Year 3?

The project we did for the 3rd year was really the thing that opened my eyes and made me think twice about what i actually wanted to do.

If i did plan on going into games i think the best route would of been the coding side of things as i could kind of control the way i wanted the game to be. If i went into game animation i think at best i would just be creating the images that i was told to create. There wouldn't be any creative freedom.

Where as in terms of cartoon animating you can add your own style. The Flinstones is a perfect example as almost each episode there would be different animators animating the characters. It isn't always easy to tell, but there are little things like walks/mouths/lines that show us who the animator is.

John K (Ren and Stimpy/Weekend Pussy Hunt) wrote a little blog entrance about it that'll you'll find the link below.

(Ken muse) A personal favourite of mine, not the cleanest or most proffesional out of the bunch but there's something about the lines he uses for Fred's head that makes it appealing for me.
