Thanks for arranging those golden nuggets in one easy blog. A truly remarkable reference for any animator. Good job Alonso.

Wow, I *just* stumbled upon your blog, Alonso! It's going to take me weeks to digest all of your posts in here.. there's some really great stuff in here, thanks for putting all this out! And thanks for compiling these examples of the classics mentioned in Goldberg's book..I'm still waiting for my copy.
I remember on the AM site you had some really terrific notes from when you had Kevin Koch as a mentor. I remember grabbing those from the forums.. with his permission you may want to put those up as well.. you have a gift in taking solid notes. :)

Glad you're finding it useful guys.

If you still have access to the AM forums and do some digging you'll find that I posted notes during each term I took. I think there had been a thread titled "gold nuggets" or something that collected everyone's notes together. I think the majority of my notes where in the super old archives where they would have a dedicated forum spot for each mentor every term.

I don't think I'll post my notes on this blog just because I wouldn't want to step on AM's toes.
