RAW FOOTAGE

This is the Raw Footage I will be rotoscoping :D for my final project!

FRIENDSHIP

Alright the new project I am working on is my Documentary/Final Project. I this weekend I will be filming for my Final project on "Friendship."

I will be incorporating the fallowing into my project:
-Pencil Animation.
-Still Images
-Filmed Footage.
-Dialogue.

Later I will post up a small INFO sheet on the progress of my work. I also need to finish my Flash Animation Logo, but I am debating how long it will take I might have to opt it out for the Photo Project because I am still new to flash. Flash Might be something I explore hardcore over the summer. I wish I had a better knowledge of it now.

I have 4 weeks left I will be able to shoot all I need and composite it over the weekend allowing me 3 weeks of finishing up it and making it perfect. As well as refining a few past experimental projects.

ACCOMPLISHMENT

Today is a day of accomplishment, one of the very rare events were I start to get my series of projects done this semester done on time.

It feels good to get them all done on time which gives me motivation to keep getting work done on time I just really hope I can keep it steady that way.

I will be completing today my Exquisite Corpse and then animating my Final Non-objective piece this weekend and finishing it up on Monday. I already have my 15 Frame Non-objective done weeks ago so I will be all set.

Other course wise, I got to fill out more of my sketch book for Anatomy, finalize a Commercial in Animation III, and write a Essay due for Tuesday which I hate because that day we have to come in at 11:45AM instead of 12:45PM D:< that sucks.

Overall this mid-term is going to be done very well I am now pleased :D

gooday!

NON-OBJECTIVE FINAL~
This is a concept idea for my Final project for this half of the Mid-term. I will probrably stray a little bit form the storyboard, my ideas usually tend to do that, but for the better which I am happy with that part.

Work Ethic

I am feeling rather a little behind on my work so far, in my other courses. Mostly Animation III if anything, I cant seem to get myself to still pick up that pencil when I have an Idea and work on the weekend. I just have work and I dont want to get fired also, things my family depends on me to do. I hate having to work around everyone's schedule I end up losing time that I could be using on good work for class.

I am working on a group project, and I am pulling my weight, but because my brother took the car yesterday I couldn't get a ride until later in the day for my night class. Stupid on his behalf to take it thinking he could get away with it. So I ended up missing some work time with my group and revising my part of my work. I dont want to get on their bad side, I am hoping tomorrow the work I show for them tomorrow is decent enough for them.

I have some issue to work out with SL tomorrow and I need to get some things clarified otherwise it might result in something drastic. I just want the feel of how I was on top of everything in the beginning of the semester, but I feel like everything is back to how it was when I was taking 18 credits, but then I was doing lots of hard work that was piled on top of me, but now I just feel lack of motivation this semester, maybe the winter depresses me I am not sure, but I am sure that I dont want to make excuses for myself all the time, so I need to get to work now and get some Experimental Animation work done!

FRUSTRATION

I have been slaking in my animation process only because Ive had a very hard time getting ideas out. I finally got all the storyboards down that I need, because I just finished my "non-objective" storyboard that I will post up soon, but I am now feeling better because I am getting the "process" of the animations going so I am no long slaking. I just wish 'one' of my classes wasn't so demanding in work and time. It is not an animation course more of a *cough* anatomy *cough*. It is a fun class and helpful but my teacher wants me to be 110% focused in it and it can really eat up my time sometimes because if you don't work on it constantly you can easily fall behind.

That's it for now I guess.

BACK TO WORK!!! im in class XD hahaha.

KENISTASIS

This is my first Kenistasis from Experimental I and I enjoyed coloring it until my hands started to hurt then I kind of didn't want to deal with it anymore after that. I think it came out ok, but I wish the resolution was better and that I took better care of it.

A FEW EXPERIMENTAL ANIMATIONS

EXP - Exquisite Crops Storyboard

Basiclly what happens is the "box like door" i got from my partner blows a side open and blasts off like a space rocket engine. Then as it goes off screen the side stays on the ground. A Magicians hat flops out of the wall as if its a hole. It lands on the ground then in a poof of smoke a Magician comes out and holds for a seconed as he then flattens his own hat. He then lifts it up to check it out as a giant black goopy claw grabs his face and morphs into a new monster. It then melts into my door as I pass it on to my next partner Kate.

EXP WEEKEND
Last semester in EXA I I made a week-end Animatic/animation that kinda ended up falling through here is the Storyboard/Animatic. Also in order to view it as an Animatic to get a sense of timing you need to click the image below and then on DA hit "download."

Pretty much what happens is me and my friend got lost in a Hay-maze and it was over a mile long so I decided to bust my way out of it with brute force as he casually walks through it all.

Experimental Animation Notes - #00

The notes displayed are the Experimental Animation Notes from my first EX Class, not this 2nd one, but I thought it is good stuff and info to post up because it still pertains to Experimental II.

Experimental Animation Notes - #01

These are my first page of notes. I am planing on doing a lazer type themed "Non-objective" type animation. First for the 15 frame version and then expand on the bigger version. Then I doodled some odd stuff during other courses.

This includes ideas for the fallowing assignments:
-15 frame cycle
-Non Objective Piece
-Exquisite Corps
