Week 12

My thanksgiving break has been me working non-stop in the Butler Building working on my stop-mo set and in the lab for 7 hours today. Tomorrow I have a 5 page essay to write then rush over to the Butler and try to get as much done as possible

I have 3 films, 3 essays, some animation tests, all due in the upcoming weeks. It is beyond stressful

My puppet looks really cool!!! But her right arm has broken off 4 times :( and I need to perform surgery on her tomorrow and will post pictures of everything

I'm also working on a 3D cut out stop-mo film

and my final presentation film that I need to present to my mentor that I haven't started on at all but will get done!

This is my Intuitive Assignment. The assignment was to animate to sound

That 7 second animation took me 7 hours!!! Why? because I suck at flash and it was my 1st time doing hand drawn lip sync!!! This was also a result:

Week 11? Or is this Week 10... crap

Ok I have no idea what week this is, all I know is that there are 4 more weeks of classes!!!

I have a ton of stuff to do

(After Effefts puppet walk, Stop-mo short, Stereoscopic short, plus a 1 min short film, and a animating to sound test)

Ahhhh



anyways here are some stuff to look at

and here was my assignment for my Intuitive class

The assignment was to have certatin things come in on different times and use the space of your screen

and now I have a ton of laundry to do, finish my puppet, work in after effects, start collecting cardboard, and might go to Toy Theater in LA tonight!

Week 9 Week 10

I am getting really bad at updating this

and my Animator of the week only lasted one week! i'll get back into that (someday)

I've been watching a lot of erotic films lately at the film library and having small life crisis's but it's all normal

I have nothing to really post for this week, we are building puppets in stop-mo and they have to be done, completely DONE by friday!!! I need to remember to take pictures of my work

then I have a hand drawn animation that is really hard due on Thurs :(

there are more assignments (readings, after effects tests...)

but for now I am trying to get everything done. I need to get off this lab computer because my eyes are extremely blurry from animating a spinning wheel.


p.s. these are all the films i've watched lately not all of them are erotic
and the reason i've been watching so many is because i need inspiration for my fetish film but also because I am stressed out of my mind and watching films is the only thing that can relax me

Week 7 & Week 8

Blogging at 4 am on the school computer

Finished some tests, I don't have much to post

This was my week 7 Intuitive Assignment:

This week for Stop-mo our assignment was to draw a character sheet for the puppets we're going to start building for our end of the semester short! I ended up changing mine and am going to do a short story about a punk girl.

I've also been doing a bunch of tests for my end of the year hand drawn animation which is really really hard :(

Here is one of them:

That one is almost done I just need to fix the timing on the blinking, color, but It is almost done.

Tomorrow is the Suzan Pitt screening and I should probably get off since I have class in 4 hours and 40 mins!!

ohh! and here is my Halloween costume

Uncle Artie from pete and pete!!!

Week 6

I've realized that the only reason I blog at this time, half awake is because if I was more awake I'd be doing more work.  These are my animations for this week (Week 6 of school)

Our Stop-Mo assignment for this week was Replacement animation and a camera move

This is my first EVER lip sync, I think I like it now but at the time my puppet was falling all over the place, I couldn't get the tripod to shoot down, this was a very very VERY stressful shoot.  But here it is, My Poly Styrene animation test:

My New Intuitive Assignment for this week, we picked out random words from books then had to make and animation from it. Some of the words were: British, Artist, Mistake

And since I liked my last week's Intuitive assignment background so much I decided to re-do it in flash. I'm happy with how it came out!
