Daily Doldrums

• Learned

Another week that wasn't too knowledge-filled. I pretty much applied my knowledge rather than gained new knowledge.

Though perhaps practicing audio syncing with video could count as 'learning.'

• Want to learn

How to perfectly sync up audio to video (assuming they were captured using different methods like I did with the sound recorder).

• Frustrated you

 Getting interviews is tough and I felt a bit like a bother to all the people that I asked. Even though my interviews took less than 5 minutes each, I couldn't help but feel like an inconvenience.

Also, while I'm getting my work done at a reasonable time, I also find that the work isn't as fun because I didn't get to try anything new. For example, getting my green screen work done was a b*tch, but I had fun doing it because it was something I never got to do before and when it did work, it looked hella cool.

• Made you happy

I'm getting something done on time and with little stress. I'm unused to this feeling. I swear, my life runs on approaching deadlines and stress.

The animation is about a group of mythological 'beings of death' bringing their successors (or whatever they might be called) to Death School to learn how to kill/capture spirits. The first two(three) successors look promising, but then the last one is revealed and even the predecessor is embarrassed/disappointed. The being does not want to kill or collect souls, but rather it wants to create clothing and accessories. In the end, that is what sets him above the rest.

It's a creative take on what we consider 'death' to be. Rather than forcibly taking souls, the misfit being convinces the souls to come along willingly so that they may cross over willingly. I definitely recommend!
