Bendix Loves Beef Tongue and Hair Animation.

Halløj alle sammen!

My weekend at Cherry's place was incredible! She showed me a bunch of new food and I can now say that I have a deep craving for beef tongue, preserved egg and matcha ice-cream. It's right up my ally, it's savory and full of flavor! She also has the most adorable dog. 

 
Monday I was assigned a laughing shot – laughing is incredibly hard to get right without making it look like the character is shaking like a coke bottle full of mentos, but it's also fun to get a challenge and experiment until you get it right.

Tuesday we went out for Karaoke and it's probably one of the funniest things I've tried while being here. I was really nervous at first, but seeing how Ash and Aaron screamed their lungs out and everyone was laughing, I dared to be just as ridiculous despite not being able to hit even half of the notes (I'm sorry for any bleeding ears I might have caused)! At work I was also assigned a shot where I got to do hair animation!!!! I couldn't stop writing to Cherry about how excited I was and I still am! Hair and clothes are my favorite things to animate! My shots this week have been challenging, which has sadly slowed me down significantly, but thankfully they've been a lot of fun. 




We also carved a bunch of pumpkins at the studio before going out for Karaoke, which is yet another thing that I've never tried before. There was a lot of trial and error but in the end, my pumpkin ended up with a decent face. His name is Gregory.



Today we're going out for a ladies only lunch at a vegan place and tomorrow we're going to watch Cowboy Bebop and play games! The weekend is pretty packed and I'm really looking forward going to High Park and see if all the leaves have changed color, especially since I've been told that it's one of the most beautiful things to see when you're in Canada, so Canada, you have a lot to live up to now.

Next week is my last week, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to sneak in one last blogpost. If not, then I won't say goodbye but see you all later, as I hope to come back to say hello in the future at least once more!

Bendix Loves a Challenge!

Heyoo!

Monday Aramika and Aaron invited me to start exercising with them after lunch and it's incredible what a little bit of movement can do to boost your energy level! I feel weak compared to the others, but in two months I expect to be ripped like The Rock.


At work I've finished up one of the more complicated crowd shots, a fun and engaging challenge and now Rich, Cheery and I are at nitpicking level and we're putting the last sparkly finishes to the scene and then I got one more shot left to spice up. Next week will be a surprise as I have yet to find out what I will be doing!

I've also visited the AGO for the first time together with Aramika and Aaron and as Aramika is well-versed with the museum, she gave us a small tour while I plagued Aaron with my puns. We finished the evening off with beer and burgers at the bar across the street and on Sunday we'll possibly repeat the success and go out to one of the islands for a party.

Tomorrow I'm going to FanExpo with Pippa and her roommate, and I can't describe how excited I am! I love conventions and this one is HUGE compared to the danish conventions, and I know I'm going to end up spending hours in the artist alley and dealer hall.

Until next time!
