Finals

Cannot believe that it's almost been four months already since the beginning of this semester. I guess I was just having too much fun.. haha.. I wish.

I'm drained. physically, mentally. Well.. just played some pretty heated bball games earlier tonight, so maybe not so much physically. Waking up's been getting pretty hard lately though.

As I've mentioned before, we began working on our final projects a couple of weeks ago. I'm pretty scared.

I nailed some concepts for my super 8 short film, montage, and sketching storyboards.. still trying to think of a narrative for my animation project. What's gonna be nerve-wracking about the super 8 final is waiting for a week to get our film back from the processing lab. On top of that-- our class has seen some processed film that came out all black... so that better not happen. Two rolls of 8mm film, each holding only two minutes of total run time-- for a two minute short. I'm gonna make my actors rehearse 50 times before a shot.

As for my edit 1 montage-- I'm hoping to use a track from the hydeout productions 2nd collection album; that'd be great. I'm definitely tripping about my sketching storyboards, cause I simply just can't draw. And to find out recently that those storyboards are gonna be worth 80% of our grade.. just pretty much nullifies any other project I've worked on before week 10.

Not really sure what to say about my animation narrative. I've been finding myself become more and more annoyed with that class. I don't hate it or anything-- it's good. But just like sketching, animation is not my thing. It's interesting how AAU starts off any photography, mpt, fine art (etc) student with two classes that has to be unrelated to our majors. I guess it's kind of neat in a way.. when I see myself enjoying using the nikon fm10's, kinoflex cameras, and final cut pro software over photoshop, after effects, and a pencil-- it definitely confirms that I should be an MPT student.


alright.
