Week 19 - Keepinā it Reel
To the maybe one or two people still keeping tabs on here since class ended, hey whatās up! You are a beautiful person, and I thank you for standing by beyond the call of duty. To the rest of you, youāre dead to me. (lol jkjk)Ā So this week I had hoped I could have more to show, but itās proven to be a very distracted one, for reasons I would never have encountered while at school. I alluded to some living space difficulties last week, and the situation has gotten quite a bit hotter since then. Letās just say, someone is probably moving out of my house in the next week or two, but itās unclear yet who is going to be doing the leaving (really hope itās not me.)
On the other hand, I finally got to see Avengers Endgame (wow, what an awesome film I gotta say. A near-perfect conclusion to Phase 3 of the MCU.) I also got a chance to hang out with some of my closest friends who Iāve barely seen in nearly a year. Plus, I got around to shopping at Barnes & Noble to pick up some books Iāve been dying to get all semester but didnāt have space to carry back home with me, had I bought them while I was in my dorm.Ā
I did get a little bit of work done for my animation. Hereās a sneak peak at the first shot of sequence 5 (I may go back and add more to it later):
Iām also itching to get to work on developing some ideas for 420, as well as the first volume of my Talvitra manga series idea (timeās a-waistinā Alex!) Speaking of work, with the uncertain living situation right now, and since my morale is pretty high after 320, Iām thinking maybe itās time I get a ājob job.ā I found a few quaint local animation/motion graphics studios in the area with contract-based job posting beings as recent as one week ago. My skill set is much stronger after this school year, so Iām thinking I may actually have a decent shot at landing one. So Iāve been working on putting together a new animation demo reel that demonstrates a little touch of my most recent (and strongest) body of works. Iāll post it here if anyone wants to check it out: Password is:Ā āgreenā

It sucks to say, but thatās mostly all Iāve got for you this week. Next week ought to have a bit more done for the bonus ending, as I should have more time to focus on my ānon-jobā job - finishing this film! Until then, Iāll see you in roughly 20 cups of coffee from now. This is the Undercover Animator, signing out. (whoosh)
