Internship Week 1

This is the first week of my internship at Aninzi. As T'la Frame does not exist anymore. We are transferred to this company, which is very new. However, most staffs are experienced from big company like Imagimax. I had come to this place before last month for an interview, so I know how the place looks like. It is a room in the condominium, and there are four people working here.
In this week, I got two assignments from the staffs. The first one is a Plastic Wrap advertisement. They assigned me to model a plastic wrap in Maya and use it to wrap a dish of soup. What I learned from this assignment is the use of bump map, and how to use the Blinn material.

Another assignment is a flash animation for the website. Flash is one of my most favorite program for doing animation. From this project, I learned how professionals work on Flash. They create and stock materials in the library, so it is easy for others to take the file and animate these materials.

After working for a week, I still want to work in the field of animation industry.
