I really liked seeing everyones animations. Some of them we had seen progress on and it was cool to see how they had changed. Other people's were a surprised since we had never seen them in class before. I thought the crit was really chill, which was nice. I wasn't sure how harsh these were going to be, and I'm glad that everyone seems laid back.
This new way of using flash is really interesting. The demo cleared up some of my confusion about symbols and tweening within a symbol. Definitely a technique I'll be using later. Looping a walk cycle was something I hadn't been able to figure out and now that I know how that should be so much easier
On that topic, I'm really glad we are moving onto walk cycles and turn arounds. That is something I'm very interested in and that I want to get much better at. So looking forwards to improving.

I finished my RCF on Saturday, but forgot to blog about it. It went better than I was expecting. I had less work to do than I thought and adding sounds was not as hard as I imagined it might be. Premiere is still rather difficult to use but I figured it out more or less. I don't love the sounds in my animation, but I think they are effective and help tell the story. I'd like feed back on the sounds the most because I didn't even think about them until Saturday, which was an oversight on my part. I was so focused on the animating process I didn't really think about post-production at all. But it is done, I'm very happy that I was not up all Sunday night working like I was afraid I might be.
Other things.
I know I have to get my rotoscope exercise onto the teachers machine. I put it on this blog, so it is here and finished etc. I just need to find the file. I'm trying to stay organized but there are just so many files it can be really hard to keep track. But I know I have it and I will try to get it on the teacher machine today.
Because I've been so busy with RCF I have not picked a presentation topic yet and I will do that ASAP. Maybe in class during break or something.
I'm looking forwards to seeing everyone's animations today. I thought this project was really pretty fun and I'm happy with my first finished animation.

I wasn't able to export my animatic for class today. My account has been incredibly slow lately, and I'm not sure if it is the network and everyone is experiencing similar issues or not. I cleaned off my account today and moved any large files to my flash drive and the working volume to see if that would help and I can't tell if it has or not. I'll probably end up emailing IT if it doesn't seem to resolve itself. I can barely download things like attachments etc. So, I'll have the animatic on the teacher machine as soon. I'll try exporting it form my computer at home and see if thats any different.
I'm trying to stay on top of this project, but I'm worried that it doesn't look very good and I want to go back in and do some frame by frame animation. Obviously time is just an issue.

I went to Sarah Hill's artist talk. I wish the presentation had been a little bit more informative. The show and the work is very symbolic and tackles really big issues, I assumed that Sarah as a speaker would be really clear and talk intelligently about their philosophy and method and opinions on art etc. But that really wasn't at all what the talk was like and I was a little disappointed. I had a lot of questions, which were echoed by other people, about exactly what kind of art Sarah actually makes. Some of it is performance, other is performance documentation and still other works are what I would call experimental films. Most questions from the audience were met with vague undefined answers.
I'm still really glad that this show and there artists are here, the issues they are tackling are certainly really relevant to a lot of the student body. I hope they get mores artists like this and hopefully have more artist talks about these issues in the future.
