A new semester starts...

Okay, so I'm actually a couple weeks late. I'm currently in week #3 of FA10, and I'm having a great time with my classes. This is the longest I've ever stuck with a collegiate-level program, so the fine folks at Academy of Art University should be very proud. :)

I'm taking these classes:
ANM 104 - History and Technology of Animation and Visual Effects
LA 121 - Art History through the 19th Century
ANM 342 - Node-Based Compositing I

Both history classes are very cool, and my Nuke class is great. It's nice to have some guidance, because learning node-based compositing concepts on my own would have been way too tough. Catherine Tate knows her stuff, and she's happy to share with the class. I'm counting myself lucky to have her as an instructor.

Post-production on Gamer Chick has slowed down a bit, but that's only while I get into a good groove with my schoolwork. We're halfway through season one now, and then I can take a deep breath or two.
