So this was supposed to be posted on January 30th. I'm usually all for doing these, but honestly, this one kind of got away from me. So, the normal bit. What did I work on this week? We needed to get our animatic to a fairly standard place across the entirety of its runtime. And so we set out on a quest as a group. I had shots 73-76 (a total of about 340 frames. It wasn't hard, and it didn't take terribly long as I got around to us, but I felt like I had to shove aside other assignments in other classes in order to get this done.
So, without further ado, here's my shots.
So, anyway, that was what I was supposed to have done two weeks ago. And then I fell off of the world for a bit. I started feeling sick on February 1st, and it knocked me out for most of the week ending 2/5. My sickness took all of my energy that week and I got no work done. For this week (ending in 2/12) I did apparently (finally) contracted Covid, having a positive test on Monday. It's been a little sucky, but not nearly as bad as being sick last week was. I wonder if last week was when I actually caught the virus and just happened to get the positive test Monday after one of my parents lost their sense of taste and we collectively went "well shit....."
In addition to my health being awful, I've been having a lot of motivation issues exacerbated by mental health issues. On top of that, a close friend of mine has dropped off the map, and all the worst things that could possibly be are running through my brain. In order to help combat all of this in the future, I have made appointments with a psychiatrist. Hopefully with help I can curb my depression and anxiety so that this won't be an issue as we close out on the project. And to be 100% honest, I feel terrible about having not produced anything since my couple scenes. It's affected all of my classes, but this being a group project with people I actually know... Well it sucks. I've kept in contact with my group, so they understand what's up, but yeah, I'm going to need to make up for it when everything feels better
So, yeah, going forward, I'm currently still working on scatter terrain for an environment. I'm already feeling a bit better health-wise, but now I just have to start working on that whole motivation and going to school thing...
