So, it's been a bit rushy, but I've managed to do what I need to do. As I type this, my final animation is rendering. Since the last blog I've written things have been getting better. We had a final crit last Tuesday, with Wednesday as the hand-in (except I had the before-mentioned five days extension) and it really showed me how fast my animation was going. So I've slowed it all down (with excrutiatingly slow movement of camera angle keyframes and masking keyframes), created a trial run with low quality and it looks pretty sweet. Not as amazing as most in the class but I've learnt a lot. So, for time management purposes, now all I've got to do is sort out my rationale and self-evaluation, burn it onto a disk, sort out sketchbook...etc!!
Oh yes, and there has been a few song changes. The first song I had chosen (see previous posts) wasn't really anything to do with education so Justin mentioned about changing it. To the Grange Hill theme tune. So I phoned the owners, the BBC, and they told me I had to pay £500 to use it. The conversation went like this:
Me- "You do realise I'm a student? And it won't be used to earn any money-"
BBC LadyFiend- "You do realise we're a company?"
I had to hang up pretty sharply...I know what happens when my temper starts to flare.
So I had another look at archive.org and found Use to Abuse's song 'I Wanna Go'. Get going to uni, get it? And it's upbeat, positive etc so fills out the crit that I put upon myself.
I've slowed my animation down, added a motion blur and made the blur more prominent today. Good times I do believe. Tonight- sketchbook, self-evaluation and rationale/revise SOI.
On other work news- CV! Sally and Kit sat down with me and we had a longggg chat about how it was a good idea, but it needs refining and work. So thats my weekend plans. That and laundry...
Have a good one guys
