Where I've been lately...

Where I was:

Not to put too fine a point on it, these last few weeks have been terrible so far as my school work is concerned. There is almost nothing that I'm willing to post here right now, not without some heavy editing.

Things got a little tight after I decided to apply for a job... that needed a custom portfolio, especially since it was finals the next week. And then finals themselves were a bit too much to handle. My chances aren't looking great for the job, but I'll know for sure by tomorrow (later today really), and I'll update you guys on that (sooner if I get it, and later if I don't).

Anyway, I spent the weekend getting settled in, though there's still a fair amount of unpacking to take care of. My dad's birthday is tomorrow, and that'll be fun. I got him some cool things, though since one of them is in French, I'm not sure how he'll take it.

I saw Real Steel a few days ago, I can't recommend it enough! I enjoyed it so much more than a lot of movies recently. From just the trailer, I thought it was going to be terrible, but it was a huge surprise.

Where I am:

I'm currently finishing up one of my finals, since it was largely unfinished. It's a storyboard animatic of Bill Cosby and one of his Noah skits. I won't really be able to put the audio version on Youtube since the sound-clip is copyrighted, but I'll see about putting a captioned version up when I'm finished.

Also, I'm working on storyboarding an original sequence based on J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan. I'm not sure about the title at the moment, but it's about Peter finding a lost boy. It's supposed to take place before Peter takes Wendy to Neverland. It should last about two and a half minutes all together, and I'm going to look into getting someone to make a short music track for it.

Other than that, senior films. I got way behind on them during the quarter, the sheer class workload came as a huge surprise. It'll be mostly layouts, background concepts, and I'll be working on clean-up storyboards.

That's about all I have planned for now. My other projects aren't forgotten, they just are more demanding in every respect and I want to get some more manageable projects done before I bother with them. There's almost nothing in my portfolio at the moment, and I'm starting to get concerned.


That about wraps it up. I'll be posting some tentative character designs soon for the Peter Pan shortly, so keep an eye out.

Toodles!
