Internship First Thoughts

During this internship, I am most looking forward to improving my animation skills and expanding them to creating a full-length cartoon feature. My goal during the internship is to conceive, animate, and edit an animated segment for The Rock's children's program. I hope that, given the extended time to work on the project, I will be able to produce a high-quality piece of animation fit for viewing, as well as progress my ability as an animator. During the site visit, I hope to discuss all of the aspects of the production of the video with my mentor, from the general concept behind the piece, to the means of animation and editing. By the end of the visit, I hope to have a basic idea of what my project will be about.
