I've finished Animation Mentor! Over three years since I first enrolled (including a two-year hiatus where I couldn't afford to return to it), I've finally come through the other side.
This is the final shot I've worked on in Class 6 with James Chiang, who has been a terrific Mentor. I'll upload my showreel later this week, as I'm waiting for final feedback on this shot from James before I put it on my reel:

I'm particularly pleased with this as it's been very quick and painless to animate. I submitted my blocking two weeks ago, and James only gave me a few notes on it, and the same thing happened when I submitted my splined "refining" pass last week.
Class 6 has been great. James runs the class in a relaxed manner, allowing the students to revisit old work or start new shots if they prefer. If I hadn't been able to work on new things I'd have probably gone crazy, I didn't enjoy going back over my old work at all. Shortly, just for the hell of it, I'll post all the work I've done over AM that didn't make the reel - 95% of it. But, crucially, the important thing is that I learned lots in Class 6, and my skill level has increased dramatically.
