Computers Hate Me (Blog # 16)

I am literally having the worst week ever and just, my head is not on my shoulders at all it appears.

So far this week, it's all been work, work and work with our rotoscoping projects and its fine and all but just, so many problems with me and it's upsetting. first off with me doing the project at home and now with flash drives and things not saving correctly. UGH.

Pretty much to be indifferent, I WANT TO LEARN WHAT I'M DOING WRONG. (/throws self into volcano/)

Happiness, well this week. The only happy thing that happened was a perfect score on my math quiz. Whoopie.

Now, everything was bad. Just, I can't like the title states. Computers seem to hate me and I'm so stressed and practically my hair is going to fall out!

(Me right now)

The Littlest Reaper (Video #6)

CLICK ME

So for my video this week, I wanted to bring in a bit of Halloween. Woohoo.
Though, this video dubbed "Deathigner" is possibly the cutest video I have seen. I think any of you will enjoy it with the view on death itself and the grim reapers from around the globe and a little thing called " Death School"

Fluid animation and a creative art style added to the mix, I believe that this deserves a movie. Truly. Or maybe even a 30 minute short would be good as well.

Thank you, La Bouff (Blog #15)

Golly, here we go again with female characters.

For me, I have been seeing this argument unfold about female characters not being expressive with emotions like male characters and also PoC. (People of Color)

Learned I Did

. Many express how characters that are female don't have individual expressions, looks are just overall anything. They are alike, they all say. Comparing Anna from Frozen and Rapunzel from Tangled, they both have similar to almost exact facial structure even if both characters are from different parts of the world. Well, in their stories.

. Also, historically from years before, apparently female characters are harder, yes harder, to express emotion because they still have to be pretty. Odd because Iv'e seen female with tons of emotion and why should it exactly matter?

. Usually, some say that when they do attempt to change or express for example a middle age women, like a really one. They are told that they are doing wrong and to make her more, fruitful.

Here's Some Fruit for Thought

. Now, this is all bull. Female character CAN show a lot of emotion and they should, showing emotion is a human thing and in their words. We don't look beautiful all the time expressing these emotions and that is fine though by doing so in movies, it kind of shows a lie of what girls/females are.

. For example, one of my favorite characters from "Princess and the Frog" was Charlotte la Bouff. She has some many expressions and she still is pretty but, well, her emotions and expressions are amusing but,
observe.






SHE IS LITTLE FIREBALL OF EMOTION.

My Question for You

. Can females truly be represented like ay other character instead of some sexualized, perfect human being and be shown as any other person that can laugh and snort without a care?

Respawn of the Dead (Blog #14)

Zombies, Zombies and more Zombies.

We all love zombies and their flesh eating faces, even if they probably are missing their jaw. Still.

With this article, we learn the properties and the structure on exactly, why do we love something as simple but as creepy as a monster that will murder and eat us in cold blood. Don't get me wrong, zombies are really, really cool.

Fundamentals of Learning

. "The Walking Dead" have been a worldwide phenomenon since, forever. In multitudes of myth's and stories from cultures all over and stories of the dead coming back to life and common. Oddly in a way, we just learn these stories when we age and grow up, they just, appear in our lives. From horror stories at slumber parties to the movie screen. Thus where the 30's come in and the zombie is brought to the eye of viewers and common folk. Though, when it came to "The Night of the Living Dead" Zombies became an international fear. Soon, more and more zombies and twists to the "kind" came along and it practically became an icon. Weird, but that is how things usually work.

. Often at times, speculations are emerged and created based on movies and even zombie movies, like the idea of that zombies could represent the affect of technology and the non-dependence on human beings, thus, becoming a zombie. Also to go along with these , some say, they use the phone or even computer and don't connect with people face-to-face and it shows that already, it could probably start. It's in motion and we don't even know. (*Twilight Zone Theme*)

. Connected above, most of the time in our lives. We are just thrown into a group or maybe even a horde we don't even know about yet. Based on our workplace, life and government. We are simply just an unwanted number, or also just a blurred being. Much like a zombie, someone who has no individuality.

Weighing My Opinions

. Honestly, I like zombies myself. One of my favorite movies is Shaun of the Dead and I read online stories and they do have zombie connections! Though, when I start to see zom-com romance movies with zombie love. Well, that's going far because, you know, necrophilia.

. Noticing the connections of the government and that technology is also connected with zombies is a pretty liable fact. It makes sense and as well as connecting to that zombie uproar we had a while ago. Supposed zombies in Florida, HA. More like drug addicts.

Thee Question

. To be honest, do you think that society is losing it's mind and even brains towards zombies?
Should we focus on other monsters other than them? (YES A DOUBLE QUESTION)

Another Week, Another Doll hair (Blog #13)

Back once again for another completed week and surprisingly, it's almost the end of the 10 week mark, just, holy mother of-

*404 ERROR*

It's running by, quickly.

Overall this week, it's all been rotoscoping work day in and day out and to be honest, it's relaxing to just work desperately. nothing really, just all work. Oh, work.

Honestly though, i might look into doing more rotoscoping work personally, I really enjoy it so far. Could be fun to see what other ideas I could come up with. (come on brain)

probably, the only upsetting thing that happened this week was plans to hang out with my best friend, Destiny. Man, I haven't seen her in 3 months and just, FINALLY I get to see her tomorrow, thank YOU.

Now, happiness.

Team Fortress 2 and drawings.

I finally started drawing more and drew myself some tf2 drawings of The Sniper, The Spy, The Engineer and The Soldier and I love them all. So proud and ready to continue and improve on all of them and other mercs.

So yeah, heh.

Done with another week and it's off the checklist.











^^ Literally me.

Now I go back into hibernation, until next week.

USE THE SWORD AS A SWORD (Video # 5)

This week I bring ya'll with, Bee and Puppycat.

I'm a fan of Cartoon Hangover and their video's, especially this small series. It's beautifully animated, great voice acting and it actually had quite the surprise with the whole thing at the end. /claps

Personally, I adore Puppycat's Vocaloid voice.

Give Me Cartoons, or Give Me Death (Blog #12)

As I went over before, we already discussed the abundance on animated films in the industry now-a-days which, is fine but sometimes, it could be cut throat.

Something I Learned

. There is literally no difference between PG and G. Interesting, huh. Just, why would you even have either then if they are the same thing with the same purpose.

. The film business and especially the animation films, seem to be full of madness with how movies always seem to come out with other films with it. Competition 24/7 it looks like. Always have to be on top in the box office.

. The thought of adult animated movies is just pretty funny idea. Adult's laughing at these films and children not understanding them. Ahhh.

Opinions Show Up

. In my opinion, I would like to see an attempt on an adult animated film, I want to see how it would compete with other movies and in the box office plus, just to see how they would do it.

. The film business is way to cut throat and it has to be like that but, calm down a little there buddies. If you don't want to compete harshly, release your movie at a different time.

 MY QUESTION

. Who else wants to see an adult film??

Welcome to the Meth Lab (Blog #11)

Even if I haven't seen Breaking Bad yet, the story appears to be pretty intense and complex in parts and I, actually might watch it myself (even though it's over now)

Also possibly, the only thing I knew about Breaking Bad is meth. Simply put right there in bold.

I LEARNED

. Emotions and camera work are a main essential to the workings of television and movies. Without either, a story may as well not take off and the viewers will not, or most likely not understand and go towards a characters story. Though with BB's  (Breaking Bad) case, it's the total opposite. It's really interesting how people could root for a 'villain' character, even with the things that character has done. I, myself, often do root for villain characters. Example's like Loki from Thor and The Avengers. Displaying and playing up the back story of someone, they would understand. 

. POV. Point of View is a major, with writing and acting even. Switching between POV's of characters and also the world, the viewer gets a diverse idea of what is going on, from everyone's perspective. Extremely important! Many, many ways of using POV to the advantage. 

. A Russian filmmaker developed the method on POV, getting inside one's head. Lev Kuleshov built on the technique. This I really didn't know, to my, I thought it was an automatic instinct to do so in filming. Well, I learnt something. 

Make These Opinions Important

. I look highly up to the use of different POV's. In my opinion, It gives the writing a strong cushioning also a complexity to awe readers/viewers. Not some flat-lining knowledgeable piece of bore-fest that just goes with the flow and does nothing to add a backbone as to why, for example, that character is looking for a twinke. (gosh i hope someone gets that reference. if nobody did, this would sadden me so.)  

. More shows and movies need to do this a better way. Really. I just don't want to see explosions all the time for no reason. Even if they are cool. Still, more emotion, less boom-boom.

A Question Has Come My Way

. Now, my question for you!

Any other way people get glued to a screen??

At Least Now-a-days We Don't Use Leeches ( Blog # 10)

as the title says.

so far this week, it's been boarderline normal. nothing really exciting and indifferent occured (yet). practically, i was only sick on monday which, i really didn't like as i was stuck on the couch watching re-runs of supernatural. still pretty cool though. 

now continuing on and away from the gross fathoms of my sickly state, you wouldn't want to be infected.

this week, flash was broadened upon us and new skills on tweens were taught ( as far as i know ), different animation techniques were also given to use to use and tweak around with. also to build up on this week learning agenda, a page with multitudes of vocabulary was handed out and to studied on. file types such as the much dreaded JPEG. Who knew something that i used before could contain much evil as this little guy. 

for my future mostly, i would like to learn about sound effects and even voice acting for future projects to come. iv'e always looked into voice acting and found it a possible thing to try out and maybe, this may be a chance. piecing together an animation with a scripted act would be an accomplishment for myself. something to develop into i would think.

really, the thing that upset me was the fact i missed so much that one day i was out. though, christina helped me out so much and thanks to her cunning little demo's and notes, she caught me up. thanks again, friend. 

now, something that made me happy. 

for animation wise, my character design from Ai came out just the way i wanted and i liked it. even if there are much better (which there are) i'm very proud of this character i made and created. i savored him. now, for personal.

the team fortress 2 fandom on tumblr ( yeah, yeah i know. wow, i'm surprised team fortress 2) but, away from that. as i posted previously before, i'm in the construction of my medic cosplay and it's going great. possibly i would post pictures of here if i was aloud to but anyways, i was told, i was to fat and overweight to be that character and i know this is getting personal but, simply, cosplay is supposed to be about fun.  not hating an individual on inaccuracies. 

so, i made a post to my tumblr followers and on the tag of tf2 on tumblr and just, i got flooded and spammed with so many, loving messages from people from the fandom i dont even know and people who follow me and, it was an abundant mass of love. and in that moment, i realized how amazing the fandom was.

just, give me a moment.

aside from drama.

that has been my week.

Wibbly-Wobbly, Timey-Whimey STUFF ("Video" #4)

THIS
IS AN ASTRONOMICAL THING

literally, while browsing on tumblr, i found this kickstarter and it held interest in me. only to discover, a freak-en TARDIS will be put into space.

the video attached in the kickstarter itself shows the whole explanation on the project and what is to be done. the kickstarter raised highly over the price needed and sadly, no more donations are being put through.

though, it's really cool that on the 50th anniversary of doctor who, this TARDIS satellite will be put into orbit.

i know it's animated related like other video's, but i thought people would be interested like myself.

my reaction to this:
