As you can see, I added a lot more stop-motion classes this time around. It's hard for me to grasp my change in focus since I came in wanting to do more 2-D animation. I still love 2-D, but I don't think it is my strongest asset. I'm not the best draftsman. I like putting in holds more than I should while animating.
I feel like every year I change my emphasis a little bit. I did more CG last year and tried modeling in Maya for the first time. It's interesting but I miss feeling a real object. I will still keep animating in Maya for practice.
I'm finishing my blog post about my trip to Prague over the summer. I got to meet some amazing stop-motion studios and individuals there. It might be the reason why I changed.
