Currently it is 1.40-ish and 1.30-ish on my workplace's computer. Yups. I'm currently in a studio working. Whee! XD

It has been a while since I last updated. Just how much time gets into the crevices of my life and fills in the gaps of it. Before you know it, suddenly so much time has passed since the last post.

Life has been a helluva bz as of late. My final project has officiallly been done. Now it is just a matter of waiting for the screening period.

Looking back I get a slight shock as I realised just how long it took to actually get it done. I believe it took my batch nearly 1 year to get it completed. How time flies.

A word of note to all out there who don't know about animation. Animation ain't a walk in the park. It requires alotta time and manpower. My team was a team of 4 cum 3 working on a 10 minute short film. It took us 1 year, from pre production to post production to get it completed. And even then it ain't exactly pass a TV series standard. So here's a hard factoid for those who don't know.

Well, I bring this up cos of how many ppl wave the phrase "just animate it" around so freely. Sometimes I get an animation request that seems highly amusing or just plain out of the question. First things first : funding, time and manpower.

A Maya license goes by the K's. And that's just one license for computer. So you can imagine the budget that is needed for making an animated feature.

Well, that slight rant aside, I've started working. It's interesting how I got here actually.

I have a few colleagues here who I talk to rather well with, 2 of whom have pretty good deep philosophies in life. We usually talk about life. one of them spoke of how there's more to life than money. Life to her, is all about relationships with people. It isn't about making money as it is about the ties and connections we have with people we mix and interact with.

I did state that in the end, as we lie to rest in the grave, we can't bring the money or material possessions with us. But the impressions and impacts we leave on the lives of others will carry on. Your name lives on even after you've left. That is immortality indeed.

But anyways, back to how I got here. Relationships with people indeed did bless me with this position I am in. I got the direction from a junior of mine who just offered a freelance opportunity. An interview and well, here I am.

It is amazing indeed how connections can branch out so far and wide. Indeed no man is an island. Without the help of others life is quite hard. We are all connected to each other, one way or another, directly or indirectly and whether we like it or not. XD

Well, the studio I'm currently in is quite a nice environment. To say that it is a pure animation studio, or editing studio, or advertising and whatever not is to wrongly label it. Basically this studio, at best I would describe it, is a creative studio. As in a studio that has the essence of creativity. We're talking ideas, concepts and all things self expression. Of course the studio does industry works to support itself but aside from that it's aims are purely that or artistry. Qutie an interesting studio, being that it is so hard to find a studio such as this in this region. Either that or my scope of the industry is at best pin-point minimalisitc.

Well, I'm only a week old worker here. So slow and steady does it I guess. Still trying to let the feel of the studio enter into my system. Currently as a pet project for the studio, while absorbing and getting the feel of the essence of the studio I'm designing a character that represents it. Still in the rough stages of it.

That aside, family is okay, life goes on.

Time spent with a special someone has made life more brighter. ^_^

Altho I must say there're times when I don't get her, nor do I understand the way her crazy mind works. She's whack in that sense. >_>"

She's made out of randomnity I must say. Like she was born from that concept itself or something man. Her mind I tell you... =.="

But she brings smiles and laughs to my life. Although I must say she sometimes gets insecured easily so I'm trying to help her up her confidence. She's has so much she deserves and that I believe.

Altho the way she treats her family and me remains to be questioned. She treats me okay. But the way she treats her family is so different, as different as how black and white are. But then again, her family interactions are quite different and interesting in itself. Tis like she's the way she is cause of how her family interacts with each other. No child is a tainted piece of paper. All children start white and ended up dirty due to influences by people who want to shed off their negative influences and say that such deeds / actions are justified by their daily sufferings.

But that aside she's still special and a better person than worse. Nobody's perfect definitely. But I think she's special in her own way. Even under all that upbringing and such she's the shining bright person among her family members. ^_^

Currently during free times I'm playing RO. Although awaiting the arrival of Starcraft 2.

All you gamers (well if not all then a majority of em) out there should know that feeling. The long awaited game arriving. Damn man! Watching the in-game demo drives me nuts with anticipation. I just wonder I have time to play tho. T.T

Ha ha. Perhaps I would.

Hopefully. XD

Well, anyways, my entry ends here for now. May all be happy always and find their light in their paths.
