Whirlwind of Film
So... Watched The Hulk this weekend.... HATED it! :/ Worst editing I've seen in a long time and I watched student films for several hours this weekend! I could have lived with the effects and even the really unsympathetic characters were it not for the editing.
But, much like Shrub, I've fallen off my Segway. So... Backing up to student films, I segway to my student films! (See what a nice topic transistion that was?)
So.. I went to the student film guild thingy on Saturday. They chose about the ten best films submitted and played them for us. I'll try not to get too full of myself here but... They opened the show with 'Wirehead: Physics' and played a rough-cut of 'Free as a Bird' as the next to the last piece. I was the only person to have two submissions get played. *^_^*
I also listened to people talking in the hall after the show and two or three people identified 'Free as a Bird' as their favourite of the films played that evening. (I didn't identify myself, I was just ease-dropping. :) Geepers!
So um... If you see my head floating in the clouds, lasso it and haul it back down. I need it to do more work this evening! I'm way behind schedule on WireHead's Revenge The editing for 'Free as a Bird' took all night Friday (though worth it to learn After Effects) but anyhow, due to a lack of sleep and a couple glasses of 'Cheap Red Wine' (that was the label on the bottle) I passed out and didn't wake up until about 12:30 the next day.
Then I went shopping with Stacey to buy her some sunglasses and get myself a new Wacom tablet. Ultimately, I talked myself out of buying the tablet until we return from our trip and my dental stuff is taken care of. But now I see the new G5s are finally out and I have something else entirely to lust for.
At any rate, I didn't get to start animating until about 9:30 last night. :/ I've done about 30 seconds of animation and at that most of the 'hard' stuff. The next set of shots is mostly lipsynches and matching motions. It should go reasonably quick (with any luck) Still. Looking tight for finishing by tomorrow.
