Wow I haven't updated...

So to follow My brother in a fun little venture of reviewing this year up till now.
So let's see... oh where oh where did I leave off.. Oh! Shovelove haha...yeah.. Well we made it!
It was the longest weekend of my life and about the fastest I've ever lost any weight. But I won't trade it for the world nor the people who made it happen. As for now it is an on going process of getting the film put together bit by bit. The editing process so slow, because...well for the most part it is me. See not like the school backed projects like Advanced Productions, Independent study films have to find their own crew and facilitate their own post-production crew which is very hard seeing it is the school season now and everyone has a million other projects (including yours truly) to worry about. But yeah... That's coming along...
VFX for Dennis Yeap's Film, From The Ashes, were finally locked and I will say I am truly happy with some of the work, possible reel pieces?? But yes... Moving right along this is looking to be a pretty lively year. I'm talking a wopping 4 classes, however, all extremely intesnive into my Digital Arts Major. I feel more and more like an actual artist as a creep away to my dark and dreary cave in the back of my apartment and sit before a glowing screen for hours at hand without any real human contact. Life is good...kinda. But I do feel the conflict of interests as I slave away at my work and feel suddenly so cut off from the 9 other people essentially living with me. Think to myself what am I doing here in front of this computer screen all day when I could be outside breathing the fresh air, or conversing and having marry ol' time with the cohorts of my apartment. But as I come to this realization and break my longing gaze from the glowing outline of my shut door to the bustling sounds outside and turn to my computer screen and see the beautiful images I've slaved over and marvel and what I have created and brought from my mind into a living space. Then I realize I'm being a sappy emo bitch and hit render and bounce off towards the party to only wonder back incredibly intoxicated to find I misplaced a key frame and have to render all over again...FML
ALl and all I'm beginning to find my nitche in this crazy world, a passion you could say for what I'm doing and where it all fits in. I can see the means to an end I hope to fulfill someday and realistic goals that..well are realistic to say the least.
So as I hammer away at my sorry attempts to become a better 2d artist and 3d master, and wrap my brains around the inner workings of both the animated and live action mediums while some how finding the time to work on developing a video game pitch for my next level design class and maybe stumble into an editing bay and sit as AVID laughs at my failed attempts to edit my first live action short...all I can say is life is a mother fucking mystery, "Meh."
