OMG!! Look at the changes the house from our Life on Paws short has gone through! The camera was never animated until the last and most recent iteration which is crazy cause it looks so cool! :D

A New (Hope) Beginning

So this is where I will be posting my work from now on! Previously known as thepinkpandaqantmblog.tumblr.com I thought it would be fresh to start a new blog for the next chapter of my career. I will be posting so much stuff on here ranging from personal work to work I do for my business at Polynaut Studios (feel free to check us out!)

I will be keeping up my old blog for myself and for others that want to see some of the work that can come out of the Animation course at SAE/Qantm in Melbourne. I feel that it could be of some importance to someone other than myself.

I will still be posting old work that I did during my time at University on my old blog and I will also be posting some of that on here as well that I am happy enough to share here! But there will be nothing really new after a while.

I’ll be happy to answer any questions relating to the course on here but would prefer to keep that over on my old blog and am more than happy to answer any questions about animation in general on here.

Hope y’all enjoy this new space!

The End Is Near!!!

   So I was meant to tell everyone what will be going on with this blog in the future. It completely slipped my mind/ Ive been putting it off because I ain’t ready to say goodbye though.

   It’s been three long years since I started at Qantm/SAE. A lot has happened. I have learned so much from my time there. From the first couple of classes thinking I’m ready for all this "BRING IT!!”. To the massive amounts of self doubt that plagued my mind time and time again. To those epic days where everything was going right and no programs crashed. It has been quite a journey and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way.

   It’s amazing looking through this blog at my journey from my first horrible drawings right through to my final project. I have noticed so much improvement on how I work and the quality of my work too. I’ve left Uni with so much knowledge and so many devices and strategies to keep learning as I grow as a professional. I owe a lot of that to the amazing people that I learnt with and those that taught me everything they know.

   Leaving Qantm/SAE I have gone into starting up an Animation business with a couple of friends from uni. So far it has been a crazy couple of weeks and the future looks both scary and exciting! But I’m happy I am not facing it alone. The people I am working with now have been some of my closest friends since Studio 1 and I couldn’t ask for a better group of people to tackle such a task as starting a studio with.

  As for the future of this blog there is no need to worry at all! This blog isn’t going anywhere. As of now though it will not be as active as it once was. It is here to serve as an insight into my journey as a student that attended Qantm/SAE. For other students to use as a tool, reference, and enjoy as one student’s story. I will still be posting anything that is related to my time at uni. A big one to keep an eye out for will be our final film ‘Life on Paws’ after it makes its rounds in film festivals (or you might even catch it at festivals!). Other than that other stuff like rigs, arts and bits and bobs will make their appearance here.

   For those that want to keep up with new content I will be creating a new blog in the next couple of days (once I think of an amazing epic as name) for you to follow if you wanna see me take my next step on this epic journey.

   Thank you so so much to each and every single one of you for being by my side throughout everything!

   - Will Archer
