Twitter | Tumblr | Patreon | Defans Amis: A comic about Drugs, Bombs and Dead Things So I've been working on a Defans Amis short animation over the past month and a half or so. A pretty notable feat considering it was 7-8 weeks to go from start to finish on a *17* minute long animation. I haven't been sleeping much. I started working on it because I had been sitting on some plans to do some looping gifs of Alette and Beau related things, and a composer I know asked for something to compose and play live to for a project at his college.
I learned today that evidently his lecturer decided - with just two weeks before the performance and almost a full 2 months after the start of the project - that the composer should do some other kind of performance, which happened to include some stills, but *NO* animation I had been working on. -n- Neither of us are happy.
The animation will still be completed soon and will still get it's music, but holy shit I would probably drop out of that class or just accept the shitty grades if that was how my professor approached the work I did. He was also unclear about the deadlines and performance dates as well so??? Augh. On the upside I can chill some take more time with everything and time things more like I'd prefer.
But seriously. AUGH. AUUGH.

I suppose, we stubborn creatures that make a decision and stick to them are a rarity this day in age. Is this lecturer, some form of instructor? I here the word lecturer. I immediately think of my evil English teacher from high school. The woman made us dissect books them compare them to movies, and I really don't think Oliver'n Company, is really comparable to Oliver Twist.
That question being asked the big one comes to play, what now? Will you continue with the animations despite the sudden change? Or see if your spine can bend backwards to match the changing whims of this...creature?
Yeah, I have no intention on dropping the animation (especially with only about 10% of the project left to complete and 7 weeks of work) and Kent, the composer, will still make a soundtrack for it, it's just not being used for this specific performance. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING, but it's not my grade, so whaddaya gonna do. On the upside, the change doesn't really demand any extra work on my part and gives me more time to make things look nicer.
Don't let it get ya down though man, as long as you get a degree, it matters not what level it is.
On the upside, it mostly just means the animation wont be used for that specific performance and will still otherwise be getting a soundtrack and whatnot, but now I can time it more like I'd prefer.
