Vasco De Mello → Samantha Watha: Ive finally at long last Updated my notes from the workshop. Ive still got other notes from different talks but this was the most helpful to me.
Ive split it into 5 or 6 parts to make it easier.
Vasco De Mello → Samantha Watha: Thanks for the add, always good to make more friends in the animation community, and congrats on getting accepted into Animation Mentor, the work that comes out of that always puts me at awe.

I actually went up and talked to people this time and the more I did it the more I wanted to do it again, ended up making some good friends and Tony West seemed really interested in seeing my current project when its finished WOOP WOOP.
And thanks for those sketches, I also talked to Stuart Sumida who can help with the design and beleivabilty of the alien. He said to make it less human and more alien, then to not use the muscle tendons on the kneck cause thats for mammals, the kneck bone could go into the back of the skull rather then the bottom and if its a reptile it will have a tail and lean forward (like dinosaurs). less
