The End

Hi.
Hello.
And Sup.

This week, because I didn't post a blog just literally a few seconds ago, I'm finishing some projects. They include 4 page spread and 60second animation. I'll be working with Mark on a small kitty animation. It's gon be good. Trust me. Other than, I met a new potential employer who's the president of  GPI (Great Products, Inc) who may hire us for some touch up on his logos. It's looking good kiddos!

Bye.

Week 3

Hi.
Hello.
And Sup.

Flash is interesting. I'm actually quite confused. At the same time, not. I know what I want, and what I have to do. It just doesn't play nicely.

Bye.

All the Systems Go!

Hi.
Hello.
And Sup.

I missed the meeting on Tuesday with a client due to Layla (my car) being a hissy-fit spazz McQueen. However, I spoke with that said client and we'll reschedule and wait until everything is good and ready to start up again. I was hoping not to spend an ungodly amount of money (which I have already, I swear you'll get what's coming to you Mr. Bruce. That's just Karma.) on Layla besides the regular tires, breaks, gas. But no. If I had the option to check it off, it'd be all of the above. Oh well, what are you going to do?

We, as Hart Designs, got an opportunity to work with a non-profit charity group in California (job found by our very own Luis Guadalupe also known as/or portrayed as Ester Hart the Panda). We are to create two concepts for this charity called One Love. It's a charity to raise awareness to speak up with your voice and actions, stop bullying and accept everyone of any race, gender and sexuality. We charged only $75 only mainly because we knew (although not fond of) the client. And hey, if it helps get our name out in places we don't normally travel to, I say better for us.

Other than that, our client with Reef Dynasty has been steadily stalled. He is expecting a baby and has other issues with his website. We're going to continue productions and have it ready for him. We charged him $300 with $100 up front. Contract and everything. So professional.

Class wise, well, it's flash. Oh boy. Frustration among frustration but I'm slowly getting it. We're doing a small 30second animation for the final, or rather part of the final project. Wish I had more time to draw things out to animate. Oh well. I'll come up with something. I always do.

Flash Forward!

Hi.
Hello.
And Sup.

Class has started. What am I saying? I've been in class for a while. However, I am back in the graphics lab and it feels oh so good to be back. We're now working on FLASH and I'm just so well versed in it.

Actually, no. I lied.

It's difficult to grasp and I swear the program trolls me. But it's fine. S'all good. I'll figure it out and bother people for help if need be. The projects themselves are pretty entertaining. The thought process of all the work for the projects I have I think are wonderful ideas. I really think they're effective. But actually doing it on FLASH is proving to be a chore. And we all hate chores, don't we?

It'll take some extra time to get used to it. I've watched some tutorials on FLASH and what not. I'm now interested in joining the stick figure animation band wagon. Just saying. But I really need to get this 20 second flash ad. I have an awesome idea. I'm doing the ad on Captain Morgan. I love rum. I do. Don't judge me on that. I was going to have the ship sail in with crashing wave MP3 playing. Then a guy popping up on the bow (That's the front right?) and pull off the Captain Morgan pose.

Yeah, I failed.

So my new idea. I will still have the boat drift in with the waves. Instead of posing I'll have sudden images appearing and snip-its of Skeletons on Parade by LUDO playing on the heavy pirate rock part. It'll be good. Trust me.
