Abstract
Early in Fall of 2004 I purchased and completed a series of DVD tutorials on advanced CGI animation techniques with the hope that I would be able to reimburse myslef for the purchase with ORCA funds. These DVDs covered a variety of subjects, including modeling, animating, rigging, texturing, lighting and particle manipulation. These DVDs allowed me to rapidly move forward in a more comprehensive understanding of the skill-set necessary to work in a professional environment. My increased skill and knowledge of these subjects allowed me the advantage to begin work on the Animation Senior Film Project, Der Ostwind during my sophomore year in the program, an experience that is uncommon, as most crews on the Senior Films are comprised of Seniors and a few Juniors.
