New Year New Post
Well I thought I'd post again after as it's been such a while since my last post. It's been a pretty emotional new year to be honest so I haven't been able to get on here as much as I would have liked. Our little boy has been for almost the entire month of January with virus', infections, stomach bugs and colds but thankfully he's been healthy for a week now and he's back to his old self which is great.
Then I also had great news at my University and the career path, hopefully, looks pretty good which is great news as I'm really enjoying lecturing. Then the wife has also landed herself a job as well so it looks like our future in Wales is looking pretty cool.
Work has been non stop since coming back from Christmas what with interviews, assessments and new briefs kicking off but it's all great experience. Getting the hang of the lecturing as well and I no longer stress about getting up in front of a class and talking which I never thought I'd be comfortable doing.
Anyway that's me for now. I think I might start putting up some of my work soon and putting it out there for it to be torn appart.
Until the next time.

Has anyone seen the last 6 weeks of my life?
Wow 6 weeks have flown by but they have been great
, everyday has been different and they have just whizzed by with plenty of work to keep me busy. My lectures/workshops are getting better and my public speaking is definately getting better, I think I just need more structure to my lesson plans but I think I'm getting there.
Anyway not long till my family join me permanently back here in Wales so look forward to my lessons being seriously effected by my lack of sleep.
Anyway I'm going to start uploading some more interesting stuff other than my ramblings very soon.

My new job
Well I thought I would let you know how I'm getting on in my new job as a lecturer. It's been almost 2 weeks since I first started at the University of Glamorgan and I have to say I'm loving it, it's such a huge difference from my last job as an animator at Blitz Games Studios. First off I am so busy I have no idea where the last 2 weeks have gone, seriously. I have been thrown into the deep end which has been a great experience. I have already done a lecture on stepped animation which wasn't that great as I wasn't too sure what the students knew and where they were work wise but I know I'll get better at this. Also I have had tutorials with all 3 years though I haven't come close to meeting all the students.
This week is reading week and I have been fortunate to work from home for half the week. I have been making my way through about 80 seperate pieces of work that have built up as there's been no first year lecturer since term began so that has been full on. But I think I have the hang of it. Having to go easy on them as I have to remember this is the first time most of them have ever animated full stop let alone on a computer.
Anyway it's been really good and the staff have been great, some I have already known since my time here as a student 7 years ago. Being back in Cardiff has been great and I've really missed the place, it's changed so much, but my accent is thickening up again and i think it's time to buy an umbrella again.
Right that's it for now. More animation relevant posts to follow.

Hello there.
Well here I am. I thought I would start blogging again after a little dabble in it a while back, but now I am lecturing I thought it would be a good place to post cool animations I've found or have been passed to me, my own pieces of work, when I get the chance, and also anything of note or interest. This makes more sense than just e-mailing people or trying to get people to remember a website name. So I hope to be on here a lot so do keep an eye out. Wish me luck.
