yeah! here's the video. I'm still unsure of the final product, but at the same time I recognize that I could pick out dozens of tiny things that annoy me- that I tell other people and they say "huh? what?" So this has been keeping me from outwardly advertising this project. I'm not sure if I want to be known for mixing mediums like this. I feel sort of like isolating the animated segments and just uploading those by themselves, with no narration or video.

Alas! this is the final product, and I'm going to stop talking about it. Here are some stills from the space I was in:

Now I'm gonna go work on other things~~ yeeeeeeeeyyyyyy

Thesis is done

and I'm absolutely sick of it. I'm not even going to think about this project for the next week or so. I'll post up the video after the show- by then I'll probably have a thousand edits in mind that I want to make and will be able to do so before letting the world wide innernets have their way with it. I don't suspect anybody who looks for animation/video work to come perusing through MIAD on friday, so hopefully they won't see/hear a lot of the rushed jobs that will be playing haha.

Anyways, enough loathing. After doing this project, I think I've realized how little confidence I have in my serious work. I stopped working on a lot of things in the wake of thesis, and a lot of times I noticed how genuine I wanted the animated segments of the show to be. I think I'm going to be spending a lot of time on music and comics again, now that this is over. Those are some things I've been holding very closely for fear of them not being good enough.

Blahh I'm so tired.

Almossssst There!

Yesterday, I kind of took the whole day off from school/work to shoot all the rest of the footage I needed for this project. My friend Sam came over and was kind enough to put up with my disjointed thought processes and help work the cameras. I think we only shot for around an hour and a half or so... this was one of the first shoots where I wrote down everything I wanted to get on camera, just because there were a few specific interactions I wanted to have with the story/narration. The more in-depth narration I still have to record, but that won't be hard. That just involves watching the animations and speaking into a recorder about what is happening. 

The exhibition space is nearly done too! I've got a few pictures from over the weekend when I had started setting up

Keep in mind, I have this whole room to myself. Since these pictures were taken, I set up the rest of the miniatures and a few other pictures (and a wonderfully bad looking rug). I have the next few days to edit the entire video togetherrr :U so that's going to pretty much be priority #1. I'm still trying to get a goofy looking chair set up in the space, but we'll see how that goes. Otherwise there are a few other small parts of the set I'll be bringing in soon. YAYAYYAYAYYY it's almost done! I can die in peace soon!

ps. I made this one night a couple of weeks ago because reasons.
