Monsters University

Hello everyone!  Today's blog title is inspired by Monsters University, watched it this evening and was reminded of how awesomely amazing it is!  And decided it would be the title for tonight!  In other news, started working on a new push animation and just finished the initial round of blocking, woohoo!  I tried out two different costumes on Morpheus and they weren't looking too hot, so went back to the black leotard.  And I received some of the best advice: stop thinking so much and start trusting my abilities more, which helped tremendously!  My next steps are adding in more detail, seeing how much anticipation I can build into my blocking, and seeing how well I can sell every pose.  I want the emotion to slap you in the face!  I'm feeling good thus far about this animation and will keep chugging away at it!  Enjoy!

This blog title's inspiration comes from a song by Cassadee Pope, while not my favorite song off her album (though a very catchy tune), I thought the title was fitting for this post!  I've updated my character animation demo reel to include my most recent dance animation!  It's always a fulfilling feeling updating my reel, anyway, hope you all enjoy it!
