Introduction
Welcome to my blog.
Let me introduce myself. My name is David, and I've been working as a software engineer for about 20 years. I'm now training for a job in the field of animation. My long term goal is to work in feature animation, but I find games and visual effects work interesting as well.
I'm currently finishing up an animated student production at the University of Washington where I did character setup, some effects, and general scripting in Perl and MEL. I'm also a third quarter student at Animation Mentor.
What will you find here? I'll probably post on animation (from a viewers perspective), some technical bits on animation, MEL, Maya, and movies in general. Hopefully it will be interesting enough to be worth your time. I should be posting twice a week or so.
As for the name of the blog? It's from a quote of Grim Natwick in "Animator's Survival Kit". "It's all in the spacing and in the timing." How true.
