I am exhausted beyond exhaust.
So this week we learned a ton about 3D animation. We learned how to shape and mold shapes. How to even bring those shapes into existence in the program. We learned a little bit about rigs, thank you demon squirrel.We learned how to animate, and that Maya works completely on keyframing. Also, I learned I'm never going to look at a squirrel the same, I am so uncomfortable. Overall 3D is terrifying and I hope I'll get a semi-grasp on it. I learned Non-Stop from Hamilton has 1234 words. I learned this because instead of choosing normal data like a normal stats students, I asked myself "Hey how many words do 30 broadway musical hype songs have?"
I want to further learn about 3D animation in the future. I want to understand how to operate a rig, and maybe more about video games. I also want to learn how to fix sleep because I am so so tired. I still have a need to bust out a ridiculously long essay, but no class is assigning anything that is built for me. They probably won't, but I just wanna learn something new.
Something that frustrated me this week was learning Maya. It is all very new and strange to me. Also, I have lost my will to write, which is going to mess me up tomorrow when I don't turn in the three writing assignments English needs. I think I'm just too tired to function past the emotions known as frustration and internal screaming.
I saw Moana this week. I loved it. It made me very happy. I also saw my best friend for the first time since she went to college, and I went on a mall date with friends. But also I'm not really happy this week, I'm kind of out of it.
I cried for half of a movie this week. It was because of Lin-Manuel Miranda. This song happened about thirty minutes into the movie? I cried from Lin's voice onwards. (Also how do you animate water like that??) I got really emotional, ok?
This level of exhaustion is relatable. The dabbing squirrel is a nice touch, though. The 'losing your will to write' is also relatable, since I have not had drawing inspiration in like, 6 months or more. I hope you produce more dabbing squirrels- I mean good 3D animations in the future.
