Fuckin Finally!

10:30 am today I finally finished my final after effects project after days of little sleep and LONG hours working non-stop. Hooray! I'm done term 3! I'm half done my first year! So I have for you a couple of final projects that I threw together in the midst of my CRAZY schedule. Forgive me if this post sounds retarded -- I haven't slept and I have to tie up loose ends today before I fly home for a week tomorrow. See you all then! Party weekend! W007!

The first is a Visual effects piece. I did preproduction Tuesday, (idea/concept/storyboard/film permits/etc.) filmed Wednesday, did other homework non-stop Thursday-Saturday and started the post production from Sunday @4pm-8am -- slept for 2 hours. Went to class -- worked from 1pm to 3am -- Slept for 5 hours. Went to class -- Worked from 3pm-5pm passed out till 9pm and worked straight until 10:30am Wednesday (Today, I still have not slept!) when I finally finished all the post production (ADR/VFX/rough edit/colour correction/sound design/final mixdown). I'm take foundation visual arts which does not include ANY visual effects training save chroma keys -- this is all self-taught work so it may not be the most impressive thing you've ever seen, but consider the inadequate time frame and my lack of formal training.

Be warned -- the film is kinda weird. Check it out.

P.S. I can't get the fucking audio to sync up once I upload... and I'm too lazy to figure out how use virtualdubmod to encode xvid with mp3 audio compression... *sigh*



So that hologram lady is my roommate Amanda! It's a weird film for sure... I love sci-fi but when you think about it... sci-fi is pretty silly... I found it hard to take the role seriously as an actor ;)

aaaaannnddd.... here's my cute animation project for my intro to animation class...



Anyway I have to do my laundry and shower and go to the gym and pay my bills and sleep before tonight so luv you kids and see you all soon!

End of Term...

So it's nearing end of term.03 and April 19th I'm flying home for a week!

Hooray! 420 in Edmonton =D



End of term means final projects and for my After Effects final, I'm racing to put together this hella sweet (in concept) visual effects sci-fi short. It features both me and my roommate (who plays the part of a holographic computer interface) as the main characters. Anyway, I think it should turn out pretty cool, I'll post it when I'm finished =D

See you guys soon!
