The Semester is over! But I’ll be on campus for the duration
of the entire break working on my thesis film along side of some fellow roommates
of mine. We had our winter critique with
positive feedback! It was amazing to see my fellow classmate’s films. Now on to
bringing our animation to polish as well as finishing up models, texturing,
experimenting with fur grass, polishing rigging, set dressing, contacting with
our composer, lighting, rendering, composite. Ahh…. Yeah there’s a lot to do.
I just spent a weekend hanging out with friends. Some lovely
underclassmen friends of mine threw the team and I a congratulations party for
surviving this semester. It felt so special after being bashed and abused by
the faculty to have people who reacted and enjoyed your work. I also realized
we all have some sort of post traumatic stress. When my friends and I were
hanging out, many of our conversations
reverted back to school, thesis, and work. I was talking to some friends back
home in Louisiana telling them I couldn’t come home for Christmas because of
work. I explained to them that even while we were working 10-15 hours a day for
7 days a week almost every day during the entire semester, we still have a shit
ton of work to do.
Its been a great learning experience and I hope to continue
growing in it.
