The Road to Critique Week 3

Today I just kinda want to talk about my review from last week! As I'm watching Marlon explain to me what he likes and doesn't like, he will begin to act out moments! He's really grabbing some great expressions that I never thought I could use. I started to think that one of the real reasons I like online schools I can actually interact with my instructor see him act out scenes and show me what  he's thinking, versus someone having to type it all out on the computer.

I've notice time and time when trying to get feedback a lot of people don't write critiques because it takes a while, to explain. you can't really understand what that person is saying the less you see him and let's be real depending on the level of your skills as an animator most people won't waste time to even tell you what you need because the work sucks or either you're in the very beginning stage and most people just want to say get in a school or keep practicing. And I've also notice the only things written in the comments but every once in a while whenever taking the class you might get a few students that really take there craft seriously, want better quality stuff each week. These are the lions, the grinders, THE ANIMATORS. This is where the instructor makes a connection with that student, and you know who the tops are. These guys will get the more in debt instructions, it's more interactivity with the instructors, It's more excitement and energy put into really helping you grow as an artist. I'm starting to see that with Marlon, I really enjoy the one on one time, But I want to pick his brain more for things that I don't know. Some instructors might give you a simple critique and say see you next week that's my golden opportunity to stop them and say what about this, what about that? I need to learn something from this class not get a pat on the head job! Ask your mom for that.
