We all need to have those breakout moments as designers. You get that first big job that can either define your path for success in the future or lead you down the path of procrastination and ultimate failure.
Hunk’N'Roll wanted a short animation that showed the key features of 29ers. I worked with them over a period of 2 weeks (since the deadline was sooner than later) and created a 30 second animation using After Effects and Photoshop. I wanted to tweak it more but deadlines are deadlines.

Thirsty Mind Thursday – CGI Inspiration
Thirsty Mind Thursdays: Your weekly dose of inspiration.
Well its Thirsty Mind Thursdays and its officially 1 week since I have finished my first Maya class.
