Tired Feeling Never Enough

The finish line is approaching and the view is a bit terrifying.

I didn’t exactly get done everything that I wanted…….

My goal, wish, deadline, was that everything would be animated by today so there would only have to be clean-up and color correction/lighting.

……yeah, no.

Instead I was completely un-inspired to work on the scenes needed for the longest time, but I still got a lot of sh--stuff done for this week. Mostly I went to some of the ‘done’ scenes and did some lighting or background corrections.

That is NOT to say things didn’t get done that had to be.

The leaf scene (which my advisor said to keep) got backgrounds and most of the proper dog motion. (People still need to be added.)

I got more of the pool scene put together.

And I did my best to have no board drawings showing for this week.

Okay, that didn’t quite happen. 

There is still drawings for Shop Rite and the end of the Obstacles scene…….

The Puppy Raiser exterior isn’t yet made…….

Then animation wise:

-The obstacles scene still needs the pole that she hits her head on. And a small scene at the end of her glaring at Kramer is needed.

-The Raiser Training Meeting needs work. Period.

-The scene where he leaves his boy is comically blocked in but obviously needs love.

-Background character animation is needed in several places.

…Alright, I’ll admit that when it’s listed like that it isn’t the most encouraging…..

But a lot of stuff also got made for this week, see!

Now there was a little hiccup in the past week with music:

It’s late Sunday night and I still hadn’t received the 2nd draft of the music which I should have gotten on Saturday so I shoot the composer an email.

She responds that the 2nd draft isn’t due till the 15th but she can send me what she has on the revision and will send something more clean in the morning.

I get the new rough soon after but felt compelled to tell her that 2nd was due the 8th and the final draft is the 15th.

There was a bit more words, but what it boiled down to was that she basically got the dates between my deadlines with her and the ones she has with a class mate. I guess that’s what happens when a few of you use the same person……

It worked out fine since I got the music. Like I said, a hiccup.

Oh, as a treat I’ll leave you this.

Sometimes, when I remember, I screen record as I work so I have material for a making-of video. For now I spend this up and threw on a temp song. (Music is absolutely NOT mine - from the anime show Haikyuu!!)

So there you have it people. Only 2 weeks left and we’re hitting the gas full throttle here on out!
