Nina's Art-n-Stuff

I don't know what I'm s'posed to do Haunted by the ghost of you Take me back to the night we met

I'm finding that losing an old friend makes you reflect on the beginning and all the years in between. We were both so young and knew so little. It's absurd and pointless but sometimes I wish I could go back to the beginning and be an even better friend to you then. But look how far we came - despite my early fumblings.

A little video for my final project in After Effects class! Went into it without a clear idea beyond “animal character, environment... After Effects???” But I’m really happy with how it turned out. Somewhere near the 11th hour I realized, “OH, this could be the start screen of a made-up video game!” And now I want to play this made-up video game. Drat.

They’re aliiiiive! An artsy alpaca and a “mean girl” ocelot. Characters created for an assignment that have proven useful for lots of other exercises!

7 Comfort Films

Woke up, saw the tag, immediately had to do this because: perfect procrastination! YAY.

Most of my favorite movies fall into the comfort category because I don’t really like to be challenged or upset by my entertainment, hahaha. And I had to rule out certain choices that might seem like they’d be comfort movies for me (namely: The Lion King) because they cause me to ugly cry on every viewing. These 7 movies only make me cry a LITTLE.

1. Practical Magic 2. Away We Go 3. Legally Blonde 4. Forgetting Sarah Marshall 5. Little Women (1994 PLEASE) 6. 13 Going on 30 7. When Harry Met Sally

Honorable Mention: Wet Hot American Summer, Clueless, The Princess Diaries

And of course I’mma do the BONUS, 7 comfort TV shows, because that is much easier for me:

1. Gilmore Girls, forever and ever, to the point of absurdity 2. Friends 3. Parks and Recreation 4. Grand Designs 5. The Mindy Project 6. Portlandia 7. Dawson’s Creek, as of this year

If it’s not clear: I like light, fluffy, funny stories. Not too much death or drama these days. I do love animation but it’s hard for me to watch it in the background/without a lot of feelings. 

One is silver, the other’s gold
