I have not been on here in a very Long time. I finished AM since last posting, and i'll post my Demo Reel from that (not that any of that will see the light of day) but this is a scene I finished up for an internship I applied for earlier in August.

Progress reel

Here's my progress reel for class 1-4. I have not been on this thing in awhile. how stupid of me...

week 1 & 2 (nearly 3)

woohoo! I'm in week 3 (i'll post the stuff from that come critique time(still refining)) and it is AMAZING! it's almost terrifying becoming addicted to homework. sitting around, nothing to do, and instead of watching a movie or playing a game, I say "maybe I can tweak my ball bounce a little" or "i'ma work some poses right about now" ya know? It's AMAZING, It's something I thoroughly enjoy doing, I did not pick wrong when I chose animation. It is FREAKING AWESOME!

oh yeah, and other things in live happened today... WHO CARES? I'M FREAKING ANIMATING MAN. I mean FFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... but anywho.. WOOHOO! hears the stuff.

Some S*** I've been up to

As I said before, I WILL NOT POST AN MAYA SPRINGBOARD STUFF. this is just for random quips until I get into the real classes in the coming up weeks.

As of right now, my life is going very well, in fact, almost too well. so, naturally, nature decided to humble me and remind me of my own mortality. Last Saturday, a member of my high school class completed suicide. While i didn't know him well enough to feel sad or sorry about it, it made me realize that i need to deal with some of my own s*** before it gets overwhelming and my emotions get out of control. also it has shown me that I can get kinda Touretty when I am pissed off about stuff.

In another note WOOHOO. that is all.

For being generally,
James

A New Day

First off, introductions are in order.

I am James Mahaney, of the first order of the weirdos, the fourth order of the estranged, and of the crazies. But seriously.

I am James Mahaney, I am an Eagle Scout (not palmed, if you do so care)and an Objectivist. I am a brutally honest person and will always speak my mind. My only pet-peeve is dishonesty. In fact, if everyone were honest with me, they could say the cruelest things and probably get away with me not destroying them :D. That being said, I am a squishy panda bear type of person, but am not afraid to get in vocal duels of wit.

Now that that's out of the way, the purpose of this blog is to track my life as an animation student and as a place for me to blabber my nonsensicalities with an air of insensible inhibition.

I also am in a springboard class as of yet, and this does not, in my mind, count as animation yet, i will only use this for SILLINESS!!!

Blager flager,
That is all,
His Awesomeness,
JAMES
