got an idea while in the shower, had to jump out to write it down:
short animation/fun side project movie idea:
girl is working too hard on projects on the computer, when she finally logs off get gets up and walks over to the bathroom. she picks up her facewash and the closer it gets to her the more pixilated it gets. everything ins acting like that, the closer it gets to her face it looses visibility. she right clicks it and a menu pulls up. she starts changing everything around her until she's in her favorite place.
ok idea jotted. here's a sketch dump:

Backgrounds

I'm working on my final for creative Viz today and thought I would post some of the backgrounds I'm going to present :) they are rough indications on the underwater scene and the coloring style of the animation.

Soooo....

I should of been working on my script or possibly my storyboard, but I decided that after the horrible events of today I needed a break from school for the day.
Hipsters in my photo class let it out on how much they hated my photo project, which let me down, a lot. Then I felt like I totally bombed one of my finals...so all in all not a very good day in my book. 
So I decided to pick back up on my portfolio website. I read a ton of sites and just got more confused on CSS and how to do it. I went on Photoshop and just started mocking up what I wanted it to look like....I'm just not a learner by words, I have to DO it, so the CSS won't come until I can find some interactive thing to do it along with (Youtube will not let me down this timeeeee)
Here's the basic skeleton I'm thinking of:

Anyways, I should get some sleep...... I gotta cram in the homework I didn't do today into tomorrow morning....

Ill be glad once finals month is over!  

What I've been busy with...

Hey all,


Finals are upon us and I've been swamped for the last few weeks (If you can tell by the lack of updates) but I have some exciting news! I was able to attend a wonderful workshop by the fabulous Will Vinton! If you don't know who he is, I suggest a quick Youtube search, but he did the California Raisins a bunch of awesome animation specials and The Adventures of Mark Twain :) I got some out of focus shots of him teaching and my first attempt with clay (I like sculpey a lot better than plasticine, it didn't smooth very well!)

Asking about story format

glorious mustache man

Mine is the purple one (its super ugly, I know)

anyways other than that I've been super busy on finals. Ill be posting them and their progress as well (Some tonight, tomorrow, and throughout the week!) HOORAY! 

Tonight I mainly worked on my Photo I Final which was anything we really wanted to do. I was drawing some crazy weird drawings one day and I thought "Hey these are kinda neat" <- I think lame dialogue.....

So after I showed my teacher we thought of some ideas on how to do it. Long story short, I built a huge vat that we put one of the figure drawing models from RMCAD in. It was a long process but I had a blast, and I learned a lot about photo, lighting, and dealing with models and whatnot (btw, she was really awesome the whole time!)

Here's some of the digital pics:

Then I took some pics with my 35MM Film camera, since I can't submit the digital files. I wanted to make a clean presentation so I got a 8X2ft piece of plastic and gridded it out for the pictures. I dripped black on the back for some extra UMPF

So that's it for now! Ill post more tomorrow :3
