1969 Sears Christmas, Nativities

Nice Catalog photos. It's great to see how they used to market Nativity sets.

Most Improved Student

I promised my WS3 class for ianimate.net I would post the most improved student during the term's final work here on the blog.  The class voted on the winner... and Chris McCormick won the vote!  Here is a link to his website in case you are looking for a very talented animator.  http://www.mccormickanimation.com And, below are his final exercises from the facial animation class.



I cannot say enough about his work and dedication.  The students worked from video reference of themselves, but Chris also infused his character's with a his own mannerism and nuance which gave his work a lot of depth.

The next block starts on the 29th, so sign up!  ianimate has
