I want to share with you this amazings shorts from the school Gobelins:



And

FIRST WEEK AM!!

At last! After a countdown from three months near the clock reached zero and the new year came new airs with. On January 2 began an affair (that of becoming an animator), which last about 18 months, months that will be hard work but certainly full of experiences, from the moment I can say that the environment will host a spectacular way,full of welcomings and full of tips to make life more bearable on campus.

I hope to go telling my experience in Animation Mentor every week, every Monday up a comment, for two reasons: to share with you this experience, teaching a weekly work done, for if anyone in the future is encouraged, and second because it will serve me as something more to keep me motivated more if it's possible haha!

The first week is very relaxed, is a week dedicated to you, to get to know the campus, to know how to move around, knowing your Mentor and your colleagues, browse the forums and have your first Q & A in life (small videoconference with peers).
My mentor during the first 12 weeks will be Elliott Roberts who's worked as animator among others in: Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, Ratatouille, Finding Nemo, Iron Man ..

The companions of many different locations and have had some great conversation, but in 12 weeks sure will for many more, how great is that a month earlier and open the doors to the campus in what is called "orientation" and already had some knowledge that I have helped a lot to be more "cool" thank you very much for Look and Delgado Roman Fonzo!


I would like to highlight a little something special every week, this week I think it's more than worth to mention the enormous effort they have made participants Devils Angels & Date, finishing a project that is fully coordinated through the network, congratulations! !

The journey begins...

Finally, after many doubts and think if it was the right time to launch into doing Animation Mentor I decided it was now or never.

The first was to write the application form, where I completed a couple of questions like, why you want to be an animator, what do you expect about Animation Mentor, something that shows your passion about animation , because I think this job is for passionate people.

The next step is one that I was a little scared and when I finished I thought I had been fatal, it was a mini test of English and maths, about 30 questions and 8 minutes, you would get the result in about 3 weeks.

After a few days, during I had my "siesta" , one call rang, imagine the situation I was totally asleep, and they start to speak in english wowowowo!!

It was hearing the word "animation mentor" and wake up suddenly, it was a call to ask if I had any doubts about the course, if working or studying, etc ...

Then, the next week, I was nervous because of the result of the exam, when I arrived from the work and my mum gave me the notice...

YOU ARE ADMITED IN ANIMATION MENTOR , yehaaaaa!!! I think I was not expecting, then I said, it all starts here, now there is no need to go back and work hard hard, hard, so now I prepare myself thoroughly with English and basic animation exercises, go back to the roots.

By week's end I attended the first "caffe talk" Q & A (Question and Answers), where they explained some rules of the "caffe talk" and filled us with positivism and energy, also met students who began in the summer and many people who begin the "workshop (springboard)," now in September with students from the "Fall Term".

In my case I have to wait to WinterTerm in January 2012, aaaaaahhh CAN NOT WAIT! haha
Keep you informed ...

Who am I?

Hi my name is Dan Raigorodsky and I'm a passionate for animation and visual effects, I remember first time i saw Jurassic Park, I guess my face told everything, and since that day I knew, I would be part of the people who can resurrect dinosaurs, I mean animation and the computer world gives you the way to make all you can imagine so that was the pofession I wanted to make!
And now I know, I am now apprentice and always will because it's a profession that you never stop learning.
