Stumble it!Well last night was a lot of fun. My nose stopped up and I kept having pathetic sneezing episodes. I’ve used about half my jar of salt for my netti pot, though most of it spilled out because my nose was so clogged up the water couldn’t get through.
And for those of you who are judging me for assaulting my sinuses with salt water, you haven’t felt the horrible effects of sinus pressure and the amazing relief a netti pot can bring you. It’s glorious.
I had another animation class today, which seems remarkably like the one I went to on Monday. We will be completing our 30 second short over the course of two semesters instead of one. We were able to watch some of the shorts done by last semester’s class, and they were pretty amazing. More amazing than the ones we watched for the other class. Amazing in a way that makes me have serious doubts about my animating abilities.
The whole thing is actually a little surreal. I’ve never found a need to involve myself in the whole film production process so I know close to nothing about it, but now I’m being completely immersed in it. Of course I knew I would be, but to actually see what I’ll be doing written in steps on a paper brings it a little closer to reality. Not only that, but since USC has one of if not the best film school in the country (I suppose it’s mostly competitive with NYU, UCLA, and AFI) I get access to professional equipment (sound studios, computer programs and computers, etc) actual ACTORS (USC has a deal with SAG, plus we have the school of theatre and I have befriended a handful of the students there), and MUSICIANS (USC has a film scoring program so they love to collaborate with the film students to get some working experience.)
Overall, it’s a pretty good deal. Now. If only I had a clue as to what I want to do.
Hm.
With Alotta Love,
