Last painting from the course

I just completed bobby Chiu's course. It was a lot of fun! I highly recommend it!

Freedom!

Hey guys,
I just did one of the best things in my life. Thanks to my friend Krystian I jumped in the tandem from 4000 meters. Instead of words I will give you pictures and the movie :). Pay attention to my face at the beginning of the movie if you need a reference of a scared guy :)))). This is definitely the best reference you can get on the internet :)))))))
MOVIE NR 1 :)
MOVIE NR 2 (It's quite big, around 80 mb)

FMX/Stuttgart - I am coming :).

Ok, I know, it happened again...lack of posts for a loooong time. Sometimes I completely forget that I have this website. Anyway, I am just packing my stuff for the FMX! Yeah, I am going to visit Stuttgart again. Can't wait to meet all of you folks, I love that energy when a bunch of animators hang out together :). I am sure we all will have a blast!

See you soon!

WOW!!!

Hey guys!
Oh wow! I didn't post anything for a long time....you know how it is, you start to work on your shortfilm and you forget about everything else :))). Anyway, there hapened so many things in my life that I don't know what to start with :). So first thing, I graduated from AnimationMentor.com! Yes, I am officially an Alumni. I had a chance to go to San Francisco this month. I spent the one of the best times in my life there. I had a chance to visit Pixar (thanks Victor!) and DreamWorks (thanks Mark!). It was such an amazing experience! Seeing my dream studios in real! WOW!!! I had a chance to visit AnimationMentor.com office which was soooo great!!!! And of course the graduation was absolutely fantastic! I had a blast, AM prepared something that I won't forget ever! I was so excited and if that wouldn't be enough...I won "Mentor Choice Award" !!!! I still can't believe it! I just want to say here, that it is great honor to have this award, especially since there are so many talented people in Animation Mentor. I am not sure if I really deserve this award. To be honest it never ever crossed my mind that I can win something like that...I had a hard time to say a word once I had to tell my speech...emotions were so great that I was about to cry at that moment. I will never forget that feeling. I had a chance to meet so many friends from Animation Mentor, and there were so many people from the industry that I had a chance to talk to! You know what, if somebody would tell me two years ago that I will have a chance to have such moment in my life I would say that it is just impossible. But AnimationMentor made such things possible to all of us! If you have a passion for animation everything can happen! That's absolutely amazing! I will upload some photos soon. I could write about that 4 days of my life probably a book :). But I have to work on my shortfilm. I took additional term in AM in order to finish it because it is just way too loooong - 1:40 . But I think I am on the right track. All I have to do is just keep animating :) and having FUN. I would like to thank so many people here, Animation Mentor, all mentors and students I met. Thank you guys, I had the best time of my life!!!

What a day....:(

I was nicely planning to do one shot today but my pc literally died. Namely graphics card and mother board. So I have to wait till thursday for a working pc :(. I am just going to friend to copy the files from hard drives to my usb hard drive, so at least I can copy some files to my mac and work on something on the Mac...man, it couldn't happen in the worse moment. I will lose two,three working days in which I could block two or three shots. I will automatically be behind. Damn!

End of Week 1.

Hey guys, sorry for lack of posts but production of the shortfilm takes all my time. I did the blocking of 4 shots. Shot nr 4 was super tricky and is still kinda off. It will need much more love, but I have to go on and leave as it is for now. More shots waiting for blocking (18 shots to be exact :) Anyway, here is the blocking I did this week BLOCKING Oh, and by the way. My new mentor is Kevin Koch. He was working for DreamWorks. I really like his attitude, "no spoon feeding, this is 3 months of production crunchtime guys" :))))). And to be frank, this is soooo true, crunch time, that's what class6 really is :))).
