the week’s summary
meh.
i haven’t been able to write much since i’ve been pleasantly busy. pleasantly busy except of course for that one time i got frustrated while i was trying to animate one of our IB exercises. would you believe that the assistant trainer actually had us animate someone bowing in the 3/4 view? so everything about the person’s face had to CHANGE. our trainer admitted that back when he was a trainee all they had to do was draw circles resembling a human body bowing in sideview.
but apart from that initial frustration, everything else is going great. our trainer taught us a couple of tricks, which HELPED. XD i realized that i’m not the fastest worker in the batch. thankfully, i’m also not the slowest. it’s a humbling feeling, but it also inspires me to work harder. speaking of working harder, our next exercise is a killer. imagine someone roughly resembling a human frog in a sweatsuit with a shoulder bag exagerratedly running, teetering, jumping, and finally landing in a pseudo-martial arts stance. we have to do about 12 frames of IB work on that one. i’m just thinking about it and my dominant hand cramps up. -__-0 i’m wondering if the assistant trainer hates us for some reason. then again, this is actually a very good thing; we’re definitely being prepped to be competent IB animators. heheh. >:)
i’m coping well with commuting to and from work everyday. i guess the long weekends helped to ease me into the routine. i’m still wishing for a more comfortable way to get to megamall at least, because it’s tiring to walk from the colorum to the mrt station in ayala, and then from the station back to the colorum at the end of the day. better than the bus, i guess. ^_^0 and i also get a bit of exercise. which is good…i think. -___-0
BY THE WAY, i heard a rumor that Disney got rid of its 2D division and just stuck to 3D. BAD MOVE. you’re getting rid of 2D when it was the very thing that started you off in the first place? why? because 3D is "the next step"? i’m not dissing 3D stuff, because 3D is good (and there’s Advent Children), but to completely disregard 2D animation is a mistake. Toei went digital to bring out even better 2D animation. 2D has a magic to it that 3D hasn’t been able to top. 3D has merits that 2D doesn’t, and that little equation works both ways, boys and girls. don’t diss 2D. we’re here to stay, and we’ve gone digital. >:)
that’s all for now from this raving lunatic. XD
