Bonfire Night!

Yes...I know I missed yesterday's update. But there is reason for that. Here goes the explanation:

Friday's crit went...well..badly. I did finish my changes and my animatic for it, which I shall link here once I resize it tomorrow just for development purposes. I went up first in the crit and it was pointed out that my film was well...pointless. And I agree. I wasn't that happy with it. So I listened to everything the tutors had to say, and James explained about there being 2 main story types in film, and I'd picked the harder one.

SO! Over the weekend, I wrote down a multitude of ways to change my idea, but keep things I was happy with, such as the character. I started storyboarding and what not, and I came up with something I am fairly happy with. Made notes, spoke to peers about it, got some feedback, altered it a bit. All that stuff. And I thought, hey! I can make that into a filmed storyboard/animatic by Monday night...i'll update then!

I was wrong. Not in the fact that I couldn't do it in the timeframe, but I never took into account that it was Bonfire Night...and I have a dog and 2 cats that are all terrified of fireworks. I spent the whole night looking after them and didn't get any work done at all except for the individual frames. So I appologise and will get the animatic up tomorrow.

And now, I shall leave you with a pic of my poor pooch, who decided it was safest to sit in the bath during all of the commotion...even though thats the loudest spot to be in ¬_¬

I'm tired and going to bed. Night.
