Yup that's right. I'm working on ReelFx's first full length feature "Turkeys". I've only been here 2 weeks but I'm already having an amazing time. More updates soon!

PICCA
BTW: this is a character rig I built a few months ago for personal use. I thought she turned out pretty nice and appealing. Her name is Angela ;)

Birdy Doodle
Here's another flipbook doodle I made while down time at Blue Sky. This is pretty rough and ugly looking. Took about 40 minutes

Blue Sky!
What have I been up to lately?
I was recently hired at Blue Sky Animation to work on the upcoming film "Ice Age 4: Continental Drift". I've been having such a good time and the people there have such a positive attitude. Earlier today during a screening, one of the supervising animators told the theater filled with over a hundred people that there was a new animator on board. Angelo Sta. Catalina. The entire crowd clapped and chanted dance dance! I screamed "oh gosh no" in hopes that they don't push through with their chants. Luckily I didn't have to dance!
I'll try to post more when I have time...

Short Hand doodle
A page I did exploring a couple short hand thumbnails. This one in particular, I emphasized on flow. I noticed in a few of my airport sketches that some of drawings had this flow-y style to it. I thought I'd try it on my own. Its kind of simple but it seems it'd be a nice style to draw animation thumbnails in because its easy to loose sight of flow in CG when the rigs are by default so stiff and straight. I'll try to experiment more on this type of short hand.

Dreamworks Sketches
Here are a couple Sketches I doodled up while going and coming from Dreamworks Glendale. I shot some 'not so good' video along the way. Martyn Smith, another fellow student from iAnimate and visitor of Dreamworks brought an SLR camera along to take some oh so sweet pictures. As soon as he uploads the pictures, I'll continue on with my secret sinister plans of stealing them to repost on my blog. muhahaha ^_^.

iPad 2 and other stuff
So I finally got a hold of an ipad 2 after my 5th attempt. I know, I know... Why didn't I just buy it online? Well, studying at iAnimate, making rigs, and Skype time with my girlfriend who is 12 thousand miles away keeps me indoors. Going to the apple store to line up with a hundred other people makes for a good opportunity to socialize with others face to face. There was one thing I noticed: Being hidden from the suns reach pushes me realize how interesting outside really is and that I need more of it. When you take something out of your daily habit, you start to look with fresh eyes and a clear unbiased mind (just like animation). You'll notice how the person next to you on the bus presents himself even if he's just glancing about. A person with a commuting daily routine might look at that person just as another commuter clouding the mind of whats really there.
The iA site opened up today and everyone is pumped and ready to animate. I'm really starting to rush things. I haven't worked on my unfinished workshop 4 assignments and I need to get this Jackal rig finished and uploaded ASAP. I need to find a dialog piece to use for workshop 5. ahhh...
BTW.. the drawing up there was made with the artStudio app for ipad.. Its tough drawing with an ipad but i reckon i'll get use to it sooner or later...

Jackal Hands Rigging WIP
So this is what has been keeping me busy these past few days.. I've found that a lot of rigs out there have hands where the knuckles would round out and look like pipes when they would bend.. They fingers would loose their volume and disregard the bone structure beneath the skin. Here's jackals hand system. The deformations took about a day to do.. There are a couple more things to do and iAnimate is starting soon... I've got to get this done and start planning on what I want to animate for workshop 5.
