title is one of my favorite songs by Jason Aldean, I saw him in concert a couple weeks back and am now even more obsessed with his music!  Love him!  Anyway, below is another update of my Footloose dance, this is by far the most challenging animation I've done.  I'm not sure if my ability to see more as an animator is greatly improving, causing me to be more knit picky or if it's the the subtlety of the animation itself that has me staring at the same twenty frames for literally hours.  There has definitely been a lot of frustration and determination happening these past couple of weeks, but hey, if it was easy it wouldn't be so fulfilling!  I see a ton of areas that still need to be polished, but I'm improving and learning, which is what's most important!  Enjoy!

No, I'm not posting this at 3AM!  It's just the current song playing by Matchbox Twenty!  Their music seriously never gets old, they'll always be one of my all time favorite bands.  Well, sadly I haven't finished splining my dance... not even close really, a silly thing called work keeps getting in my way.  But I wanted to post a quick update of what I have splined out so far!  I'm pretty happy with it, of course there are some problem areas to address, I see a bit of floating happening in some areas, but so far so good!  I can't wait to get my first pass of splining completed!  It's always exciting seeing the character come to life!  Enjoy!
