Steph Walter's Junior Thesis

hi! I just want to let everyone know that this blog was only for documenting my junior thesis film. If you want to keep following me, please go to @swaltersart!!

I’m finally done with this film.  I may have mentioned that I submitted to the MICA animation festival and I’m sad to say I was declined. (though I’m not surprised) No one can see how hard you worked, how many hours you slaved over something, how difficult it was to meet a deadline, etc. They can only see your finished product. My finished product looks like a glorified slideshow despite the 200+ hours I poured into it. There are a lot of things I should have done differently. I should have made a shorter film, I should have used a simpler idea. That way I could have focused on quality and clarity rather than just finishing it by any means necessary. Because of my poor judgement, my other finals are going to suffer. I feel like this film was all for nothing, but it wasn’t.  it was GOOD that I made this mistake now and not senior year.  And my film isn’t worthless, even though it didn’t get accepted to a festival and regardless of the grade it gets. I still intend to use it in my webcomic when I finally get around to it, and then it will have plenty of context.   In the end I’m sad but I know it was for the better that it ended up like this.

I FINISHED MY THESIS and I will upload the whole thing once I can get it up on youtube I submitted to my school’s film festival. Im nervous about it, but the festival is next friday 

I ONLY HAVE 20 SECONDS (8 scenes) LEFT TO DO!!!!
