Still on my X-Mas Break. It's been quite a while since I updated this blog, but I needed something to do.
I have over 3 weeks left on my break and I can't say I've accomplished much.
My brother came to visit, he's leaving in a week to head back to Baltimore, I have moneys saved up to buy myself a nice X-Mas present, and I got the hard-bound book of The Watchmen. Overall, a nice Christmas if I say so myself.
FLS Update
I really wanted to get a lot accomplished over this break in terms of graphic design and short films. That hasn't been the case. This is mainly due to the following:
1.Procrastination
2.Video Games
3. Family
4.Traveling
5.Random "hang outage"
If I wasn't so occupied with those 5 factors, then I would have made 3 short videos by now and post them on youtube.
And the other factor that has delayed my "creative process" is youtube's new policies. Lately, they have been really hacking me off. They eliminated the bulletin feature, so I have no unearthly idea to update my friends on my progress reports for my films. All I can do is compile the clips together on my desktop, and slap them together later on. I'll be able to do this when I have more time..
Just a brief overview of what I had planned:
1. Special FX Demo Reel-This was involving me doing tons of tutorials over special effects (fireballs, soul drains, regeneration, etc) in order to flex my knowledge and work ethic in this field. After all, I'm going to put this stuff to good use later on.
2. Trailer for my film Game On (title pending). I was going to compose a simple trailer( in the style of Cloverfield?) about my latest and greatest project I'm hoping to accomplish before the year is over. I am still working on a script and if I'm lucky, I'll be able to shoot some test scenes before the break concludes.
3.TGR: Webisode 10. This has been delayed numerous times just like Duke Nukem Forever, but I have everything down: the script, the outline, the clips, the materials. I have to edit them all together and it will finally be over. I can move on with my life and potentially start Season 2 if I have high enough of demand. Or I'll just launch Season 2 regardless of feedback because I like doing the simple webshow from my own perspective of things.
4. Side Projects:
-Project Highlight-Putting games in the spotlight that are underrated or aren't played as much as AAA titles in the gaming world.
-Identity Crisis: I have a Clone?-Short film highlighting my twin I spotted last summer on TV at Comic Con?
-Rant Attack!-Pilot episode is mainly to appeal to fans. It completely revolves around my own public opinion about specific topics all ranging from entertainment, war, abortion, our nation, world peace, and so forth.
Very ambitious for just one person, but at least I have a list of things I would like to accomplish before I'm dead/job logged.
The last thing I have to share is I hope things work out for me in school. If I take summer classes, I still have more to take at my next college, but the confusing part is transferring over there with the least amount of headaches possible...
I believe that's it for now. Check back later(to those whoever seem interested) for more updates.
