The Crunch

If i knew nothing of the crunch before i am getting aquainted with it now.

I have completed a soundless version of my anamtic and am not sure f i can get sound on it by the end of the week and have only completed one coloured layout. I am a little pleased about getting at least one layout done because now i am more fermilliar with photoshop and have eliminated some technical issues with my layout and lighting. My confidence leads me belive that i will have at least my layouts done by the end of the week. This will be a squeeze though. An indianna jones finish. Which is not what my 'be early all the time, not on time or late' mantra is about. This is bad, very bad. Not to mention jack's 'finish modelling your character on your own' task which fills me with dread. i cannot complete everything i have to, i'm near sure of it which is complete balls. I'm not going to waste time listing the things i'm going to have trouble finishing. i'm simply going to say wish me luck and i hope i don't loose my hat behind the big rock door.

Week 1 Term 2

No catchy name for journal. This is a concerning thought. Moving on.

Week 1 went by fairly quickly (probably because i was absent for one day) however for the most part i am keeping up with my work. My storyboards and Character Sheets are completed, i have handed in said storyboards and a Composition piece for Darrens class. I have also prepared all the pictures for the creation of my anamatic. The sheets Huni gave us on Tuesday about the updated curriculum scared the buhjesus out of me. I don't know how we are going to incorporate this into our plans and i'm very annoyed this part of our corse has only been updated now. Due to the fact that i have been complaining for the last few journals i have decided to approach the remainder of this journal with jubilant cheer.

One thing i am mildly concerned about is the delightful amount of time i am taking to complete my layouts and colour designs. The brilliant greys, blacks, whites and reds i have decided to use for my colour boards and general layout has left me cheerily stumped (and not stressed at all). I am somewhat perplexed at how i will colour my happy robots and make them stand out from the background and my lack of photoshop knowledge coupled with the only version i have of photoshop being an old model only at one of the houses i live at is causing drawbacks. By the end of week 2 these wonderful colour boards/ emotion boards and layouts must be completed along with my masterful anamatic.

Oh so happy am i.

Purple monkey dishwasher.

That's all i have to say.

p.s. great to have jack teaching us animation and great to have aidie back (i really mean this part)

These So Called Holidays

My holidays where not really holidays at all. The work experience i took on ate up a lot of my time and any other time i had spare was used up by my normal job. It was difficult to do my homework and i have yet to complete my bible despite the fact that a lot of it is due on tuesday of this week. I think it was a good idea to do work experience but i will not be doing it again unless it requires less time or i finish my corse. Third year is proving to be my busiest year yet. I wish i'd had time to chill out and unwind but unfortunately that didn't happen. It will probably have to wait till next holidays.
