Life in Animation: February 2013
http://tonychauzer.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 27, 2013. Welp, never thought I'd be saying this but it looks like I'll be going to a hat for work soon:. I was lucky enough to be invited to join their Talent Development program next month. Wreck it Ralph and Paperman really blew me away this past year and I'm honestly pee-your-pants intimidated right now about getting a chance to rub shoulders with the artists responsible for such awesomeness. But I know it's gonna be a hell of a lot of fun. Here's to the future!

Life in Animation: July 2011
http://tonychauzer.blogspot.com/2011_07_01_archive.html
Friday, July 15, 2011. After the much appreciated break we've been diving back into the 1-Person dialogue shot again. My mentor Greg Kyle has opened my eyes to a lot of problems with the shot I didn't realize existed at the time. Looking back at the old shot and comparing it to what it is now. I can only say: What was I thinking? This was with a few notes added from various folks. New hand gesture on the "I dunno" (thanks Drew! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Kahl Drawings for Sleeping Beauty.

Life in Animation: December 2011
http://tonychauzer.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Saturday, December 31, 2011. So it looks like I'm Texas-bound and it feels a little something like this:. Everything is moving pretty darn fast and in just a couple of days I'll be driving down there with my brother. Questions like "Hey, where am I going to live? And "What is cooking? The apprenticeship is going to last for 6 months and I can't wait to meet all the folks there. It's a huge opportunity for me to grow both personally and professionally. Here's to growing up, weee! The Vilppu Drawing Manual.

Life in Animation: November 2011
http://tonychauzer.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 22, 2011. That alone was worth the trip. The most common phrase we spoke during the whole CTN shindig. I can probably talk volumes of each of these, but then I'd be old and gray by the end of it and I'm sorta hungry and would love lunch. In chronological order, each of these in and of itself was worth the trip. 1 Lunch at Dreamworks with some badass mentors. 2 Screening of Puss in Boots 3D in the Dreamworks theater, sat in Katzenburg's row. 5 Sony Panel - Doug Sweetland was in the house!

Life in Animation: Acting Notes (2)
http://tonychauzer.blogspot.com/2012/09/acting-notes-2.html
Friday, September 7, 2012. Text / Context / Subtext. When approaching a piece of dialogue these three questions tend to be at the forefront of determining the performance. Text is pretty straight forward, what are they saying? This holds the most weight when trying to create believable lip-sync, understanding the words and sounds created by those words. In terms of character though, the following are particularly important. Context - Why are they saying what they're saying? One of the hardest things to c...

Life in Animation: August 2011
http://tonychauzer.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 23, 2011. Inside the Mind of Jaws and The Art Spirit. School is coming down to it's final months and it's an amazing time. I feel a bit like Heimlich from A Bug's Life. Chubby yet Bubbly. CTN is rolling around the corner and I'm extremely excited to soak all of the knowledge that'll be exploding in Burbank. It'll be nice to just get away for a few days as well :). DGA Tribute to Steven Spielberg. On top of videos like that (CTN Vimeo has such great stuff! The book is coming in the mail to...

Life in Animation: Engulfed in Artistry and growing within the flames
http://tonychauzer.blogspot.com/2013/07/engulfed-in-artistry-and-growing-within.html
Wednesday, July 10, 2013. Engulfed in Artistry and growing within the flames. Being here at Disney is an extraordinary experience and I'm thankful in more ways than the expected. Being surrounded by the talent and the resources here really opened my eyes to the scope that many of these artists can reach and are still reaching out for. I love how much fire burns within everyone here and how it feeds off of each other more and more. Here we are graduating from Trainee Apprentice. July 16, 2013 at 9:06 PM.

Life in Animation: September 2011
http://tonychauzer.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 15, 2011. Heading towards the finish line. Tomorrow marks the end of the term and this one in particular just flew by. Other than the facial on the 1 person dialogue, we spent all term doing a 2-person shot. My mentor Greg Kyle suggested I try this piece out and this was what I ended up with:. On the book front, I picked up "Cult of the Mouse". I put The Art Spirit on hold for that, but now that break is coming around I'm jumping back in. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Life in Animation: Weight
http://tonychauzer.blogspot.com/2012/08/weight.html
Friday, August 17, 2012. Just typing that in makes me feel like I really need to exercise, but weight problems exist all over animation as well. I am not an expert on any of this so please take this material lightly, this is just me doing my own research and trying to figure it out myself. As with all facets of animation, weight is also just an illusion of what we perceive to be "weighty" in real life. So let's start there with Newton's laws of motion. They drop at nearly. So going back to a ball at rest...
