Still here!
Hey folks,
Things have been really busy around here. Yesterday I was busy with projects, class and meetings from 7 am until around midnight. There were some brief periods of breaks, like walking to and from school, but in general it has been really rough. It seems that this term will likely be remembered at the most difficult one, though I have a feeling it will also be one of the more rewarding for me in terms of work level and quality.
In terms of my projects, there are two primarily ones: a flash website and a motion graphics piece. I managed to capture the vast majority of blue screen footage I’ll need on Saturday (6 hrs in a hot production studio with no ventilation takes its toll), but it appears I will need to go back and do some final shooting to get everything I need. I suppose that’s the problem with trying to imagine what kind of footage I’ll need without actually working through the site layout first. Lesson learned! In any case, I got everything I need for the motion piece, so I’ll probably start on that this weekend. I don’t think I’ll have time to do anything on it before then due to a large number of short-term deadlines this week. The website that I am helping to build has a fairly major deadline on Thursday morning, so I’ll have to buckle down to get it done for then. All I can say is that Wednesday night might not be fun. Of course, this is not to mention the many other smaller assignments or those that are of the “slow accumulation” type.
So yeah, things have been extremely busy. In general I haven’t been too stressed about things, especially when I don’t have a choice in the matter. Still, I have been able to get my assignments in on time, so I’m rather happy about all that.
Well, class starts soon, so I better be off.
