Movie In Progress...

Done.....kinda

Another 4-5 hours in the lab. Got to a good stopping point. I don't consider it quite finished yet.

Motion 4

Been working with Motion 4 the past 2 days. Spent 5 hours on it on Sunday.....then all my work got deleted....Spent 4 hours on it today. Saved this time. Got a little further than last time and tried out some ideas.

Ordered Production Premium CS5! Should be here later this week.

AE CS5!!!

So after traveling all over campus to find a computer with After Effects CS5, or any CS for that matter, I went back to Wey hall to find that the software had just been installed.

I spent what time I could watching and following tutorials (1-2 hours). Almost finished with a pretty shhweet tutorial involving a creepy tunnel and some floating text.

Story Boardin'

I bounced the song and started working on the story board for the animation. Spent about 1-2 hours on it. I'm definitely getting in way over my head on the concepting.

Song still needs some more finishing touches but I think the over all composition is complete.

Project 1: Part 1

Nearly finished with my song for the first project. Spent about 3 hours in Logic. The song is based off of a loop I made on my loop pedal a few days ago. Sounds a hell of a lot like Tell'Em by Sleigh Bells. Here's some specifics...

Software: Logic Express 8

Song Name: Don't Tell'EM 

Key: Probably D minor

Tempo: 139

Instruments: 3 Guitars, Bass (maybe), Hip Hop Sly Kit (played via Axiom 25 Midi Controller), Vocal?

I have a few more songs in mind if I can't find a poem to fit the tone of this one. 

Speaking of which, my brother suggested a poem. It's called "I saw a man pursuing the horizon" by Stephen Crane. Funny, short poem. Cool thing about it is, if my bro hadn't told me it was funny before I read it, I probably would've found it kind of sad.

Here's the poem...

I saw a man pursuing the horizon;
Round and round they sped.
I was disturbed at this;
"It is futile," I said,
"You can never-"

"You lie," he cried,
And ran on.

First Day!

3 hours into the first day of motion graphics. Ass hurts. More to follow.
