and it's a story that might bore you, but you don't have to listen, because I always knew it was going to be like that.

really? check their website in a few days and they will almost certainly have an article with you as their star pupil as if everything you've achieved was due to them. Would you say you learnt a fair amount from the course or was it more a case of things developing afterwards in your own time? I'm guessing there was some gain from doing the course but I know how much you learn from working hard on a reel and even more on the job.

---

yeah i will.

i would say i learnt a great deal from the course, but what was really great about it was time to focus and work solidly with feedback from you and the others there. I probably did learn just as much if not more after the course when i was making my reel(s). a lot of that was due to reading the animators survival kit and the illusion of life and again working solidly but now with the goal of getting a job. but what i learnt then was nothing compared to what i learnt when i actually got a job

Yeah I found that too when I studied. I did a TAFE course years ago that wasnt very focused on 3d but it still gave me time and a feeling of motivation to produce work. I also just did a short Maya course recently as I have mentioned and although it was only 5 days the kick start it gives you is very tangible. To be honest when you were in the class I saw you expanding on your modelling skills and your character design was awesome but I didnt really think you were so into the animation side of things, Whats you're next step after this, are you working on a new project yet?.

---

i'm not sure what prompted me to pursue animation after focusing for so long on modeling and texturing. whatever it was it worked out and i can do a bit of everything as i need too. sometimes i get frustrated focusing on animation for so long that a change is nice.

i am still working for the luke, the guy behind figaro and am currently working on a short film followed by another series sometime next year.

Congratulations Matt, that's really great news. "Award winning animator" is a good title to go in front of your name when you introduce yourself.
