Reading is cool.
time to edit & slowly piece together this animation!
Oliver Jeffers Contest: Key Frame Fun!
Let's get this party started!! :D
I usually write in my journal in the morning, but I think I'll do it here instead:
I can't even describe how giddy animating makes me. It's been yeaaars since I've made anything. The last time I used a lightbox was more than a year ago to collabcreate with Rich on a project. Before that... I can't even remember. I think a workshop at Nucleus. I remember enjoying the workshop but also thinking, I don't want to do this for a living. Now, it feels like home. Muscle memory is on my side.
Sometime while I was storyboarding yesterday, the focus shifted from trying to win the contest to just animating a short again for me rather than an awesome trip to London to meet my children's book writer/illustrator hero/role model/best ever, Oliver Jeffers. Yeah. I mean, that would be cool. But I'm just as happy making.
Oliver Jeffers Contest Animatic
I have until midnight this Sunday to finish it. I can do it! Oh brother! I also clearly got tired toward the middle/end :)
A Trip Down Memory/Productivity Lane
Monday, October 04, 2010
I spent some time sifting through books, sprawled out on the floor like a kid flipping through to look at the pictures. It was perfect for getting me in the mood for work.
I spent the rest of the afternoon at the Willow Glen coffee shop where I storyboarded for my Oliver Jeffers contest submission, sketched out more calendar illustrations, and devised christmas cards.
Today was productive & magical. I couldn't ask for more than that really. Now, to do the animatic. I'm on fire!
Consolidation
clearly means nothing to me. I have a journal/sketchbook for every occasion! Ok, ready to bounce & get work done... storyboards, xmas cards & paintings!
