awesomesproutWell... ok.. so I woke up late :)
Just work today. 4-midnight. I'm looking forward to it. I LOVE my job :) Today I'm going to hand out mug awards to everyone I worked with last night and to my managers.
First I'm going to thank my managers for being so awesome and for hiring me.
Then, I'm going to award my co-workers from my shift yesterday because they were all AWESOME and made it VERY clear that if I needed ANY help or anything at all, they were readily available. And kept asking if I was ok about every 10 mins or so. Which was a very nice feeling.
Normally, I've always been trained via the, " Ok, you got it? GREAT! :: giant boot to the ass :: you're on your own! " method.
I really really like my job. Have I said that yet? :)
I start new classes tomorrow which I'm always excited about. This time around, it's just a continuation of the class I've been taking so it's not like I get to meet anyone new. Ah well. But it'll still be nice to move on from the harder stuff in the movie making process.
I had a really long talk this morning with my grandma. Sort of a, " Where did we come from? " talk. It turns out that I'm primarily Irish and German. I need to talk to my aunt to figure out a portion of the rest. My grandma was 3rd generation in terms of being born here and her great-great grandparents were immigrants from Ireland. And her dad was German. So on.. so forth.
It was nice to kind of figure a few things out. I'll probably never really know my full heritage just because my dad was adopted and he and I have never spoken so I don't know if I'll ever know that part of my history.
I guess I decided to ask her because I woke up this morning and was sort of just mulling through random things in my head. The mug awards, a project I want to do when I learn mocap and matchmoving w/3d animation, and how awesome all of my uncle's names are: James Michael West ( Mike was Michael James Baula.. weird huh? ), Brian Keeley West, and David Patrick West. So I just thought I'd call and see what I could find out.
She told me the last names of her side of the family. Can we say, hella irish? Yes. HELLA Irish. So that's cool n stuff.
Alright. I need to get ready for work but I hope everyone is well. I need to write down my project idea.
Oh heck, I'll just write it here.
Peace out.
When I take drawing bootcamp I'll be learning to draw with chalk and charcoal. I was going to take one of my better female chalk or charcoal figure drawings and turn it into a 3d animated character in a way. The scene would be first focused on the drawing to look just like a quick viewing. Then the drawing would pull herself off of the paper. After she stood up and stretched a bit she would walk behind an accordian screen with some clothing hanging on it. ( Figure drawings are typically nude. ) After being there for a few moments grabbing the clothes that are there, she comes out dressed and ready to go.
I'm sure it'll be tweaked but I just thought it'd be different.
