I can't believe you're reading this!
I had my portfolio review today and I have mixed feelings about it. Portfolio basically goes like this: If you have a production course you have to have review. In review all of the head professors of the film program watch what you have to submit (usually your final film for said production course), then basically tell you how much you suck.
So my first one, the wolf documentary, went surprisingly okay. I mean, I still got shit on, but it wasn't as bad as I had made it out to be.
My second one, for FIL 321 Animation, sucked. I worked hard on my animation and it just got shit on. It's a parody of video games, a knight walks through the forest, encounters a rabbit and tries to hit it but misses, the rabbit hits him and he loses one health. The sound effects repeat over a sun-moon cycle and then he has one health left. He does a power attack, misses, rabbit hits him and he dies. Just supposed to be a bit of a haha for people who play games.
Now, I didn't expect any of them to get the joke in its entirety because I doubt any of the professors play games. But seriously, they didn't have to be all like "well I didn't get it so you suck" (not exactly like that, but kinda). As artists we make our work for an intended audience. I made it clear that the professors were not my intended audience. But seriously? You have nothing good to say about it? It's a 2 minute flash animation that I put a lot of time into and is clearly better than some of my classmates' works. Ughhhhhhhh!
I'm just glad it's over with. Fucking bullshit. I had to sit in that damn room for 7 fucking hours. Oh boy I can't wait to do it at the end of next semester :/
I also had to make a game, this was for CAR 233 2D Computer Gaming. We made games for the Droid. Mine actually worked flawlessly and the teach enjoyed it. You go out onto the quad and "collect" batteries. Everything is GPS based, your position and the randomly spawned batteries. When your battery dies game over. Simple, fun, efficient. So that kinda made me feel a bit good.
I've got 2 papers left to write, a 5 pager and a 10 pager. 5 page due tomorrow and 10 page due thursday. Then I'm a free man and I'll be headed back to good ol' Connecticut thursday.
Friday is supposed to be 46 deg and sunny. I intend on riding the shit out of my motorcycle all day.
