Left highly entertained.

No work

I'm proving to be really bad at doing my work this semester. It is all still perfectly doable I just have to give up my social life over the next two weeks. Just to make sure I'm up to date again.
I would love to get on with my work now but my laptops fan is on the verge of breaking down, which will leave my internal hardrive fried. I can't take this risk for my external hardrive is partially dying and needs reformatting on the computers at Uni (because I can't remember how to do it through windows). So once again I don't really have anything to show Ros and I should kick myself for it.

Plan to get my life back on track:

1. Redo the bodies of my souls as the 4 hours I spent doing them Friday have been wasted, they won't be riggable. GOD DAMN not getting things right the first time.
2. Go to my lectures and actually listen.
3. Book a Marrantz.

This should get me started. Then Tuesday I can own Maya.

Oh my Lightscribe discs came today so I might give that a try tomorrow too. I already have the designs.

Movs from the end of last semester

Madder Mortem

Madder Mortem (Where Dream and Day Collide) from Christian Ruud on Vimeo.

Another excellent example of Maya, After Effects and Photoshop.

Line

Line- Movie from Ludo Rami on Vimeo.

I like the style of this, not so much the story. It has a deeper meaning than is first on teh surface but I find that it doesn't have enough traction to be interesting and eye grabbing. The style and the way things fade in and out are brilliant though. Very dream state.

Made my day.

Website planning

This sort of explains things nicely in terms of getting a website up and running. I haven't got a clue.
EASY SITE GUIDE

Presentation

Is it acceptable to make a scene in which the video would be shown on a wall? For example, two big cardboard trees. Making the scene in the room 3D as well as the film.
PLANNING

What I would give...

...to see this. Love how the music works with the climatic shots. This is what I want for my work.

Timescale

So I made a timescale this week for this semester. Admittedly, I should have done this last week but I didn't and now it is a little messed up. Since we're not allowed in the labs at the weekend I am behind already. My laptop just can't cope with Maya.

Not even sure it can cope with streaming videos on youtube anymore.

So instead of working on fixing my models this week like it says I should I have completed my sketches for my credits and just need to edit them in photoshop on monday morning. Then they're complete. So that gives me an extra couple of days leading up to DVD construction. I've not just done nothing.

SOUND STUFF

Gee look at me. My least favourite part of digital media. Wanting this track.
et_ - Kopeika



Maybe this:
Alastair Cameron - Gentle Marimba


This song would obviously be most awesome. BUT tough luck.
James Newton Howard - Fairy Dance

BAHHH

and the semester begins agaiiiiin. If only my computer hadn't been removed from the labs with all my work on.
