WOW!!!
Hey guys!
Oh wow! I didn't post anything for a long time....you know how it is, you start to work on your shortfilm and you forget about everything else :))). Anyway, there hapened so many things in my life that I don't know what to start with :). So first thing, I graduated from AnimationMentor.com! Yes, I am officially an Alumni. I had a chance to go to San Francisco this month. I spent the one of the best times in my life there. I had a chance to visit Pixar (thanks Victor!) and DreamWorks (thanks Mark!). It was such an amazing experience! Seeing my dream studios in real! WOW!!! I had a chance to visit AnimationMentor.com office which was soooo great!!!! And of course the graduation was absolutely fantastic! I had a blast, AM prepared something that I won't forget ever! I was so excited and if that wouldn't be enough...I won "Mentor Choice Award" !!!! I still can't believe it! I just want to say here, that it is great honor to have this award, especially since there are so many talented people in Animation Mentor. I am not sure if I really deserve this award. To be honest it never ever crossed my mind that I can win something like that...I had a hard time to say a word once I had to tell my speech...emotions were so great that I was about to cry at that moment. I will never forget that feeling. I had a chance to meet so many friends from Animation Mentor, and there were so many people from the industry that I had a chance to talk to! You know what, if somebody would tell me two years ago that I will have a chance to have such moment in my life I would say that it is just impossible. But AnimationMentor made such things possible to all of us! If you have a passion for animation everything can happen! That's absolutely amazing! I will upload some photos soon. I could write about that 4 days of my life probably a book :). But I have to work on my shortfilm. I took additional term in AM in order to finish it because it is just way too loooong - 1:40 . But I think I am on the right track. All I have to do is just keep animating :) and having FUN. I would like to thank so many people here, Animation Mentor, all mentors and students I met. Thank you guys, I had the best time of my life!!!

Thanks for great feedbackguys :).
Teresa - yeah, graduation is absolutely awesome! You will love it!
Bryan - it was great to meet you in person Bryan. I had a great time, thanks again for everything and maybe we will see each other on siggraph in the summer...:)...it depends on several things ;).
Alonso - hey buddy, I am sure we will have a chance to meet in person in the near future. I am not sure if I will be able to upload any progress of my short here since I am planning to send it on different festivals and it seems that in many cases shortfilms that were shown on the websites etc. are not allowed to be accepted on some festivals :(.
