As usual, I contemplated missing today's class. But I didn't. I hope I get some brownie points for coming in today because I have a lot of work to be doing.
My storyboards are being worked on. I have a lot to do for my senior II class tomorrow, so I've been trying to kick butt on them, but that doesn't mean I haven't been thinking of this class! My storyboards are slowly coming together in my head, shot by shot, and when I get the chance I will put them down on paper and scan them in. I realize the longer I take to do this the less time I will have to actually animate this thing, so the simpler I can make this the better.
PS - saw Coraline this weekend. Effing amazing. Inspired me to do my senior project, ha.

and its the second half...
We're in the second half of the quarter. I am behind in every class. I am also deathly ill. I cannot wait for this weekend to sleep forever.
I don't really know what to update, except that I hope to finish at least one more tutorial by the end of class. I wanted to finish both, but my cold is really taking it out of me, and all this medicine I'm on is making me soooooooo tired. I barely made it to class this morning, and I don't have anything new to show for my senior II class tomorrow. Awesome.
Whatevs. I'm gonna get to work.

hello roto
I finished the Rotoscoping. Hated every second of it.
First one: Very jumpy. I'm blaming the original movie.
Second One: It's of my cat, Gary. The video was really dark, so at first I couldn't make out his form enough to keep the lines from wobbling, but as I watched it, I kinda liked the style. It looked pretty sweet, so I went ahead and did the rest real loose so it stayed wobbly. I like it. It's Gary jumping on my counters as he follows the sounds of me shaking the bag of treats (which is why the camera is so shaky).
I am deathly ill, so I might not be able to get to the other two tutorials, but I will try. But first and foremost, I must finish my senior II work!!

Personal Test
I wanted to try and name the 12 Principles of Animation. So here it goes (no cheating):
1. Anticipation
2. Squash and Stretch
3. Appeal
4. Overlapping Action and Follow Through
5. Secondary Action
6. Solid Drawing
7. Slow-in and Slow-out
8. Timing
9. Arcs
10. Exaggeration
11.
12.
Okay. I forgot two. Dammit.
They were "straight-ahead and pose to pose animation" and "staging." Whatevs. I think I remember those when I'm animating, but now I'll make sure.

Happy Groundhog's Day!
Happy Groundhog's Day everyone. If you didn't know, the groundhog saw his shadow, so six more weeks of winter. Booooo.
Either way, we are halfway through the quarter. I don't have any storyboards done. I don't even have much of a script. I am very behind. I will try to finish all the tutorials today, so I can get those out of the way. I also have a checkpoint in Senior II on Thursday, so I will have to do my scenes for that before I can nail out some storyboards.
I'm definitely nailed down on a premise, though. I think it will be some guy in an office trying to get candy from a candy machine. Of course, it will get stuck. There will be some kind of rush, maybe, that he has to get his candy, or maybe he will just get really angry at the machine and destroy it somehow. All of this will be decided by next Monday.
I am getting sick again. I thought I was done with sickness a while ago, but apparently not. My throat is so sore, and I can barely keep my eyes open because I am on a lot of medication. Hooray.
