I'm Back :O + Animating~

What a coincidence!

I was just telling someone my net was down and ba-boom! It's back!
Although I really don't wanna jinx it :x

Shhhhh.


I don't wanna make the net angry at us again.
Actually it was our phone line. We didn't bother to check it lol. So sad.


What have I been doing these last few days...?
Nothing much. I think.

However today, or rather, yesterday, I decided to start animating my first single.

As much as I wanted it to be released on my birthday (this coming Wednesday), my producer still wants the Japanese lyrics checked. Pssh. Yeah, yeah. Afraid we'll offend the Japanese.


( =A= ) it's just a sad love song.


So yeah, getting back to the whole animating thing.
You see, I used to draw a lot. I used to dream of making something out of it.

Today, out of nowhere, out of sheer determination, I managed to draw a few frames (simple ones) and made it move~


Having said that, you might think: "Oh, aren't you an art student? Didn't you learn that?"

Well, no, not really.
I'm still learning (kinda, partially, well, maybe) Painting 1. A basic module.


So, yeah....

I'm doing the animation manually.


I asked my friend who did the animation for  Muchuu...and she told me that she used AfterEffects.

Oh man.

I haven't learned that!


But yeah, I gotta say, when I first made it move (I know, I know, you can make gifs to make it move too but I don't know how to make gifs!), I gotta say, some tears came out.

This is because well, I have been "dead" for a while and I finally made something worthwhile again.


Animating my own PV? Why not.

I'm just an independent artist.
I have no budget for a proper video and I'm a lousy actress (even posing is hard during photoshoots) and people I work with also don't have the time.


So yeah, animation was in my head.

I'd like to show you a snippet but I'm scared my producer might kill me
( =A= ; ) I know you're reading so shhhh.


When it comes out, I'll share :D


I've only done 13-14 frames and am only happy with 7 of them. So I'll have to re-do the rest >_>;

Having sucked at Physics and Maths, animation was the last thing for me to do.


I also haven't been drawing on my tablet for a long time so I was surprised :D

I guess when you have determination, everything can work out.


Here's the first frame of it:

Is that me? Uh, let's say it "represents" me. LOL

I guess this will slightly be a roller-coaster ride. Emotionally.

It's so personal, so raw, so....lazy.

iMovie's a bitch to use, you know.

So yeah, hopefully I'll learn AfterEffects one day. Since the song itself is 4 minutes something...and 23 seconds of stuff already took 14 frames....and I have to scrap half of that...

*head hurts too much to do the math*

But yeah, hopefully I won't lose motivation for this!

Wish me luck!

Take care!

P.S: Btw, I'm one of the bloggers featured on wengie.com !! It's on this post ! :D wheee. Through that post I also found some blogs I know I'd be interested in reading from!

I personally love blogs with great reviews (on Asian products) and great photos and swatches. Even though my blog's not as good on those areas, I'm inspired by reading them XD

I wished I was more crafty~

I really wanna learn website and graphic design stuff!
