It is very challenging though, especially when actually doing character animation, having to bring these characters to life. I too only started learning that less than 2 years ago at the university, but I think until now I've only seen the tip of the iceberg, it is much harder than I thought ;) So it can be tedious sometimes, takes a good deal of trial and error, but it feels even better if the animation works and looks natural in the end. I'm not sure yet if it's really the one thing I want to keep doing in the future, because sometimes I think that all that work that I put in just a few seconds of video might not even get noticed. But maybe that's just how I feel because I'm only just starting out, I guess in the end it will probably be worth it. ATM I enjoy modeling stuff more, because I have a little more experience at that, it just comes naturally and I can fully utilize my perfectionism :D Building things like that almost feels as creative as drawing, I love having so much control and going from a raw shape to a very detailed one :) I have some ideas as to what I could do once I'm finished, but nothing definite yet. Even playing with the thought of going to some animation school in the USA, but those are very expensive. It's something I still have to figure out... Exciting times!

Fiftyeight looks like a really cool place to work at, from their website and the clips you showed here. It must be great to be able to work along on those kinds of projects :) Do you like working in 3D modelling/animation (well probably, or you wouldn't have chosen this study/job ;)) or does it also get tedious at times? I had one semester of 3D animation when I was still doing Media Technology, and thought it was quite nice to do (nice enough that if I <em>had</em> been accepted into art school, it's what I would have majored in, even) but creating really decent models right down to the details was quite hard work as well. More so than simply drawing/painting manually. Do you have any idea yet what you want to do once you're finished with college? Any big dreams of working for Pixar or anything? ;) Thanks for your long comment on my blog! :)
