In the middle of making a music video, laying out all the subtitles so I don't have to listen to the same line in the song over and over to the point of insanity, I decided to make a Pi Day video, which can be viewed at the end of the comment. Fastest I've made, clocked in about 10 hours.

At this point in the music video production, I'm in the process of converting my line art to vector shapes in Flash, where it'll be animated. Can't believe it took me close to two hours just get this far after scanning in the images. I can still make the deadline, but the question is how much polish I put on it in the end? Also, I did it on my laptop while hanging around at Starbucks. But then when I bought the file back to my desktop, ugh, she looks really sick. I meant for her skin and hair to be desaturated like in the mainline Shin Megami Tensei series and "dreamscape-y", but instead she looks really sick (also explaining why her skin in her forward shot looks more orange). Maybe I need to recalibrate my monitors.
