Animation Mentor Begins

So I've finally decided to start filling out my blog and using it to track my journey to becoming an animator!

I decided that I wanted pursue animation about a year and a half ago when I learned that I could actually have a job that I would like and that would support me. I did a lot of research into how to pursue this goal and came up with the best solution for me. I found  animationMentor after searching around for the best ways to learn professional animation. When I first heard of animationMentor.com I was very skeptical, I even dismissed it outright since I thought an online school could never get me what I wanted. However after browsing the forums at cgtalk and 11secondClub it was clear to me this was no ordinary online school.

I was able to secure a loan with a reasonable interest rate around November of last year and signed the final papers in December 2011.

Today I had my first day of class and I must say it feels awesome to finally be taking steps to create an awesome career for myself. I look forward to updating this blog with my animated shots every week. I will always try and post something to show myself a year or two from now how far I have come, and perhaps inspire others.

For now I'll leave you with some of my first animated shots.
