Cornered

Holy hell. What a week.

So yeah, I didn’t post twice during crit week, because I as too busy trying to get some sort of work together to show for Thursday. And when I did finally manage to get something worth showing, it was pretty much too late in the week to bother posting, as Friday was all life drawing and then taking my mind out of the equation for the weekend. I’ve passed the two tracks by the guys and they seem pretty chuffed with them, so that’s 3 down and 1 to go plus sound FX, which I’m starting work on tomorrow.

Yesterday, I worked exclusively on entertainment design in the sense that we all went through to the BBC HQ in Glasgow’s Pacific Quay to get a tour of the building and an idea of the work they do there. The news started just as we were about to go into the studio, so that was pretty cool. It did, however, mean that we didn’t get to go in, but still. Silver lining, right? Live news, not 10 feet from you. Awesome.

Shame it’s always the same crap.

Today has been character animation, and I’ve had a chat with Gili for the first time this semester. I’ve told him I have the character designs written out, two characters designed on paper, one characters’ sheet completed and storyboards with animatics. He wants to see them on Thursday.

Which means I have to do all of the above in 2 days.

Oh god.

Then again, this means I’ll have caught up with the rest of the class nice and fast, rather then stretching it out for weeks on end.

3D is no where near close. It’s barely started. I need help on this, but its pinning one of the guys from class down so they can go through tutorials with me and get me up to speed in a week. I really hate that module, with all the fiery passion of a supernova. Four more weeks and I never have to deal with it again. I cannot tell you how much that makes me want to dance. It’s awesome.

First things first though. Getting through these 4 weeks, rounding up projects and finding a godamn job at some point in all of it.

More tomorrow…
