I’m gonna have a crazy quarter, but I am determined to keep up with the blog. I am actually excited about pretty much all of my classes, and I should have some really nice portfolio work by the end of the quarter.
The project that I have jumped into first is for Motion Design. Another entirely open ended project. The class is all about video editing and learning video techniques that I really could have used last summer when I was working on my Desperado project but since when does DAAP give us classes in the order we need them? Who knows, at least I’m learning it now, and hopefully will be able to use it on my next co-op.
Last night tore apart my room (note picture one) and spent nearly 5 hours shooting and photoshoping these storyboards. I am really excited about this project, and hope it comes out the way I am envisioning it. Pretty simple concept: I am up late working and fall asleep at my desk. Then the little me that I am editing, in a photo or video, jumps out of my computer, wakes me up, gives me some Pepsi and puts me back to work. Easy enough concept, whether or not I will be able to make it work is another question entirely.
I am still optimistic though, It is early in the quarter and I have not yet been beaten to a pulp staying up till 3 every night. I am planning on shooting all my footage this weekend and starting production next week. Now I just need to find a decent video camera.
I should be posting some more research on other projects soon, I sure have a lot of them to work on. Hopefully the Milestones site will be launched this weekend so I’ll have one less thing to worry about. I will let you know how migrating Wordpress between hosts goes.
