Class 3 begins! New Mentor Jay Jackson

So I was going back and forth on if I should retake Class 2 for a third time. My mentor encouraged me to retake, but my advisor said that they have seen people do well in Class 3 that have performed like I have in Class 2. Since I would have to retake the old curriculum and I was getting antsy, plus money is not infinite I opted to continue on to Class 3.

My new mentor is Jay Jackson. He has worked on TONS of stuff and seems like a pretty cool guy. He has worked on Sebastian in the Little Mermaid, the Simspons movie, Cat's Don't Dance, Oliver & Company, and more, check out his IMDb!

The assignment is to take Stewie and create a 5-10 sec pantomime clip with two different emotions. I am choosing confident and embarrassed. Stewie walks in confidently and trips over himself. Jay had some really good suggestions, I either keep moving the direction I was walking and skulk off, or I knock over something and run away. I'm still pondering that. Here is my vid ref:
