Crunched what I could before going to Vegas on Friday for NAB. It’s pretty rough and trying the record every 4th frame for blocking as one lesson suggests as a technique didn’t really work out well for me, I think its complicated things and made it really hard for me to focus on great poses and timing as my mind is too focused on making the 4th frame instead of thinking about it is “KEY” frames.

Hopefully I can fix it up a lot while in Vegas, but well it is Vegas and I’m a notorious gambler so I’m not setting high expectations on myself.

Well this time I had to crunch after getting back form Germany, but that didnt’ stop me from accepting an invite to a guys poker night on Friday, Thanks Guys it was great.

I’m getting much more comfortable with Maya now, and the previous week Paul had given us some great shortcuts and such to help with working in Maya such as the “K” key which allows you to scrub the animation anywhere, CINEMA 4D has the equivalent shortcut assigned to “J” but it currently doesn’t work in the new R10/11 Timeline, don’t worry I’ve posted a bug report.

Stu is a little concerned this week.

Oh and some revisions of last weeks blocking, of course this all went into doing the final walk you see up above, but also some changes to the Stu pose
