Goodness what have I been doing with all this spare time NOT being in the lab? Well I got Siggraph coming up in less than a month. That should be AWESOME! In the meantime I've been working at my internship animating logos and doing some motion graphics. Everyday I learn something new there and I'm getting a little better at this motion graphic stuff and understand design concepts. It's pretty sweet. We'll see what happens within the next month because my internship ends on the 19th! Whoa! That's not long from now....Anywaaaays. So I'll admit I've taken a break from Maya. One can only lock themselves in a lab for so long working at mastering a program for so long until they go crazy and gosh darn it if we weren't all insane after that month long of non stop rendering. Not to mention I needed to finish my Environment! I've never had so little sleep in my life. I'll get back to it pretty soon, but I haven't been slacking off!!! I've been learning more and more about the Adobe package! I've updated my computer to a Macbook Pro with 250 GB of Hard Drive Space 4 GB of RAM (which I already had.....) and finally an Intel Core 2 Duo!!! The speed!!! AHAHAHA!!! Since I got the much needed update I also go the CS5 package. I've been reading non stop Photoshop tutorials because I never really learned how to make anything cool with it. Well.... What do you think?
I think they are pretty cool. I try and use a different style or different technique everytime I make a picture. Maybe I'll bust out my Nikkon and actually start taking my own picture instead of stealing pics from Facebook and making them work for me. Only time will tell. I also did a little After Effects special FX tutorials.
Color Correction, Sky Replacement, and shooting something out of my hands. Someone get me an HD camera quick! I've caught the bug!!!!
Now I'm trying to find some Cinema 4D tutorials or some Flash tutorials so I can animate something. I might start a small Environment project to brush up on my modeling, UV layouts, Texturing, Lighting, and Rendering Skills. We shall see what this week brings.
Until Next Time! DREAM BIG!
