Finding My Feet

My mum just called me earlier to tell me stop stressing myself out for homework. Haha. So, I'm telling her, here again, that I am having a fun time doing my homework. It's tiring and I got home pretty late for the past couple few days, but, I enjoyed it. So no worries. Even though I'm working against the clock to catch up with the new environment and coping with studies, its OKAY here. I am fine.

(p/s: I'm having this 爱赢才会拼 mode on for my homework now.)

Photography on Hiatus

This is gonna be a sad news for those who just drop by and see the photos and skip the reading because my beloved Nik has gone for a long deserved holiday. I can't help but to send him in for service because I'm getting a lot of dusts and weird 'bulu-bulu' (I swear its not mine) in my photos and I had to edit them out in photoshop one by one. So I brought him to a camera shop and they agreed to help me with a reasonable price. So yea, no artistic photos for the upcoming two weeks.

Meanwhile, I'm dying to get two of my animation homework done. I might be able to upload it as soon as this weekend if I can complete them both by Friday. Till then, CIAO. ^^

My "Fanshu" in the making.

Gonna do a lip sync animation with this fella. Imma named it Patrick.

Best Team Ever

I don't care what is the result for this assignment (for now) but I surely think I had the best team ever with me. Period. Thank you guys so much for being so patient with me (I was late for an hour+). Assignment to be uploaded (if it's not totally screwed.)

My free lunch: Chicken Tender + Fries (I am loving the 'monthly meal plan'. Haha)

                            

My Assignments Thus Far

I've been spending a lot of time on my stop-motion class assignments lately and I love what I'm learning so far. Hehe.

I' ll be 'collaborating' again with Leo, Sara, Kyle and new member, Garry for next week assignment - pixilation/ chalk video. I can't wait!!!

... and I'm trying to puzzle out my mind for my homework. This week will most likely has no day off for me as I have 4 really time consuming assignments and I don't wanna do bad. Sigh. I will be having my first (sorry Joyce but that experience doesn't count because I sucked badly) model photoshoot. I never really shot pictures of human faces professionally so I am extremely nervous and excited for this. We have to bribe get help from friend/stranger to be our model. It's kinda hard when I literally has no friends couldn't find anyone who is free for me. Grr.

Another interesting assignment is cut out animation. I really love this class. I had a lot of crazy ideas going on about what to do; how things flow and animate but I don't think I have that much of time to do it. It sucks when you know you want to do something but you just couldn't. We watched Tale of Tales (cutout animation) in class today and I was about this close to cry out for the show. It's so thoughtful and deep, I really like how the message was translated in a visual form. It was in Russian but I guess animation is all about the movements and gestures instead of words.

I hope I can upload videos and pictures of these homework by this week. (That means I'm proud of it and not hesitate to show)

(p/s: I never thought deodorant is gonna be useful in San Francisco. Guess I'm wrong. LOL)

UPDATE: The films didnt really work out. FUCK

Pier 39

That is the location of one of my classes. Well, right opposite to be exact. It's experimental animation class. I kinda have a love-and-hate feelings for this class because its really fun but the homework is really time consuming. Grr. Well, guess I should not put too much pressure on myself. Haha.

Busy Month

I haven't been free for the last few weeks. Sigh. A quick update about what I was working on lately. Its a video assignment. Below are the few still frames for the video. In addition, I was also working on my final animation short, which I am very passionate and excited about, am gonna show the characters by next week (or so I hope).

Reading

The blog wasn't really updated recently. (Yah, I know, but who cares, No1 read what.. LOL) Incase you thought I was being kidnapped/killed/murdered or etc, here's the answer for you, no, I am still alive.
Lately I am quite hooked up with my studies and I just realized, reading is really important - even for ART STUDENTS. So today I went to Kinokuniya and look for Entertainment Weekly with Ryan Reynolds on the cover some books.
And then I found this very interesting comic graphic novel - Seaweed.

The second I saw the cover I knew I'm getting a copy of it. Soooooooooo cute~

And so I bought the book. The End.




Owh wait.. I got some interesting photos to upload too.. (Just so happened I saw them at the mall.) Check out this mum. Are you going to do the same for your kids?

Leave Or Remain

Gimme a clue. I'm stuck.

































Thanks for being care.

Student Syndrome

I found myself having a very common student syndrome - Procrastination!! Yaiy! I'm not doing my assignments as I should be, instead I'm blogging about it. Ha. Crap!
Right now, I'm taking my time to read perezhilton and doing nothing. Geez. Someone please help me. I felt hopeless. Stressed. Another concern of mine is the foldees contest which I took part like month ago which just ended its voting period. Pheww. Let's hope I have more luck and less laziness "procrastination".

Fun Time's Over

WTH! So fast! Gonna get back for assignments from tomorrow onwards! Sigh! Wish me LUCK LUCK LUCK.. a lot of luck!

The "Exhausism" of Minty Zhet

Had a video shooting session today, it was fun (not to mention that its exhausting at the same time) and everyone was happy with the result (so far). Can't wait to see more commitment on my next shoot. That's the wrap for now.
