What it means to be...

Hey people, I kinda am blogging quite often now.. coz you guys aint doing shit.. so well .. just for a small update.. tho i know u guys dont give no 2 shits haha..im on a 2 week break.. so ive got alot of time on my hands now.. anyway back to semi topic... on the wake of zils post on his blog which i read... id like to do a follow up sort of.. anyway I have this vid i wanna show you guys.. that i did myself... not sure if its good.. but hey... its always worth giving a shot... i know some of you guys already know my poster ? the flour sack poster ?? well i had to create a 3d anim for that.. like giving emotions to a flour sack.. its an age old exercise that most companies do to evaluate an animators skills... coz giving emotions to a flour sack is like giving emotions to a rock.. i used maya for the 3d..adobe premiere for the layout... photoshop for the credits.. and my illustrator poster that i created...Oh and the quality is a lil messed up coz of youtube.. i might be able to use bloggers vid upload but it takes forever and the screen is small as hell...





So that was it..so pretty much what zil said in his blog about alignment, text and crap all applies to wat i just did .. it took me i think bout a week for the animation and maybe 2 or 3 days extra for my premiere piece..
Theres one question I always wanted to ask you guys.. do you think you have been living to your full potential till now ?? I mean like in everything you do do you put your soul and heart into it ? coz right now i dont think i am .. and i better start..coz in life i think theres only one shot to make something great.. and if you mess that up you might have another one.. but it wouldnt be as great.. tho everything is a learning process.. living at your full potential is almost everything that defines you as a student.. whats the point if you are not ? On the same note, i would not think most of the academic students wouldnt understand tho it applies to them as well.. coz when you design something.. or come up with some animation.. we think through things alot.. really alot.. i would not want to go in to detail.. coz id have to list down everything that exists in the world.. im not saying its easy for you guys who study.. coz i know its not.. ive been there.. the thing is . have you guys been in our position ?? prob once .. maybe twice.. but have you tried designing something?? from scratch ? from nothing? from a blank piece of paper? blank illustrator page? with a specific criteria? i might not think so.. so for those who think this is a joke.. what we do.. think otherwise.. coz for us we have to live at our full potential.. to give our best performance.. to give our best most innovative design...and yes i have critique sessions as well.. to brace us for our future endeavors in the field we work in...

P.S. It was really basic stuff that I learned that was why it was done in 1 week.. this was like a foundation anim class.. and through my 10 weeks in that class.. i did like maybe 2 weeks animation.. and im not an animator.. i just wanna make sure you guys know that... im in interactive and game development...
