Exercise: 4 It's a Pitch
Comments: I love A:M, I just seem to be a lot better at modeling than animating so far, but I'm learning every time I try to do something. Appreciate any comments to help me get better.

Exercise: 3 Move It
Date: June 20, 2007
Comments: Now that I'm about to post and I see everyone else's posts, I'm feeling I need some more practice and will have to work a little harder. There are some really amazing poses that everyone did for this exercise.

Exercise: 2 Chorus Line
Date: June 19, 2007
Comments: I finished a couple of the exercises before I've posted, so I hope I'm not making some mistake over and over again! Had a little trouble getting the file size down, but appreciate all the previous posts, more suggestions than I've had time to try out yet. Just been working through the book so far, should I be looking at the videos instead as I complete the new ones?

My name is Mike and I'm a newbie. This is actually my first forum post ever, not just on A:M, but I'm really looking forward to getting involved in the community and working through TaoA:M and the exercises. I've enjoyed reading the forum posts so far, seems like a good group of people. I started with v10.5 a few years ago, but a slow computer at the time really made it difficult to keep up. I did complete the exercises back then, but I'm looking forward going through all of them again to relearn.
I'm 30 and work at a small environmental engineering company in Canada. The reason I've upgraded to v13.0 and want to get back into A:M is that I see a lot of use for some animated training videos for the sort of work I do. That's the long term dream, we'll see how it materializes; right now I'm looking forward to really learning A:M as a hobby, and we'll see how good I get at it and where it goes. The idea of helping out with TWO is definitely interesting, so I want to work towards my TaoA:M certificate right now.
Anyhow, hi everyone. -Mike
Exercise 5: Take A Walk

Exercise: 5 Take a Walk
Date: June 23, 2007
Comments: Still learning lots and having lots of fun. Seemed to have trouble really getting the feel of the head swagger and ear movement, not sure if I actually got it right, something just doesn't seem quite natural about the whole walk I came up with. Had to render in draft to keep under 2 MB, I think I need to read some more posts and learn how to render and compress for best quality/size.
