Well first of all happy New Year to all, hope you celebrated well :)

I went back to school today for the first time this year :D and it was pretty cool, found a neat tutorial @ the 11SecondClub and will be trying this style of animation this week: http://www.11secondclub.com/helpful_hints/the_fear_of_moving_past_blocking/

also my buddy Julian introduced me to this short called "The Passenger", which's also kinda cool:

Here's a little something I'm working on now till Christmas break, really hope to get a good rating @ www.11SecondClub.com for it

The audio is great and I was itching to get started on animating. Thank you all who gave me ideas and feedback on this piece.

Affy gave me a link to this awesome short, even though it's super creepy it's masterfully done,
