time to learn

This is an odd question, what can be done differently to help me learn more, what helps already, and what hurts me.

During class it’s always great to see some work by professionals that inspires me do think of new ways of making something etc.. When our teacher shows us really cool technical aspects of software were not too familiar with is a big help. Although most of the stuff we would need to learn can’t be done in the class room I don’t think unless we were in a computer lab all the time, doing exercises together etc..

I’m not too keen on most things that are hurting me, maybe pointless stuff we may already know but that’s about it, the only big thing that can hurt me in the class room is myself, being sleepy or just zoned out not paying any attention which happens sometimes.

I’m not too sure what can be done to change things. Like I said most of the work is on me because we know this field changes every year and it’s hard for one curriculum to keep up with all the new happening and things that make it awesome.  Hopefully I will keep my right foot forward and keep learning more and more. I’m already blessed being able to use all the equipment and things of that nature for our work, because one day I will not be able to use most of this stuff, then I will have to buy all the crap with my own money, which will suck really really bad. 

omg film 1...

Film one was fun and a huge learning experience for me. Simon was right you can do things very fast, but it’s bad when you wait till the last couple of days because once you have completed it, you can’t go back and change anything.

This was my first animation, ever… While it’s easy to see why ha. I’m pretty sure my characters were received well, whether they were spleens, livers, hearts, or whatever anyone wants to call them. They story line in my opinion was the best part of my film, because it’s obvious what’s going on, girl leaves the guy he cries. I wouldn’t do too much different with this film. I would definitely take much more time with it, adding more elements and making things much more smooth in the future. So the characters won’t look like they are skating across the screen etc..

My next film I am very excited about it because I’m not procrastinating and it just stop animation with a risk set. Which is awesome, not many computer elements involved except uploading images and putting them into after effects. Although this may be the most tedious project I ever do it’s simple and straight forward. Picture more character picture move character picture move character so on and so on. This makes me extremely happy and I can’t wait to see the result of my work! 

practice makes perfect

When it comes to my work, practice is important. If it’s true what they say, to become professional at anything you much complete over 10,000 hours of your art or whatever you do.  THAT’S CRAZYY!!! But hey let’s face it, nothing is easy and it would be a shame for someone to just jump in a be great, although that can happen sometimes.

                Usually practice for me is kinda different most of the time I don’t consider it practice, practice is me sitting playing guitar trying to learn song and running through scales. Practice for media is much different. I like to sit and find a neat tutorial online and usually following it, open up some more options for my own work, and other than that playing in photoshop just to doodle on different things or just making people’s faces look funny

                Its really hard to explain what I do, I could just post a ton of links to different tutorials I have done, or say I Practice 4 hours a day drawing straight lines with the TRACK PAD, but that would be a lie. So in the end I love this work and try to work with something different daily, from working on my website to trying to recreate some sick thing I’ve seen online, tv, etc… Word to ya brother.
