SPRING IS HERE!

And so is Animgather!

See you next Saturday ;)

For more details check out our facebook group or @Animgather on twitter.

This is our third event so far. We usually meet at a certain time (this time being 2pm) and then carry on for as long as people want to hang out! People have attended from all over Europe and we always have a ton of fun. You can check out our past shenanigans here:

Be sure to bring your cameras and film equipment, as we always like to post pictures throughout the day and after the event.

Here's a video to celebrate spring time

Can't wait to meet you all :D

Framestore even tweeted about us :)

Spring is here, which means it's time for another @Animgather, run by one of our animators, India http://t.co/kAB8gCLbA7

And here's the article

Worky works

Soooo I haven't really posted an updates for a while on this here main page

I've been super busy with work, a course and various other things I've decided to launch onto my plate this fine 15th year into the 2000's.

So on this page you'll find out more about the project below, Nokia X. It was my first project leading as an animator! It was such an awesome experience, and I really loved working with the team. Much fun was had. We've been working on and off this project since September, and it's nice to finally have it in the public domain.

I've also been hard at work at iAnimate. An online animation school run by Jason Ryan, over in the states. It's superb, I recommend it to all levels. The amount of content and instruction is insane. For example  last night our instructor gave us a 5 hour review, 5 HOURS! Crazy. Well worth the pennies. I've learnt a ton and we're only half way into this block. I'm keeping all my updates here http://indiasplingplong.blogspot.co.uk/p/anim-pops.html

And here's my latest "finished" assignment (nothing's ever finished!)

I'm also working on my short film bit by bit, and hopefully will have more stuff to show soon, as I really want to start teasing you people with it! :D. I'm so stoked about it, I just need the time to finish it now. As well as that, i'm trying to learn a bunch of software, more rigging stuff and more drawing and painting. I had compromise on the running and most other social aspects of life. My boyfriend helps me to stay in touch with reality, just about ;).

So yeah, hopefully there will be more updates of lots of fun things soon!

Meow!
