Posts Of Interest

1.) This guy talks about how to draw your own animated short. It's hand drawn, so it's the old fashioned way, but I thought it was interesting.


2.) Here is a semi-animated short made by a youtuber called, swoozie06. I thought it was funny and worth to watch.

I just have to post something so here it goes, & posts of interest will be posted later.
I'm just catching up with flash. So I learned that, but I want to learn more about the tools because I'm still not completely used to it yet. It's kind of annoying.

Well, I'm happy that I rearranged my schedule just a bit. I had to drop my Psychology class, because while it's quite an interesting class & worth some college credits, I feel as though I have enough to deal with and my workload is huge and I just had to drop something.

I'm still frustrated that I'm still behind in some of my classes, especially at Boces. At least I'm starting to catch up. I had to reduce the quality & details since I had to get things done quickly but I'm so not going to worry about that now.

It's raining outside now. If that isn't symbolism for something then I don't know what is.
Ciao.

I Don't Really Have Time To Think Of a Witty Title

Well, I finally got those damn color exercises done... and they suck. Never doing a gradient for a border ever again, going through hoops trying to make it work isn't worth the time nor the energy. So those went horribly.
And now I have to start flash. I'm out of my element now, pfffft.
So now I have to go like the wind to catch up. Ugh.
Everything is so frustrating! I knew that staying home sick would eff my schedule up, and now I'm behind. Damn you stress-induced-48-hour-virus! I hate making work up.
Also regular school is so boring that I hardly feel the need to do anything there anymore. Which isn't good. I have no normal classes, most of it is for college credit and if I frick up now... I don't know. I really hope it isn't as bad as it seems to me.
I just don't see a reason to do stupid regular school projects anymore. I really don't learn anything from it, it wastes time, they're all rather imbecilic. It's BS. I hate doing it. As stressful as Boces can get, it's still interesting. It's not boring.
I hate boring things.
...
I really need to find a way to relax. I can't keep being so stressed, a little stress = good. A lot = bad.
Pfffffffffffffft....
I only have a few minutes so I didn't bother starting my (late) tutorials. I probably would only get two steps done before we had to go. I'm not doing something pointless.
...
Had to run the mile today. I hated it. But I think I'm getting into better shape. My time was 13:33 (Understand I'm Captain Slow) And I was only slightly dead from it. Not completely. Huzzah!
...
So. Much. To do. I'll be the end of me.
Meh, I don't know, I just hope things get better.

Around My Head

Just have to post something quick,
Post of Interest:


It's a Scene from Doctor who and it's Typography, something I enjoy doing fairly much.
I want to learn more about flash. It seems hard, I hope to learn more about it.

Pumped Up Kicks

I almost forgot to do this thing.
Well, apparently I've pushed myself a tad too far Tuesday.
At least to the point of getting horribly ill, which is extremely annoying. The embodiment of complete misery.
On the plus side, I got to catch up on my shows, yay!
Um...
We learned about the colour wheel and all that, what colours looks good with other colours, contrast, triad & all that.
...
I'm leaving now. Ciao.

Rock It.

Well, just something quick before I work on the Ad... thing.
I got my character and flip book done, colored, and on time. Which is something I'm genuinely proud of.
I have to write a bunch of papers for regular school and I really don't want to.
But, what can you do?
Um... Point of Interest:


It's not the sketches, but more basic out line of the whole music video. Not just stills. I thought I was neat, it gives you an insight to how animated music videos are made, or at least a rough idea of it.
Well, I'm off. Kinda don't want to do the Ad, but don't have much of a choice now, do I? Ahahahaha.

Bla-Bla-Bla

I am so incredibly bored at the moment.
No particular reason why, I just am.
My other Pint of Interest:


It's a typography version of Conan O'Brien's speech for when he left the late night. I thought it was really well done.
ALSO point of interest:


Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz. They where the most successful animated band, ever.
I thought it was worth mentioning.
Also, I got new head phones. I'm so happy.

Something Quick

Well, I don't know I just feel like typing.
So, something I'm learned is- drum roll please- The Pen tool in Adobe Illustrator.
Finally, I learned how to use this thing. I've been wanting to so sometime now, like at least two years.
I just never had the program to use it and last year we never really used the pen tool.
Though it's not as impressive as I thought it would be, but I'm still glad I finally learned it.

I want to learn more about Illustrator, I really want to see the kind of things that it's capable of.

I'm a little sad at the moment, my headphones, the ones that go over my ears, are only working on one side. The left one specifically, but I really can't get used to it on only one side. It's like being deaf in the right ear, I hate it, it ain't right.
But good news, I'm going to buy some new ones later today. I suppose I'll just keep these as a spare.

Well, it's a post.

Well, it's Tuesday. What a dull day.
I have a headache, buuuuu.
Well, it's a few days into the school year, first full week of it. I hate the paper work, I really do. Then again, I tend to dislike any bureaucratic work. Well, I only have a few minutes left, how about a point of interest?

If you're a Doctor Who fan, or an anime fan you should check this out. Someone made a short animated version of the BBC's Doctor Who. Well, I thought it was interesting. Must of took forever.
Well, time is gone, talk to you later.
Ciao.

Well... I'm Back.

Aren't we lucky?
So... yeah. I don't really have to write anything till later, but screw it, I'm annoyed.
I swear I don't know why I let my sister handle anything that I own, already lost all of my binders for school. Apparently she doesn't feel inclined to help look for them either. Too busy givin' it away for free.

First day back to school was a clusterf*ck. All of my classes are going to be difficult, now I'm unprepared and needing supplies that I no long seem to have by tomorrow. They dropped my off by the Elementary school, for some unknown reason. No, dropping us off normally would've been far too difficult and chaotic... now trying to find the correct bus while attempting to juggle all my books & binders with no bag & have 100 small children screaming and running around and end up leaving things back at the high school cause no one want to travel 2 miles up a road, that's a good idea.
Pfffffft.
Insufferable oafs, did no one have their shite together?!
I'll admit, I could have done better, but since when was it required to have your supplies on the first damn day back.
I dislike people.
I dislike going to buildings full of people I dislike.
But nothing I can do about that.
Stress... gah, it's going to be the death of me. Honestly. I don't expect to make it through the year, and even if I miraculously come out on top, I have nothing planned for ANYTHING.
Well, you know what, f*ck the buses, I don't care at the moment that they're there for my benefit, I'm walking home. I refuse to go through this bull again. Bus lady tried to kill me last year anyways.
...
Did I mention that I really don't like people?
