I made an alien species to escape reality this week. We got memes banned. -Finger guns- What else is new?
Thi week we learned about sound recorders and some audio editing. Sound recorders seem pretty simple to use, but I'm anxious about using one because my dialogue in my animation has very specific specs to it. We already knew somewhat about Audacity, but it was refreshing to learn more. Garage band seems like it will also be really handy for sound as well because it has some sounds that are better than hunting online for uncopyrighted things. I learned that by the sheer power of will you can turn a bad goat imitation into a spaceship noise. I also learned that for some reason I know chemistry math better than statistics math. I learned more calculator commands I don't have the capacity to remember. And finally, I learned I'm too stupid to even apply to a college I wanted to go to.
Something I would like to learn in the future is how to properly lip sync. I thought I had it down, and that was the only thing in my 11 Second Story Club I liked. Then I was informed that I did not, in fact, have it down, and it just looked like mouths opening and closing. Which leads to I need to figure out how to lip sync properly for the single line of dialogue in my 2D short and the loss of slight pride for my 11SSC.
Existing frustrated me this week. I'm still somewhat sick, even though I really shouldn't be. I have grown to actually hate my history class because people in it have no idea what feelings are, and one of my majors was made fun of. Learning I can't even apply to a desired college frustrated me. Everything is just frustrated and I'm frustrated and bitter.
My friend bought my World of Warcraft game time. That's the only thing that really made me happy because I get to waste my weekends on my space goat(draenei) again and it is a huge stress relief. WoW has always made me happy. What can I say? I've been playing since I was four. Which means it has been a part of my life since it launched(November 23, 2004). It really says a lot.
My link of interest this week is really astounding. The amount of effort this person had to put in to edit this is the effort I wish I had. It is smooth and flawless and beautiful and you should watch it: Fan.Tasia.
The Disney mashup was amazing. Brought a lot of great memories back. Your alien race is awesome and cool. I hope you put them in a future animation. Good luck with the lip sync! I know how frustrating it can be.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the creation of an alien species, we definitely need more of those in the world. Thank god for happiness and games. For the lip syncing it helps to follow along with the packet and which mouth formations open the mouth wider and what his the mouth narrowing.
