A different kind of life... living

Since I'm about to start a new sequence I went to the cafe and re-storyboarded it on dis Friday night... there was some music festival going on in the street but none of the bands interest me so I was all meh and walked past it... I walked to the little loft area of the cafe some engineer d00d working on his laptop was all "I'm glad your here...it felt weird being the only guy working up here on a Friday night"... then somebody starting playing music in the cafe... some chick with an ACOUSTIC GUITAR... OH NOW MY INNER CYBER PUNK HATES ACOUSTIC GUITAR MUSIC... its like 2010 in SILICON MUTHAFUCKIN VALLEY yet these chumps are still doin this same old tired thang?! This post is about living another life.... as the life around you has been deemed FAIL by your inner betcHFACE.... Now when normal humans talk about having a "life" what do they mean? Empty meaningless conversations with humans whom you are trying to impress and/or copulate with? A night of drinking

Die old media DIE!

So its great news that Youtube had the ridiculous Viacom suit thrown out of teh court GTFO Viacom! Now its still disconcerting for me to see teh people still wanting to watch teh shows and movies from these old media companies... because I know as long as people stare in they direction and buy they shit... they will exist... Part of this is OUR FAULT the independent creators... we are either too emo or unprofessional to get out stuff out for people to see OR we are making parodies, derivatives or ripoffs of big media shows or films... which the people see as ripoffs or crappy versions of the original giving the original more power... So anyone can see that the old media is losing steam BUT who/what is going to take its place? IF you don't start making things and releasing things today what will people watch tomorrow? They will probably watch reruns of the old media stuff instead... So get up off the floor... smack yer emo, unprofessional self in the face a few times and MAKE S

Many make Slow

So I got back to work today... I had started his sequence before I left... its one of the more complex sets with the most characters and the most complex animation involved so its slow work... there's nothing more frustrating than a slow viewport and slow response time from an app... BUT its kind of unavoidable with super heavy scenes... I use layers and switch off stuff Im not using to speed things up but its still a slow process... I might just animate the characters in they own separate scenes before pasting them back into the main scene... I'll deF have to find a smoother way of working as the slow grind tends to lead to procrastination as my mind is not constantly occupied... I'm also going to think about just doing After Effects 2.5d comp tricks for the background characters and crowd stuff.... been using imG planes with CHaR on them in Mograph cloners but even that tends to get slow with what I'm doing... its like why use 3d chaR if they are blurred out of focus

The final showDOWN!

(Cue DBZ showdown music) So yeh I'm back getting ready for teh final showdown to finish the film... NOW I must come correct as meh homie Juan asked if that %80 included everything... so like no it does not thats only the animation phase which is the LONGEST phase of work for meh.... So once I'm done with the animation I will composite all the shots which will take 1-2 months as well as teh editing process which I will make quick work of... Once I get the music I will be able to start editing as I cannot do it before then.... ideally I would have liked to be editing all along but thangs work out like they does and I has to go wiF the flow if I am to work wif anyone else but myself nah mean? BUT No matter what happens I have backup plans in place to make sure the film is finished when I have planned it to be. An idea... a feeling... a film... only has a certain shelf life or period of maximum relevance or impact I believe... there is a window of time floating in space that it n
