Keeping the weekly pink trend I made a sleeping cat on a whim one day and figured I'd share it. Now, this Monday was the day I walked across the stage to the beginning of my life, the day I no longer had to wake up at 5 a.m. and drive for 30 minutes to school, and the day everyone wore their tassels on the wrong side and no one said anything about it until the very end. And yes, that did actually happen. But it was a good day, got to see my friends again and chat while everything was set up. We all madly cheered for each other when each person's name was called. Making us all laugh enough to get a good smile in our pictures. We all met some of each others family, and got together for pictures before finally heading back home, it was a good day. I feel weird to, like its the end of my school life.. again, and it's still just the beginning of my life.
In terms of progress, both on the project I mentioned earlier and on the animation I said I am using for practice. Firstly the project, while we haven't met up recently to discuss anything we've all been adding concepts and ideas into our group dropbox. I helped conceptualize a forest that'll be in the short, and I've also been helping add to the lore, thinking up lore and information about some of the creatures and races in the world. Also helping to give insight on the magic of the world and how it works. Mainly I can't wait until January, a lot of the work we've added to the dropbox didn't have to be done now. The others and myself just wanted to get started, everything goes into full planning and setup in January.
There's not much I can say on the animation practice, but I have started working on it. I don't want to show all of it each week, so you'll see some of it every now and then. Maybe tease some of it when I'm about half done roughing it out. I've done setup and loading the reference video into flash, and I'll be laying key frames later.
And now tires. Cars have them, a lot of rolling things use tires. And you know what sucks? When your car's front tire is attacked at night by a large rock. I was following a friend to meet with and hangout with some friends he knew, when I saw the rock I didn't have enough time or space to avoid it. The rock was softball sized, and it my tire hard. Punched a hole into it, and damaged the tire rim which can't be repaired. So, yea my car misfortune is all the more present. It hasn't gone through any of the phases as of late so I guess that's why my tire was hit. In any case, beware of rocks hidden in the night.
Till next week -
