Here's the walk cycle that I did at Disney. I figured Bolt's been out long enough for it to be ok for me to post this.Related content

No, not anymore. There was a wave of lay offs after Tangled and I was let go. I'm at Rhythm & Hues [link] now but I'll be working at Blue Sky this fall.

Oh. Sorry you got layed off. But do you have any info of Oswald possibly returning in something other then Epic Mickey? I know you won't say in what if he will but could you at least say if he is gone again or not.

I have no idea. Feature animation is separate from Disney Interactive so I don't know anything about what's going on with their games.

I didn't mean any games. I meant in anything disney relaed period.

Oh, I don't know. They might do something with him as far as clothes and toys go but I don't believe he has anything as far as a future in movies.

Poor oswald. Well at least he isn't teaching two year-olds how to spell (poor Mickey).

You're so lucky to work at Disney!Did you happen to meet Byron or any of the directors while working there?It's basically my lifetime DREAM to work at Disney Animation.What classes did you have to take to get in?I seem like a crazed fan, don't I?xD sorry!!

Yes, Nathan and/or Byron were in the animation dailies everyday. Glen was there too though he wasn't always at every session. There aren't any specific classes that will enable you to get into Disney, it's much harder than that lol. It's all based on the quality of your demo reel. Some schools are better than others but simply going to a good school isn't enough. You have to work hard and constantly strive to produce the best work that you possibly can. Even then that may not be enough since there are so many different factors that go into hiring someone. You cant control who they or any other studio decides to hire. As long as you do your best and your animation continues to improve you'll get in somewhere.

I do my best in everything-I make mostly A's and B's in school, I'm working hard at drawing and writing, and trying to learn as much as I can about the business.It's a shame, if I do get to work there, by then, Glen and all the amazing people who I look up to might not still be there

Thanks! I didn't do any work on Bolt though. Interns aren't allowed to do production work so all I could do were tests. It was still a fantastic experience though!

They can be done in various 3d programs like Maya, 3d Studio Max, Blender etc. [link]

How did you get the nice ear bounce? I'm doing a 3D fox character and he will need a similar bounce while walking. Looks great!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks! I just overlapped the ears based on the motion of his head. There isn't any magic to it, lol. I was just following the principles of animation.

Either way, you did a great job. I really want to be an animator once I've graduated and I'm working on some pieces for my demo reel.

Thanks! What part of the industry are you interested in (features, vfx, games, tv, commercials)? Good luck with your reel!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I really want to get into doing features. I'd love to get in to Pixar, Disney Animation, or Blue Sky for animation. Three of my fave studios. Any tips for me?

Wow this is amazing work! Really really nice walk cycle. Did you model and rig this too?
I'm learning maya with a test rig. This is my first walk cycle - [link]
I don't expect you to have much free time but it would be really nice if a pro like yourself could spare some.

so jealous that you got to intern at Disney. Any chance you could tell me which of your animations were in your demoreel when you applied, i'm currently putting together my reel to apply for placements next year.
I don't expect to get into Disney, but curious to see what a Disney quality intern reel looks like.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh yeah, sorry I forgot to do that. This is the reel that got me into their talent development program: [link]
I feel like they look for people with a solid understanding of the basics, body mechanics and good acting skills. I also think they look at one's potential as well. Good luck!
