Week 7 Comments

This week we learned about using 3D space in our animation, Lip Sync and continued working on our 11 second club. What frustrated me most this week was getting my Spaceship exercise to work. I'm sure everyone else reading this is rolling their eyes on me and I don't blame them. I probably made it way to complicated then it actually was to be honest, but I just couldn't get a whole grasp on how the 3d space editor actually works. Once I figure out that however I'll be a lot happier. My favorite part of the week was the last few minutes of Thursday, where I turned in my 11 second club. It was a huge relief because I was worried I would not finish it in time as I had a half day on Friday and I couldn't make it to class. But thankfully, I finished it right on time and wow it felt great. I put in a lot of effort into it and I'm pretty proud of it actually. It came out great in my opinion and I hate to sound so pretentious, but I think it's pretty funny. Unfortunately though I didn't submit it to the contest but honestly I didn't really care about that aspect of it, I just wanted to get it done and perfect. But anyways, I'm looking forward to showing my 11 second club to the class in the critique and starting the big 2D short project. I still have no idea what I'm going to do for that one, but I'll start brainstorming some ideas soon. So now onto the link of the week..

Here's a pretty funny video. It basically shows these two guys taking Mcdonald's food and setting it up to look a little more fancy. They then take it to a fancy schmancy food show and have some people try it. They ask them what they think about it, and if its better than Mcdonald's. Of course all the pretentious food critics say how it's miles better and a healthy alternative to the fast food joint. I think this video is great because it really shows how people our unwilling to except that big companies like Mcdonald's and Wendy's have changed to make their food more healthy. But they have their false ideas of what these restaurants actually are and refuse to accept the reality of the situation, The video is foreign by the way, so make sure you put on subtitles (That are thankfully fully written, unlike the hilarious automatized subtitle feature by YouTube.)
So yeah, thanks for reading this pretty hefty Week comments.
