She’s a-crackin’
That’d be me. A-crackin’.
Easter holidays are coming up, I’ve got one last class tomorrow before we get a week off school. Does this mean we get a lovely break from projects and deadlines and thumbnailing and sketching and wireframing and drawing and presenting and researching? A big fat NO.
They actually assigned us stuff to work on over the break. All of them did. So it’s not a break. It’s the time to finalise everything we have going at the moment. So by the time we come back from “holidays”, we will have finished our drawings, our poster should be pretty much done, we should have fully-skinned wireframes for SIX web pages, the short animation we’re storyboarding tomorrow (one of THREE) should be pretty much done by the time we’re back in class. The research we’re doing for our case study in marketing should have been gathered and reviewed by then. The “progressive value” drawings should be ready for submission.
I’m cracking. I’m not joking. I am seriously cracking.
The problem is that I’ll be out of town from the 7th of April and won’t be back till Sunday 11th. I work the following Monday and Tuesday starts the school week. Hell week. So from tomorrow. I have Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday to work on everything. I guess I’m lucky I wasn’t able to grab extra shifts at work. Not making money this weekend but it’s a blessing I have that time to finish school stuff.
You think four days is enough? I really don’t think so but it better be. I’ve mapped out what needs to be done and I’ve spread them over the four days and have decided I’m bringing the visual diaries for drawing and animation so I can finish my thumbnails and work on my storyboards for animations #2 and #3. It should work out fine since I’m staying at an arts lodge in Byron Bay. I can mingle with the vrais artistes and grab a few ideas from them. So I’m hoping that works out nicely.
