Discovery of a Medium


As a student, we all have that first foray in to the field of our choice. The one where we learn the basics, the one where we learn the potential of what we can do. This animation, while not good at all looking back on it, was my first step into the world of 3-D animation. Animated in a classroom setting in Autodesk Maya, this basic bouncing ball (that's a lot of b words) portfolio opened my eyes to the possibilities of 3-D animation. Before working on this, I never thought I could do anything artistic with the knowledge I had. Using graphs and numbers as well as a still developing (let's be real we never stop developing) artistic eye allowed me to apply my past experiences with math, physics, and engineering to an entirely new medium. This really opened my eyes and is a landmark in the beginning of my development as an animator, and as a creator as a whole.
