"Places to be, people to meet..."

Hey everyone...
Yesterday was so exciting and tiring!!
But ill start from the beggining, shall i ...?

In the morning we had our last visit from Al, he showed us how to use a dope sheet, which for all u out there that have absolutely no idea what im talking about its a kind of graph, that shows the animator exactly how a piece of dialogue breaks down into frames (lip synching). It can also tell the animator how each syllable is pronounced, and if there are any coughs, grunts, etc in the scene. It was really helpful because i decided not to go with the whole dialogue through out the movie, i thought i might make it more of a narration, as Penny's thoughts.. Might try to include some talking, we'll see how it looks!!

After that we had a reporter come in, to take some photos of us, with our sets and models, that was a bit of fun and a laugh... Just a tad embarrasing as the whole of the yr 11 media class was present! She was doing an article on Pop Fiction and thought it would be kool if she got to meet us and take some photos. I'm a very busy girl, but i said i would give her a few minutes of my time... quite generous I thought.

After lunch ..( and a very exhausting english SAC) we had the channel ten news crew waiting to interview us! It was great fun, didnt take us too many takes... Made a nice change to be in front of the camera rather than behind it!!

I think i could get used to this kind of life..
