Day 7108

I wasn't going to be working tomorrow but now I am :< Hope I can get it done in the afternoon and come home and finish packing O.O my days packing is so much effort... I'll be doing that for the next 4 years at least once a year on and off I think... Live out of boxes?

Slowly running out of food.... Two days left I wonder if I can manage not shopping. Though I get payed on Thursday :) so that's good.

Kinda wish I didn't have to work, sleep, eat, etc. So I wouldn't get tired and I could just listen to audio books and animate different things o.o get all the projects that I have planned done or at least significantly more towards completion o.o That would be good o.o Think I'm going to scrap the idea of working from stock images for my comic, I've only done two panels so starting again won't be hard o.o I think finishing the first page and being happy with it... That's what is going to be hard XD

The house I'm at at the moment, I decided to clean the bathroom as... It's not been done in a very long time and I feel bad for the people still living here. 

Today was the day of failed animations....  I learnt more about animating in photoshop and editing in premiere o.o but ultimately didn't make anything I could use :< Think because I didn't really have the main fish pictured in my mind I wasn't really sure what to make. Decided to go back on flash and edit it on there getting rid of the texture and such. I'll maybe add the glow back in? We shall see.

Adobe is looking for Student Reps!

Adobe believes creativity is critical for student success! To that end, we are developing a new identity for Adobe Education and we want to showcase your student’s creativity as part of it. Each execution of the “Adobe for EDUCATION” identity will feature student-created art. This allows us to show that Adobe empowers students, rather than just saying it. For students, this is a great opportunity for their work to get national or international exposure.

We are looking to receive submissions by August 15.  

We are looking to showcase the participation from K12 through Higher Ed!

Well this is... Interesting. 

Day 7016

Verse 1
'nd Magpie stole the apple from my eye, He took her to a land far away, Maybe he'll grow into one with a soul, That'll think of others before himself.
Chorus
But its one for your sorrows, and its two for joys, Three for the girls but its four for the boys, Pay in silver or pay in gold, For the secrets that he already told.
But its one for your sorrows, and its two for your joys, Three for the girls but its four for the boys, Pay in silver or your weight in gold, For the secrets that are never ever told.
Verse 2
And Magpie stole the stars from the star, And took them as jewels for his kin, The moon stared and the wolves softly howled, As she stepped out from those clouds.
Interlude (chord change)
Shining so bright, In the darkening night, As she walked down old Brighton road. He paid eight for the kiss, and nine for that wish But its ten for the one that he'll miss.
(change back)
Verse 3
And Magpie stole the apple from my eye, And he showed me all my days,well i slept through my nights and I slept through his days, while he taught me how to play
Chorus
But its one for sorrows and two for joys, Three for the girls but its four for the boys, Pay in silver, all your weight in gold, For the secrets that I've already told.

Stop motion?
Apple, cut into apple peeling it away to seeds, seeds start to grow into plant with peolple in the leaves

Day 7104

“Nobody tells this to people who are beginners, I wish someone told me. All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap. For the first couple years you make stuff, it’s just not that good. It’s trying to be good, it has potential, but it’s not. But your taste, the thing that got you into the game, is still killer. And your taste is why your work disappoints you. A lot of people never get past this phase, they quit. Most people I know who do interesting, creative work went through years of this. We know our work doesn't have this special thing that we want it to have. We all go through this. And if you are just starting out or you are still in this phase, you gotta know its normal and the most important thing you can do is do a lot of work. Put yourself on a deadline so that every week you will finish one story. It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions. And I took longer to figure out how to do this than anyone I've ever met. It’s gonna take awhile. It’s normal to take a while. You've just gotta fight your way through.”
   -  Ira Glass

Think I'm going to change the flash background for a flat colour that I can edit out and then have this in the background instead.

Trying to figure out how to do the main fish....

Rachel is going to take it off my hands :) I got it from work... and then realised o.o I'm not that into minions o.o and yes o.o....

Day 7101

Make up~ o.o As you can see in my parting hair is...Slowly starting to go back go blonde/brown


Two things annoyed me today.

1) Was on facebook first thing this morning on the university cintique and one of the technicians comes over to me and says,
"That looks like facebook...."
"Yes it is..." I reply
"We normally kick people off the computers when they do that..Just a warning"
"Even when it's for work?"
"Yes..."

Not the exact words but you get the idea, and I'm not annoyed at him per say but at whoever made that idiotic rule up. Inconvenient, idiotic and inhibiting. Yes if the cintiques are all being used and you are just using it for facebook so be it, get off and use any old computer. But when I'm working on an animation or a project where I myself am using that computer and then my main way of communicating with other members  working on the project is Facebook, or showing them what I've done so far.... It's ridiculous.

2) I went shopping in a Co-op and I'm sure the security guard thought I was stealing as he kept following me around. "rearranging stuff". I think staff should be trained to keep an eye out for thieves without making customers feel uncomfortable, it doesn't make for a welcoming shop and doesn't leave a good impression.
I understand that they can't know who is going to steal and who isn't but my days it's annoying to be suspected when you aren't doing anything wrong -.-
It shouldn't annoy me.... o...o But it does.


Aside from that... Though my goal was to be productive until 8.30 as you can see by this post at just gone 5... That's not really happening.


Didn't manage to finish the fish... Just one more hour and I think I'll have done the background work for it.





Thing of today, really like the dance and the make up XD Is a nice song ^-^
the scene where she is lying on that cloth.... That makes me cringe a little when I see that o.o Can't help but imagine feeling it.... D:

Day 7101
