I
had just finished my last prop/FX today for Smiley Guy Studios' tv show
Chirp! It involved snow and icebergs and what I'd call...snowbergs!
I'll miss doing props. It was so fun and relaxing! I've learned so much,
from masking to animation techniques. I've made a collection of
bananas, flowerpots, toilet papers, dog dishes, pickaxes, sandcastles,
megaphones, nuts, leaves, playsets, snowballs and now snowbergs!
There
were times when I was just frustrated with my slow pace, but there were
also times when I get so caught up making a prop that it actually turns
out "Good!" according to Joel. I'm surprised by how much I know a lot
more about Flash at this point. Thank you so much Joel!
Aside
from my Flashy adventures, I also acquainted with more Smiley faces
like Tom, who had apparently worked at Elliot Animation (I've heard that
studio did the show 6teen and Stoked, which are shows that I was a big
fan of) and Cherry, Ashley and Kosta among others who talk about comics
and superhero movies. It's really cool to get to know people in the
studio with similar likes. We even have awesome lunch adventures, like
last week, Julie took us to Kensington Market, and ugh oh...I think I
found a new knick-knack store to lose all my money to...
There's so much more to talk about, like how I'm starting scene-planning and animating in Chirp this week, but because my ice-cappuccino beside me is crying out to be emptied...that's all folks! :)
P.S.
The
Dracula part in this week's title was because of two things. 1) I had
just finished Bram Stoker's novel Dracula and it was awesome, and 2) I
had just got a part of a Romanian character - with fangs of course,
because Transylvanian vampires, yoo - for an upcoming Q&A panel in a
comic convention in Hamilton! (I can't believe I still have time for
these things. pfffft oh well it's my summer) Anyway that means, it's
time to practice being a vampire while animating.
Here's a sneaky birdie for ya! Inspired by WussyWat's bird design. Birds, birds, birds!
