Flash flash flaaaaaaash

This is my test in flash. It came out really good. I am pretty happy with the results and now I am going to continue trying different stuff. I am pretty confident so far. Mistakes happen, but I should stay on this same determination.

Mexico lost to Argentina. Boo.
Go Germany!

Belated homework

Alright, according to the test I made Tuesday, I need to make sure to see what marks I hit.

Time of production: If I decide to go with this project, I will have to work at least 90 hours on it to make sure the animation is perfect. It will be a lot of work. Hopefully, if I do get the lab time and get 5 hours everyday,and getting a good grip at it while at siggraph...I think I can do it. I have no doubts about my determination. Its a win or lose and time is not on my side. I have to force it to be on my side.

Visual Look: It looks good so far. I like the textures, I have an idea of what the general feel is going to be and its right on target. That makes me insanely happy, because I was a little insecure about this. I have some fixes to make, but this whole weekend will be dedicated to tweaking mistakes and trying other options.

Areas for improvement: VOLUME VOLUME!! and facial expressions. I know what to do and I will figure out a way.

This is my determined journal. Next journal will be uploaded tomorrow for yesterdays homework.

Oh, btw....

Experimenting

So today I tried the paint on glass and it didnt turn out too badly. Checking out what my skills are and how I can use them to help me get over obstacles really seems to help. I had some camera issues to get this done. This is just an experiment, it isnt finished, but I am sure I can make it better.
I am looking forward to working in the animation lab and getting as much work as possible. Hopefully this can happen, but if it doesnt, I have other options that I can work on.
