It's coming along...

Hey everyone!!!

I made my model!! She looks so cool (if i do say so myself!) Im really proud of her. As u know Al (the animator) came to talk to us today. He was so kool! He gave us a lot of helpful hints and tricks to use and bcoz i want to get into the animation field as a career i was hanging on to his every word. I read an article a while back which depicted animators as being "obsessive control freaks" haha... thats me down to a tea! But its soo true u gotta have a lot of patience for it and the ability to mentally break down an action into frame by frame. But anyway, the point of my story... i came to school today all excited to show my film teacher my model and see what she thought about her and she and Al both said that she's too small!!
:( So after scrutinizing every little detail down to the earrings in her head, i need to make a new, slightly bigger version of "Penny". Which i wasn't too rapt about! (as u can imagine) But hey, they're the experts...

I've been watching a fair few of Peter Lord's animations, to get some ideas, they've really helped with inspiration.. can i just say he is an absolute legend at animation!! Soo talented...

Attention: Em, Morgana, Natasha & Nicole.. Thanx heaps for ur ideas guys!! They'll be really helpful. It was so weird bcoz i had thought of some of the same kind of props, like the candles, witchcraft books even the rug! ( I love the ideas of the "scattered pictures she'd drawn" & "the black bean bag with moons and stars on it" I'll definitely incorporate them in somewhere) I hadnt thought of things like the art stuff! Dont know how that slipped my mind.. her being an art student and all!! But ow well..

that's about all i've got to say for today...

till next time.. Be good!

Elle :)
