My Week: Read It

Perhaps not one of my best titles, but eh

  • Learned
 What have I learned this week? I've learned a bit. Nothing but review in Pre-Calculus, Vectors in Physics (which I am extremely bad at), nothing in English, and nothing in US History. Most of what I have learned has been in Animation. I've learned walk cycles, and junk. I don't know.
  • Want to learn
 I can't really think of anything other than how to correctly do vectors in Physics and how to better do walk cycles (since I am not confident in mine).
  • Frustrated me
 More like stressed me out. I always get stressed out over a large project like the 2D short. Mine is fairly simple, since it is a very short fight, it shouldn't be to terribly long, right? Well it feels like it will take forever to do (even though this time I left room for tweening) and I'm worried about deadlines (which I ultimately know I will meet hopefully)
  • Made you happy
 I was really thankful that I got the perfect attendance award and the award for the highest average. I was honestly surprised because I there are so many good animators in the class. I didn't think anything of my average when I first saw it. I guess I have taken so many college classes that they don't feel very special. Still, I am thankful and I would like to acknowledge all of those who deserved the award more than I did.

Everyone :D

 I have to say, I was squealing so much when I read this on Reddit. This is my number 1 favorite game and Gearbox is famous for it's video game shorts. That and that Gearbox is awesome enough to cooperate with a college to make a series of animated shorts (3), created by the students. It gives them the opportunity to experience the real job of a video game creator.
Now, about the video itself, it has an intro from one of the storyboard finalists, and then her animated short. The short itself was just amazing. She fully grasped the personality of Claptrap and his shenanigans. Maya is allowed to be so out of character because the whole scenario is based of a fictional work out of Clappy's imagination. Very entertaining and enjoyable for a Borderlands fan!
