It was in my head!

My growing pile of animation - and my animation desk in the background.

(My Studio - aka the guest room I have taken over with my mess.)

Just a quick post here to update on the last few days . . .

REPLACEMENT SCENE 4: I made an animatic of Scene 4 last Friday and sent it to Will who got back to me about it on Monday. The animatic still felt too complicated to him . . so he suggested I play it to some friends and get their thoughts . . and as Tanya and Hendy were both on gchat at the time I targeted them both – but they were both kindly willing to help. Thanks guys! :)

I had to email Hendy stuff to contextualize it all as he is not a BDMer . . but with Tanya I had a good discussion and she came up with an edit that could work. I just have to try it now.

Hendy is yet to get back to me because he just pointed out that I had sent him an email without the attached files . . so I re – sent them again this morning. :P

ANIMATION: The last two days have been really good. REALLY GOOD. Last week I had things slide somewhat with my attention being drawn to the paper etc. And admittedly, not being as focused as I should’ve been.

Anyway, Monday . . . I really surprised myself. I had had to work that morning from 7-12pm but then after I got home and had some lunch and tackled my inbox (which I am strangely no longer addicted to … if anything, I’m starting to resent it) I sat down to draw and drew FORTY SIX frames . .. that’s like what I would hope to accomplish in a regular day. So I proved to myself I can juggle work and this project. I really can . . . I’m thinking a lot of my feelings of being overwhelmed are in my head.

In the last two days I’ve caught up on 4 days of work . . . now I just gotta keep on top of it.

Oh yeah, I finished Scene 2 yesterday . . . that’s a pretty good feeling too.

I don't doubt I'll crawl into another rut somewhere down the track but the thing is .. whether I do or not, it's not the end. Argh . .. me and my motivational speakerish ramblings . . I'm just happy about where I'm at at the moment. :)
