Maya Springboard – Week 2
Posted by manumenendez | Filed under 2010, Animation Mentor, Maya Springboard
First things first! SPAIN HAS WON THE WORLD CUP! That means I have to paint my face red and yellow for the next Q&A!
So far the Q&As are the most exciting part of Animation Mentor. This week we had two of them. The first one was to deal with general stuff about the animation industry. We ended up talking about Pixar sequels, the dangers of the 3D technology and whether the technique of motion-capture could conquer the industry of animation. The second one was only for Maya Springboard students though we didn’t have many questions so far due to the fact that we haven’t started the lessons themselves yet! Nevertheless, that will change in a week from now! And in a pair of days I get to know who my trainer is!
As you already now, I cannot remain still, so I’ve animated this funny guy dancing to the rhythm of “Uprising”. It’s an small experiment to practice with lights, movements of the camera and backgrounds.
Enjoy it!
Lo primero es lo primero. ¡ESPAÑA HA GANADO LA COPA DEL MUNDO! Eso significa que tengo que pintarme la cara roja y amarilla para la próxima Q&A 
Las Q&As son la parte más emocionante de estudiar en Animation Mentor. Esta semana hemos tenido dos. La primera era para hablar de cosas generales del mundo de la animación como las próximas secuelas de Pixar, los peligros de la tecnología 3D y de si la tecnología de captura de movimientos podría conquistar la industria de la animación. La segunda Q&A era sólo para estudiantes del Maya Springboard aunque no teníamos demasiadas preguntas de momento, ya que todavía no hemos comenzado las lecciones con temario. De todas maneras, eso cambiará en una semana y en un par de días sabré quien va a ser mi mentor.
Como ya sabréis, no puedo quedarme quieto, así que he animado este simpático personajillo bailando al ritmo de “Uprising”. Es un pequeño experimento para practicar con luces, movimientos de la cámara y fondos.
¡Que os guste!
