After my first week here, I feel pretty good. aside from the few office perks, my supervising animators are great, and everyone else is fantastic to work with. First day there, I started with another animator from EA, Brian, and after 6 years of fixing motion capture data, he got tired of it all, and went into film. I've been asking everyone soooo many questions already... I just hope they aren't tired of it yet, cuz if I know me, and I might, I think there's alot more questions coming :D

Another thing, I continue to meet amazing people. The head designer/writer is unreal. His drawings are straight out of Tim Burton's style. I think he worked on Nightmare Before Christmas, just to help make the connection. And I met this other guy from California, and he showed me his portfolio, which was all hand painted BG's from Clone wars. I guess he was hired directly by Genndy. Then he went on saying things like.. ." yeah, I called Genndy the other week, said he's just waiting on a green light for his movies... "Man... And I just talked to like, 5 people outside the animation dept! So, it's all been very overwhelming, me being such a geek for this stuff, I'm just loving it. It all seems so surreal.

Anyways.

So this is the studio I work at. I indicated with the track pad some drawn arrows to which floor we're on... and where the balcony to go out for smokes is. :D





























And since I can;t take pictures inside, here's a couple of pictures of EA, I can walk to it from where I live... but it's not a walk I'd like to do every day. I thought it was maybe a 20 minute walk, but it ended up being over 45 minutes!































































And here's just another couple of pics of downtown stuff. These are condos... man, they look nuts.















Mountains!















funky cars in bc... every 1 in 4 is like this.




















Ok, well, this is it until the next update, mr internet is supposed to hook me up later in the week, so maybe i'll start posting more.

take care!!!
