MondayI started my first animation on the song The story of tonight (reprise) Song can be found HERE There is over 1400 slides for this song. I have stated the sketch of the animation but noting more then that for now. I plan to sketch out the whole song today and hoping to get that done by tomorrow. I think it's coming out real good so far. The lip sync I think matches with the song almost perfect. Ill add a pitchers here. At the end of the week ill add a link to a video showing a process over the week. Meaning like ever day ill take a video of the animation and then add it together to show how many days it takes to do each. TuesdayI have gotten more into the animation. I feel good on how it looks so far. I hope it looks even better when I add the full body. I can have a hard time doing that part of the animation. I'm not the best when it comes to body part. Especially hands I am very bad at hands. But at the moment the hands are just stubs. As you can see from the video and photos from today and Monday. WednesdayI got a bunch done in class today due to the time he gave us. I have a hard time at home because I just can't sit down and do it. I get annoyed and tired when I'm at home doing it. I can't say why really I just do. But at school I have the motivation to do it. While I'm not close to being half way done with the sketch I believe I will be by Sunday hopefully before that day. This first week has gone by way faster then I though it would. It has hit me that I don't have as much time as I though I would. But that does not mean I'm gonna give up on doing more then one animation. ThursdayI haven't added a whole bunch today. I was busy with school work and some other things. I am getting frustrated with myself. I start to work but then lose then motivation to work. I have to stop or else ill mess everything up. I wish I could just sit down and do it. But I'm hopping to do more over the weekend when I don't have to worry much about school an homework. FridayAgain I didn't get as much as I wanted. I'm not even half way done with the sketching of the animation. I am getting mad at myself but I can't let that stop me. This weekend I'm going to have to sit down and work even if I don't want too. I told myself that each animation would take 2 weeks at most. I am going to end up going pass that if I don't try harder. I plan to this weekend and next week. I might end up taking more time but I'm hopping not to. Saturday and SundayOver the weekend I was able to get some work done. I was busy this weekend so it wasn't as much as I wanted or planed to do. But I am getting closer and closer to the middle of the song. While there is many slides the song goes by fast making the animation faster as well. For example one for of the song might take 200 slides but only be a few words said. It's a little hard to explain but you can see what I mean in the video of my work over this week! Over the weekend I felt happy with what I had I think it looks good. I'm excited to see the end of this animation, I'm hopping it looks as good as the sketching. Video----HEREOver allI am happy with what I have this week but it would be nice if I got more done. This week I plan to do way more! Unless something comes up but other then that I plan to get pass the half way mark pr even done with the sketching part. Hopefully this wont take more then 3 weeks. I know I said that I would try to make each animation take 2 but as I can see I thought this would take way less of a time frame. But that's OK, you learn as you go and move things around to make sure everything gets done.
This week in itself has been stressful. I had many test and just didn't think much about the animation. So I started to get mad at myself and the animation. One big thing that made me so upset was I would start working then get unmotivated. I would end up having to stop working in all because if I didn't I would mess up or it would just look bad. This was and still is a big problem with me. Music does seem to help but that only does so much, same goes for watching or having a movie plying while I work. My brain just seems to shut off when I try to work at home. Working at school is a whole different story. When I work on it in class I get a lot done, my brain just go into psycho mode. I don't understand this a whole bunch but I think it has to do with were I am. Being at home I know I don't have work and I can sleep but at school I have work and can't just sit around. I can also see it as being I'm tired after school and just don't want to do more work then what I have too.
