(5) Two useful things learnt, hold ctrl while scrubbing to hear audio, and when making a mask the up down key to change the amount of points in the mask. And when the error for needing two frames comes up to do a Ram preview, it's because I've run out of space and need to purge... Or it's a great place to stop :) 
(9) Several more places done :3 

Day 7534

~Squeeeee!!!! Just found out that the uni gives us access to this awesome model set that I can totally use for Jelsa <3

Also used 3Ds max and it seems pretty good :3 we populated a little city street and added idle areas and made them interact and stuff, which is pretty damn cool. Wondering if I can use something like that in the background of paper people? It's a pretty cool lecture set up with one lesson tutorial and then one lesson theory a week. So, so far so good!

I feel kinda fully functioning at the moment, the room is clean, the dishes are done, the washing is.... Well that's built up a bit but yeah. And I'm doing the work in my free time :3 Though now I have the cintiq I am coming back home more instead of being at uni... So that's probably not so good as there won't be things I can pick up from other people quite so much.

Ah I just ordered a 32gb usb o.o I should probably get a part time job... Then I could upgrade my computer faster <.<...... We shall see~

List :> always the lists >.>... This is a mundane blog, what's more mundane than lists? Well I suppose it depends on the content of the list and considereing the fast paced, bites of information culture we are moving into I guess lists aren't really that mundane..... O.o Maybe?

Ah o.o I have stolen too much of Lecturers time twice today.... I shall be careful not to next week I think.

Day 7533

Fringe is back, as you can see....

So at first with uni it seemed I would have a 9am everyday save Thursdays,  it seems I have a two week timetable and this is not actually the case. Needlless to say that 9am is not when I will be up, but I think up at 10 and then work at 11, at least whilst the work allows it is a good plan~ If I fall terribly behind in the next month this could be the reason~ 

Tadaaaa my beautiful cinitq <3 

I'm with windows 7 and a multi wallpaper duel screen set up isn't available. And for some reason the image always starts on the right screen and continues onto the left no matter the set up I put them in on the computer... So wood it has become. That colour difference though.... The room now have potentially 3 high pitch buzzing noises. Isaacs speakers, the cintiq screen, and Terri's charger only when they are in standby does it really become noticeable though.

Good day? Bad day?
Awww looking back at older posts I see that images have been removed of my face :< I'm sure I have them backed up somewhere though~ Today is going to be a good day~ A day of tea drinking and mass exodus of work that should be looked at :>  Rewatched attack on titan with Isaac last night, it was interesting to notice some of the things I missed before, very clever.Health - 7..... I'm okay, but seem to have caught the cold that's been going round... Yay for freshers and all of the humans and their bugs or I have a blood disease and will die in the near future, in which case love to all the humans, you guys are specail! <3

Day 7520

The trial has ended o.o Tomorrow I will go work purely on Els music video from 9-1 then 2-5 see how much I can get done ^.^

Uni starts up next Tuesday!

Tuesday from 1-4pm/  Final Project Pitch/ Room ELW 1.01
Pitch for you are what you eat

Are you good at Animating or you are better at designing ?

Where would you like to end up working ?
Would you like to work for a company like cartoon network ?
Would you prefer to be an animator in 3D for a big company like Weta digital , frame store, the third floor or Pixar  ?
or Would you rather work for animation/design companies like nexus production ?

Think about the great changes someone can make in the world or to a group of people or to the future  and built the campaign around that .

Whatever medium you are using  create your own work inspired from  others but do not copy it literally.

Work on the DESIGN

Make it your own . All the companies  would like  to see a style that they have not seen 100 times before .
If you like a style add a individual twist. Do not just copy that style .


Who Is your AUDIENCE

Be specific not generic . Think about the best way to reach your audience.
