The Two Halves of Phone

So here we are, another exciting week. The current assigned shot continues to evolve into something that borders on watchable. Needless to say, this still has a LONG way to go, but here's some of the changes. The beginning and ending have both been tossed out in favor of new stuff that works much better and makes the overall emotions clearer. I've also got the backpack in there, thanks to a fellow AM student who actually took time out of his own busy schedule to make it for me. My GOD I love this community! There's no selfishness, idiocy, back-stabbing or petty complaining in animation. Everybody helps everybody, and does so happily. It's a truly amazing group of artists who care enough about the medium and each other to advance everyone involved to the next level.

As I've said before, I am SO glad I decided to take this plunge!



I also have some sad news to report. My phone has died. The victim of a horribly disfiguring broken neck.
I'm actually not in the least bit upset about it. I hated that phone. I'm just glad I was eligible for an upgrade. Interestingly enough, this picture was taken with my NEW phone. After two miserable experiences with the crap products made by LG Electronics, I've gone back to Nokia. This new phone has a still/video camera in it (quality is crap, but hey, it's a phone), plus the ability for customized ringtones and graphics and such (the phone ring is back to the classic Rotary Phone ringing, but my alarm clock sound is the screeching Donald Sutherland from the remake of "Invasion of the Body Snatchers.") I even got a 2GB Micro-SD card for it, so it can double as a portable flash drive.

Is it sad when your telephone has a bigger hard drive than your first computer?
