about

My name is Matt. I'm an interactive designer, and I make things move. I'm not an Animation/Illustration major although I have a great love for animation, but a Digital Media Art major. I find animation fascinating, and physics even more so. This blog was created for Art 123 - Physics of Animation at San Jose State University.

    Good choice for the movie; outline looks good too. In fact, you may have more material to work with than will fit into 1500 words so don't feel obligated to cover everything listed in your outline. Full credit (10 points) top
