anthea hearts animation mentor

my first blog

wow, this blog craziness has really gotten way out of control. everyone's got a blog. how do all these people have time to do amazing assignments at animation mentor, work a full time job and blog their little hearts out too? it's just mind blowing.

well it has been a few weeks since i quit my job at psyop to focus on AM and plan a move to LA to be with my boyfriend marko. so far it has been going well except for a few frenzied moments selling everything i own on craiglist, you do meet some strange people that way.

last weeks strong pose:
i have been cruising around and noticed a definite pattern w the strong poses-

90% were one of the following
-lifting weights or something heavy
-classic atlas pose
-1 arm push up
-fight scene

what does this all mean?? after constantly seeing the same concept over and over again it begins to get a little mundane. it is a hard thing to try to peel the layers off of an open-ended assignment such as the poses assignments we have been getting. i like to really dig into the idea of the word and explore the million options, to me someone isnt just stong because they can lift something heavy, it comes from an internal attitude.

with that being said, this week is concerned, and boy o boy is this a lot harder. i brainstormed and came up w a bunch of supporting ideas and concepts:

-worried
-interested
-intrigued
-helpful
-attentive
-supportive

i went through about 8 versions of stu confused and revised them for a few days. i have 4 versions up on the public review section and hopefully i will get some good feedback from all my talented am friends.
