Knackered
These last 3 weeks or so have been pretty tough for me. I've had a hard shot with tons of characters, and that has required some serious focus on my part to push it through to completion. I am happy to say that I 'finaled' it today, (Woo!) and now I can stop obsessing and worm my way back into reality. I always take it really badly when something isn't going that way I want it to, and the hard time I've been having was totally self-inflicted, I can assure you, so I am really pleased that I can stop beating myself up over stuff.
Hopefully with that small victory for the forces of good I'll be able to post a little more frequently again. I'm still working on one of my animator profile entries, but it's turning into quite a long process since I want to do it properly. Rest assured that when it's done it will be a captivating account of success, intrigue and terror. Not really, but if it keeps you coming back I'm going to say anything.
PS. I ordered a video iPod as a reward to myself. I am a super geek.

I have been going through a very similar experience with my shot (or rather sequence of shots) this week. Its only two characters, but wicked complicated. Lots of technical, physical stuff happening. I'll spare the grizzly details, but if involves a helicopter, a rope ladder, and a staff that has to break in half! eeks! Anyways, its one I have been struggling with and that always kinda brings me down too when that happens. I think it makes it all the more awesome when you finally get it done and out of the way. I also like the idea of rewarding yourself. :)

Good luck with your shot, Barry. It sounds like a tough one.
Rewards are good. I get mine on Monday!

i have muddled thru a scene for a certain short film *restrained self-promotion* and it still needs a lot of work, but i started on another scene and letting it rest for a while has really helped. my rewards to myself tend to be sleep. i really am trying to get it done by feb or march. wishful thinking maybe, but i'm trying.
