Hey guys, how's the world out there. Been the longest time since i write.
Well, i've been busy adapting to the new life...work is fun as always... tho, for those who are keen in entering the CG industry, bear in mind it's not all about cartoons..animation...3d...and happily ever afters. It's a long process with alot of hardwork from a big group of people relying on each other. Can't really say much on the things i'm doing in the studio, but perhaps on how things are done.
The first few months were tough on the hour clock...found myself camping out the morning hours to do stuffs like compositing the final ouputs of the different portions that makes up the whole animation such as the characters, backgrounds, colour correction, lightings, and such. Learnt a whole lot i shud say. The toughest i started out with was lighting cause over the years....i kinda slide off too much from the artistic background and sunk in more to the technical side...so i had problems looking at good contrasting lighting. Not that my eyes are problematic ya. Haha. But things are looking up as the process goes by...DK gave some sort of a pat-on-the-back motivation saying great improvements.
One thing i've come to love in this business is the team spirit...we are the family...we are the village...we are everything together. No one accomplishes anything alone. A few weeks back, i had to rig two characters...the thing is...there is no pressure to finish it...but i kinda placed pressure on myself to come up with it fast cos the animators who will be using them are facing killer deadlines...see, the longer it takes me the the thinner that line will be, so i just had to push for it. Kinda took me four days for the first character with two unslept nights. Ally saw me the second unslept day i came and sat at my desk...i told her OMG my eyes are giving up. She laughed and told me to go home and sleep...DK wud have done so too. But i stayed up a day more to help troubleshoot any buggy'ness. It's a norm...how fantastic your rigging is, an animator is sure bound to break your character rig. Haha. Good job guys...it's the only way everybody can learn. Well, took a whole day after to sleep!
To sum things up, so far work is cool...but it has no respect for time. While walking back from lunch today...CH said that in his church...there is only one other individual who works in the creative industry...and when he mentioned to his other fellow mates that he has to work late most of the time...they said how cud the boss treats him so bad. He gotta explain that it's how the whole industry is...nothing to do with ill treating bosses and such. Haha.
Aite aite....before u get the wrong idea about the job being a 24/7 stand guard duty...it's not always like that. More like a rubber band...sumtimes it stretches sumtimes it doesn't.
Okay, other things in the world...big-Z kinda have a new gf. Well, nothing is for certain but things are looking towards it. I know Ummi won't approve of it...cos she's still holding on to the picture-perfect of the previous gf. Met the new one last saturday while i'm out playing pool with big-Z. The new one brought two others...and haha tried to set me up with one. So not my type. Even caught me up in a situation of photo-taking. Not to be a party-spoiler...kinda just go along with it. But i have to say...some other one actually came up in my mind while i was taking the photo. Guess when someone leaves a footprint in you...even in the smallest ways, the steps you take to treasure them are huge. Okay, need some perspectives...will talk to the usual kaki's soon.
Met the Pet team members the day before...for those not acquinted...peeps from AnL, my previous family. Joined them for steamboat, and we bowl after. Scored two strikes...not too bad for a rusty bowler ey. Haha.
Okay....super heavy downpour outside....super lightning crashes...shall retire from the pc for the moment. Talk to u guys again soon`
