HOLY MOTHER OF INTERNET DOSSERY! An update!
You can probably guess as to why. My degree has officially finished! Thursday May 3rd saw me handing in sketchbooks, storyboards, scripts, timetables, treatments, concept paintings, set and character blue prints, group work, an animatic, a showreel, a CV, 2 evaluations and my final year film, 'The Seeds of Change'. The last point means nothing, because i'm going to work on this film till i think it's worthy of festival submission and/or kicked out my studio. But, officially, i've finished three years of education in zee ways of animation. It's strange, and slightly werid because i'm not working for tutors or marking systems anymore, but myself and towards the prospect of a job. Eep. Also, there's the little fact i'll soon no longer be a student which is pretty scary.
So, yes. I kinda wish i updated this journal with the trials and tribulations of the last few months of my degree, but looking back, there would have been a lot of whinging and bitching and self-pitying malarky and well, no-one wants to see THAT. Instead, i will talk of other things. This is where i look into the distance wistfully, my hand cupping my eyes from the bright glare which is..THE FUTURE. Which is actually a bit dull. After finishing my film, (and finding a summer job) i'll be concentrating on getting this degree show sorted. I am dreading the task of having to put everybodys work together (and pitying the computer which has to try and handle it), on what will be the most epic of Adobe Premiere editing timelines. We are planning to advertise it soon, so you'll most likely hear about it on here. In fact...
If any one is around those venues, come check us out. Especially if you happen to be a studio looking for a happy-go-lucky animator, with a love for music video and a specialism is stop-motion. *winks*
I'm trying to think of any significant news that has occured since January but...events are far and few between! I was graced with the company of The Honourable Claud of Cardiffshire in April for an awesome weekend. There are pictures documenting this, but they're on Facebook and i'm a bit lazy. I also saw my lil' sis off to the sunny shores of Mexico for her gap year. That was kind of sad, but from her LJ reports, it sounds like she's been having the time of her life, and that is good. Isaac was seen multiple times and (shock, horror) he dragged his high n' mighty arse down to the pits of Hull.
Oh wait, something has happened over the past few months. Something horrible and twisted. I've slowly becoming addicted to shopping. To be fair, my cheap-ass thrifty self is only really picking up sale items, but there seems to be a never-ending scout for them. It's relentless! I place my blame solely on thehighstreet. If only there were some good musical releases out soon, to distract me from fashion. HOLD THE PHONE! BJORK'S NEW ALBUM IS COMING MAY 7TH! It will be amazing, and i will watch her play Glasto on the tv and lick the screen with deep, obsessive love.
Right, um..i can't think of much else to say. I'm going to go sleep now.
P.S. My film isn't online yet, but will be soon. Until then, here are a few stills (ignore the pre-green screened face of the monster).
