"Running Up That Hill"? How appropriate...
... except it's getting steeper after every step >_<;;
I've spent the last... forever, doing these little stop frame animations:
Number 1
Number 2
Number 3 (unfinished)
Bear in mind, each of those is made by having a camera on a tripod, taking a photo, moving each figure a miniscule amount and taking another photo, etc etc. Each of the above has about 5-7 frames per second, between 200-250 seperate photos that I have to take to make them. Each has taken me about 12 hours to make.
The first one I showed to my tutor on 3 separate occasions, and have re-made it twice. and by re-make I mean I was only able to use about 50% of the frames from the previous versian.
The second one I made over the weekend just gone, and the 3rd one I made from the small hours of this morning until 2.00 when my tutorial was. I was thinking I could just show them to him, get his approval, and finish them off for hand in next week.
He wants me to completely re-make the second one. Apparently the handle is in the wrong place.
And he wasnts me to completely re-make the 3rd one. He wants a girl to come out of the bottle instead of 2 more guys.

I want to scream. I don't think I'd be so annoyed if it weren't for the fact that the 2nd one is perfect, nothing wrong with it apart from apparently middle aged idiots can't see the handle properly, even though everyone else could. And that bit where the guy climbs on the shoulders of the other guy and turns the handle? That was HELL to make, because they would not stay ballanced. It feels like he's told me to start from scratch, even though he said they were really good, he's still so perfectionist about them all. I really just want to finish the damn things and never touch plastecine ever ever again!
I think my tutors also forget that I have other projects to work on too. Other projects that I'm going to have to put on hold AGAIN because this will be taking up all my time. And I've got a whole presentation to do by next Monday. Whoop-di-flippin'-do.
