Bent Image Lab

So i haven't had much time to rock my pose a day challenge.... I found out last week i would be immediately relocating to Portland, Oregon to start a contract with Bent Image Lab. Before i flew up here i had CTN last weekend which totally radical! Met a ton of new folks as well as people i'd previously only known digitally. I saw some amazing panels, amazing artwork, and received some incredible feedback on my reel. I was lucky enough to have some of the worlds best talent critique my work in school, but it was even more awesome to get some more uber talented eyes to tell me what's what!

At the close of CTN Sunday, i immediately flew up to Portland and started work Monday morning at Bent. I was lucky to have a buddy living up here who also happens to live 2 blocks from the studio whose letting me crash here until my wife gets up and we find ourselves a place of our own.

Bent is pretty incredible. They do a lot of really great stuff. I'm with a team of 6 animators (and it appears we're all AM grads) working on a huge commercial. It's all character stuff and there's like 20 different characters in the spot. I'm currently working on a shot with the principal character and learning a whole lot about cheating to camera.. haha.

I hope to start back up with the pose a day thingee come after i've settled in up here. Should be sooner than later. Until next time amigos!
rock.
