Particularly going from cranking out 3 - 5 seconds a day to 3 seconds a week. <br /><br />Was a lot of that time spent redoing blocking to get that to a point where people were happy with the direction? or was it more just going over the shot many times just polishing the crap out of it?<br /><br />Anyways, great insights! Thanks!<br /><br />-BarryBarrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435340282916901384.post-88330907286021662892009-06-20T15:48:26.964-07:002009-06-20T15:48:26.964-07:00Wow knowing that YOU had a hard time leaves me wit...Wow knowing that YOU had a hard time leaves me with little hope of ever being good enough to shine the shoes of ILM/PDI janitors sigh..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435340282916901384.post-18719049667384990022009-06-16T14:21:36.052-07:002009-06-16T14:21:36.052-07:00"I have an immeasurable amount of learning an..."I have an immeasurable amount of learning and catching up to do before I will be able up to the level of these guys"<br /><br />Coming from you that sounds incredible.

I'm a regular to your blog, and after reading that you were heading out to ILM for your film gig, I was really excited for you.. and nervous! I know you're a family man, so I can only imagine that compounded the stress a bit. I love your notes on what you learned in your journey through ILM.. especially about the one on stressing about details. I think I get caught up on relying sometimes on those details to sell the statement I'm trying to make, and like you said.. it's not those secondary details that will ultimately sell it, it's the pose and the timing of the moment. <br />So I do have a question for you.. What could you tell us family people (wife, one or two kids) who are scared stiff about giving film a shot? Who are afraid that once the project is over, we'll be living our own scenes from the "Pursuit of Happyness" movie? :) I know there's always just that leap of faith one must do.. and although I don't profess that I currently have the skill set to go successfully into film, it still is a dream of mine.. just sometimes it's hard to envision leaving the blanket of comfort that is games, if there can actually be such a thing. :D So I wonder what it was that made you just decide to take the plunge? I hope this doesn't intrude into your personal life too much..<br />I apologize for chosing the anonymous route.. it's just paranoia.. :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435340282916901384.post-77404090964093650582009-06-10T01:59:47.762-07:002009-06-10T01:59:47.762-07:00Your wise words couldn't have come at a better...Your wise words couldn't have come at a better time for me.

Thanks for writing and keeping us up to date, man!<br /><br />I've gotta say, that you've been the most inspirational and helpful voices on the 'net for me. I'm in school at AM to learn the trade and I've never been happier. And I've also never worked at a large studio.<br /><br />So hearing about your trials, tribulations, successes, and failures, is an incredible insight. And you are very uplifting. <br /><br />Please don't forget about us (your audience and fans)! ;-)<br /><br />-DanielDanielhttp://www.danieltheanimator.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435340282916901384.post-63559869422230463962009-06-09T03:13:59.215-07:002009-06-09T03:13:59.215-07:00Wow ...
