iAnimate Student Spotlight - Matt Egler


Matt Egler Animation Reel from Matt Egler on Vimeo.

Starting the New Year off right!  January 2013's Student Spotlight is - Matt Egler!  Matt is that kind of student you hope for. He was a sponge soaking in every note and adding to each idea to plus it beyond my wildest dreams as a teacher.  I love the last piece on this reel with the new ianimate rig - "Billy."  It's the perfect example of how you can take audio out of context and make it even funnier. His weight assignment with the little girl trying to push a plug into a socket is equally fantastic.

Matt took my WS3 - Advanced Body Mechanics course AND the WS4 - Closeup Facial Acting and Lip sync course at ianimate Summer and fall of 2012.  His body mechanics work was equally impressive to his facial assignments and the piece where the girl is trying to plug in the outlet was a great exercise in staying true to scale.

Matt is an animator now at Nerd Corps!
