Again, again and again

Thursday and Friday were almost a repeat of Tuesday and Thursday. Unfortunately.

One day of work, the other, an abandon of schedule. Not that I regret it, per se. This project is important, but there is more to life than this.

On Thursday I was looking through my shot list and realized I forgot to factor in one of the shots. So reluctant to attempt the shot of the Stork playing with the Baby, I spent the day working on the shot I had missed – a shot of the Stork flying from the Baby’s point of view.

I took Althea's advice and got rid of the Stork's chest feathers . . an unnecessary headache!

As flying is a cycle, even though the shot is about 5 seconds (60 frames) I only had to animate 23 as they’d loop. Each drawing took about 20-30 minutes. I’m glad I have a schedule; it makes me push myself a bit harder. I reckon – no, I know I can push myself even harder though . . . I don’t feel like I’ve reached my limits yet.

The cold weather makes me so lazy sometimes (it was 6 degrees outside this morning . . . 6 degrees! That’s a big deal in Sydney! That’s a big deal for my weak, little Australian body! I am typing this with purple fingernails . . and I'm not wearing polish!). I need to have a more disciplined attitude to this all . . . there is a lot to do.
