FINALY!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I FINALLY FINISHED IT! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I'm too happy. Okay I know perhaps there's gonna be a nitpick but most importantly isw I did my best. And I FINISHED ITTTT!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! I'm sorry I'm just too happy. I'm quite proud of what I did. Hehe. Hopefully those who watch will enjoy my animation as well!!
It has been a very tiring and stressful weekend. Actually I'm quite surprise that I can finish this because during the weekend I have been quite busy with other stuff as well. But you know after doing my personla stuff, I stayed up late to do finish this project. Hehehe. I guess the hard part for this is the music. I'm really not a music person so it is quite a challenge for me. I hope that the music in my final piece isn't weird. Yeah.
Okay now I gotta get ready for my presentation! WISH ME LUCK!!!!

STRESSS

I thought that i am going to finish it by last week but I guess I didn't. And I am going crazy soon. I have been doing this particular scene ever since Saturday and it doesn't turn out good which means I have to redo it. AAAARRGGHH!!! I don't know why I;m taking longer than usual to animate. I have been feeling restless and unmotivated. It's really not the kind of feeling you want to have. I have been forcing myself really hard to do my work. On top of that, I have Character Design to worry about. Why can't p3 be a module of it's own? I'm sorry for whining and complaining. I just need to let it out so that I feel better. Besides that feeling of unmotivated-ness, I have been feeling so tired lately. Tired and sleepy. Work work work all day. But you know it's fine because Monday is submission. I will be able to finish it by then no doubt about it. Yes confidence. I need my holiday!!! OKay right now I have to goback to work. I just hope I am able to finish 3 scenes by today and then I'm only left with 1 more scene to go and Im done! Oh yeah music and fixing old scenes. But is fine. One step at the time.

Presentation which I present

So I presented today...It's a very looong presentation. I was the last one to present. I'm not sure if I presented well enough because I didn't hear a good comment like 'Your progress is good' or 'I think you're character is nice' or whatever. Okay I don't really need the comment but it would be nice to hear those especially I admit I colored most of my scenes and my animaton isn't all that bad. Anyway, I didn't get bad comment also, only some things that needs to be change. Oh well...I take it as everything is fine then. Here are the things that I need to change:
  1. Makri's bedroom window needs to be bigger and lower.
  2. The inside of his bedroom needs to be darker than the outside so that it doesn't look like a picture frame (yeah it still looks like a picture frame)
  3. The leaves of the tree should move a bit so that it doesnt look stagnant and all.
  4. Atun's shadow should be lighter and not so distinct. Amanda said shadow need not be there can be done with just fruits dropping. I dunno what I'm gonna do for this part.
  5. Should have a little bit of monkey sound when ATun is stealing the fruits.
  6. The walk cycle. I cant run away from it I know that's why the walk cycle scene is not finish.
  7. When Makri shot Atun, the branch should fall so that it doesn't look so violent with the blood on ATun's lower breast. Hahahah!
  8. Ermm... what else..oh yeah the part when Makri saw Atun's shadow in the house. I dunno what I'm gonna do about this scene. Some said don't need the shadow some said shadow is fine. Arrghh but I think what jarrold suggested was quite good. He said there should be a silhoette of the window so that the monkey dont look like it's inside the house. Yeah right now, because of the shadow, Atun looks like she's inside the house. SO I think I will do what Jarrold suggested.
  9. Okay what else omg so many to change ah...hmm....oh that's all haha alot to change but at least minor. Phew!
Okay let's talk about the presentation. Yes it's a looooonnngggg draggy presentation with lots of comments and opinion. OKay what do I like?? Hmm... I can't seem to remember....I think Tri's one wa quite nice. Much clearer and better than the last time one. Her Abeeku is nice I like it her background is nice too. SHe needs to make minor changes. Hmm.... Oh yeah Yi Chuin's one was quite nice I think. But I would like to say something about her character. I just realised it now. I think it looks like the character we did for our Go Green CDI project I don't know why. I'm just saying. I feel that there's a bit of biasness as well. She only did one scene that is colored and she got the most praise. I mean her character is nice and all but I didn't even hear at least an 'I think you should work faster.' sentence when clearly she needs to. No offence but it's the fact. I dunno it's just me. There are others who did more who deserves the praise. Call me picky but I'm just voicing out. Okay so anyway, I really Vivien's one! Omggosshh her color is really nice. Now that is what I call a 'YOUR CHARACTER IS REALLY REALLY NICE!' GO VIVIEN! AWESOME WORK! Though you didn't get that many praise but I'm praising you !!GO GO GO! I REALLY LOVE IT! I've said enough. I hope there isn't any riot after what I've said. Like what I said before and I shall say it again. It's just me.

Presentation but didn't present.

I thought that I was going to present today but there wasn't time for everyone to present today. Oh well I can rest today I've been working since Saturday and I only had 3 hours of sleep last night. So far I have found some of the sound effects and fixed some scenes too other than the last one i posted. The only thing I gotta find now is music.
So far from what I saw, a few of the people did not really color their animatics. Some of their animatics are the same as the last time I saw which was last block. It wasn't colored and there is no sound effect. I hope they can finish it on time. Some of them has nice stories it will be a waste if they did not finish it on time. I like Germaine's one. I think she was one of the fastest one and I like the thunder following the guy. Her characters are really cute. Can't wait to see her finished piece. I also like Gina's style. Her sketchy animation goes well with her story. I thought that it made her story more twisted and eerie. Very Tim burtonised. Which I like.
I also like Dion's main character. But he hasn't colored his part yet. So I can't wait to see his finished piece. Naf is the only one who's doing 3D. I thought that she did quite well for the baby's and cat's expression. For me, 3D is alot of pain so I salute Naf for doing 3D and the blend shapes or whatever they call it. I've seen how she worked and I think she put in alot of effort in it. And I disagree with her part that 2d is much better. Yes 2D maybe it will be easier for some of us but I think that since she excels more in 3D, her piece would be more stand out in 3D. Especially the industry now is more into 3D. Yes I must practice my 3D after having said this.
Lastly, I like Kezia's police guy. His uniform is so cool. Haha. And her slight sketchy background goes well with her story too. I think she succeeded making us cringe and feel grossed out when we see the underwear in her character's mouth. She needs to make a few changes here and there but other than that it's gonna be nice!!
As for me,I hope the presentation goes well tomorrow.
