Journal #3

What is the title of your piece?
I've been working under the title of One Good Day since I first came up with the idea of this animation, but recently I've been thinking of switching the title to Go For It. Whether or not the name change happens or not is still up in the air.

What technical questions do you have today?
Just need to figure out a way to simplify perspective in Photoshop. An idea I had was to make a grid and then use the perspective transform tool to make quick guidelines.

What "babies" might you need to kill?
I'm still hoping on not having to cut too many corners from here on out. My work ethic has improved since the start of the project so I get more work done, but there are still a few things that I may have to drop here and there. For one, I might not have enough time to find an appropriate piece of background music, so my piece will be a little silent. Animation wise, I'm going to be exploiting a few holding shots and simple animation on a few other shots. I'm also going to switch over to using the pencil tool in Photoshop so coloring can be done quickly and I won't have to cut that out.

--------------------------

What will be complete by lunch time?
A few more backgrounds, hopefully.

What will be complete by 3 PM?
If all goes well, I can get started on the rough animations today.

Journal #2

Long time no post.
I've been stressed, depressed, and a number of other things, making working on anything a chore in and of itself. Really didn't get anything done over spring break and have been an anxious nervous wreck during and since then.
Right now, there's just too much to do. Not just for this class, that alone would be easily doable, but the accumulation of the work and stress from every other class plus things from life as well, has just become too daunting to take care of by myself. So I'm enrolling in counseling and academic counseling to try and get things in order. Here's hoping that will actually help.
