Another Week

so I haven't started the work of art yet, oh well. I haven't completed more work on my animation, oops. I don't know I've been in a sort of awkward rut and I need to get out of it as soon as possible. So that's really it. There's a long break coming up maybe I'll get some work done then...but I doubt it. This is depressing.

The big day

I went to my screening today at the Whistell Auditorium and I have to say it was really something seeing my film on a big screen instead of on my little computer screen. Then afterward there was a panel with the judges and some indipendent filmmakers. What I definitley got out of that was them saying that I had to love this to get what I wanted out of it and that I would have to clean some toilets along the way and that was a literal expression.

Also more big news:

After I finish Between Gentleman I'm switching to a new animation program! That's right because Flash is giving me so many problems and is malfunctioning to the point where working around these unsolvable errors is pointless. So now I'm going with Toon Boom Studio! Toon Boom Studio is an amazing program and although it isn't the king of the internet media, Flash's domain, it's still a for more impressive animation software and is more geared toward what I want to do, which includes exporting high quality quicktime videos (time to play catchup on that Flash) that I can put on DVD's and not have to say "close enough" but instead "perfect that's what it supposed to sound and look like!", much better I agree. Also it has this cool 3d camera tool in the program that's super confusing but I can't wait to figure it out eventually I'll figure out the program and my next short will be better because of it.

Also I'm uploading this trailer I found for a film that uses the same program I'm now using plus other Toon Boom programs. I believe it's like a ten thousand something receipt for just the programs. It's called Chico&Rita and it doesn't have a US release date yet.
