It's been a weird week. Not in the sense of other weeks that were exercises in Murphy's Law, no. Just weird. Everything feels off to me. Maybe it's because the semester is winding down. Maybe it's because the two shots that were due this week were so very short. Maybe it's because the next animation due is a single complex shot. Maybe it's because it's been a month since I worked at a real job. Maybe it's because things are a little off in my personal life. Maybe it's everything and nothing all at once. I don't know.
It's just been a weird week.
Anyway. I completed shots 023 and 024 in what amounts to record time - though these shots are very uncomplicated. The only problem I ran into is the masking needed for an animated hand to grab a static clock. In the end, that wasn't very complex it just took a little thinking. The commentary at this week's review was good too, I've reworked the two shots a bit to make them much more effective. Of course, all of these end shots will be better once I get the animation of the clock in place along with all the floating paper.
On tap for next week is Shot 012. This is going to be one of the really difficult ones, primarily because it will require a fair amount of drawnings and skill on my part. Still, I shot reference video of the entire film and I intend to use that for this shot. I'm not simply going to draw over it frame for frame, but I will be studying it very, very carefully. It'll be complex and I'll be stressed but I'm not really that worried about it
I still feel weird though.
Maybe that's it. Maybe I'm feeling weird simply because I'm not stressed about the film - or this semester either. I really think that has to be it: I'm not stressed. At this point in the semester I should be freaking about about grades, projects, hitting deadlines, paying bills, and buying presents for the holidays.
But I'm not.
Weird. Oh well, we'll see what next week brings. Stay tuned...
