Still from my animation without live footage. Frame 260 (end of 10th sec).

while making my final, I am listening and broadcasting some music on Grooveshark.

I'm getting thrilled by my animation, and so I am pretty much sucked inside, though I already imagine how I will be celebrating after it's done.

Also I thought, that pretty much everything I do is about beginning.

frame 220

Still working on the same stuff again, frames that were in corrupted file. Flash CS6 crushed and I couldn't open last saved version, so I lost a day of work. Hoped that my anger could help me to regenerate it really fast, but it didn't happen, so I'm drawing it from scratch. I was mad at myself for not saving it on usb before, though this accident gave me push and I changed my working place to school's pc lab again. Bigger screens and safer systems.. Gosh, Flash CS6 crushes a LOT, and it's not possible to save it in earlier versions, so you are obliged to work in Flash CS6 since you once started.

But I'm getting some energy from food, coffee, always music, and ready to work all night long. Hopefully I'll get over lost frames pretty soon and will do 70 more :)

frame 205

Some little amazing boy or actually growing up man back in Russia is having his 25th birthday today, and I am on frame 205, what a beautiful coincidence. Like also crossing with projects' elements/themes with some 3D mates (I am basically surrounded by wonderful guys).

I need some fresh head, and only sleep can help. So I'll continue rotoscoping flesh (*joke) tomorrow, hopefully after talking to dad on skype.

frame 156

When you have feeling, that everything you do is ugly and beautiful at the same time. This eternal nature of polarities: and the way should be found above it, just by enjoying this ing/yang combination.

day 6 frame 110

Locked myself home with cell phone off and my fears on. 

In the result watched a bunch of tv series, a couple of movies and moved just a little bit.

From now on gonna sit on it until passing out in the morning.

I miss people.

Заперла себя дома с выключенным телефоном и с включенными страхами.

В результате посмотрела сериалы, пару кино и продвинулась всего немного.

С настоящего момента буду сидеть на над проекта до утра, пока не выключусь.

Я скучаю по людям.

Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

This was an Animation of my childhood. My father gave it to me on VHS tape as a present on my 8th birthday (date can be confused). I enjoyed Pocahontas so much more than these other white Disney princesses. And of course I like Hayao Miyazaki, how he shows strong female characters. 

In reality boys are so often scared of strong women, they are afraid, when a girl can see all the crap that they have through a made up 'cool' personality. It takes time to learn how to appreciate truth and how to respond to gifts.

final project: rotoscoping

day 2 frame 35

I deleted facebook to no to get distracted, but there are still enough things that distract me around, 'cause I am working on my project at school. I am trying to be "angrier" and give up talking to people all the time, but then I see someone who I know, and I just genuinely want to interact.

Yesterday I left school at 3am and worked on animation around 7 hours before that. I was satisfied, though I had just 1 sec done. It takes a lot of time to get into the working process, and it took me time to figure out what exactly I am animating on live action footage and how to import in into Flash. But from now on I'm gonna move faster and at least have 6-7 (8,9,10,11,12 - as much as I can have but without manic fixation) hours a day of effective work, and I'm not gonna draw each frame entirely: it's each second frame and without background, just some characters.

Thanks to Yellow Submarine animation, Lucy in the sky with Diamonds song by The Beatles, and Waking Life's creators for the biggest inspiration. I really enjoy what I am doing. Life is magical.

And these are examples of music that I listen while working: 

Amorphous Androgynous - The Witchfinder

Cocorosie - Houses

The Beatles - Come Together

Перевод для мамы, папы, семьи и для всех желающих :)

Я удалила фейсбук (и вконтакте, хоть я и посещаю временами), чтобы не отвлекаться, но вокруг достаточно отвлекающих моментов, потому что я работаю в школе (и конечно еще высыпаюсь, чтобы быть в форме), и я стараюсь быть "злее" и не говорить с людьми все время, но потом я всегда вижу кого-то, с кем хочется искренне скоммуницировать.

Вчера я ушла из школы в 3 ночи, удовлетворенная после 7 часов работы над анимацией, хотя сделала всего 1 секунду от общей работы (всего 32 секунды анимации). Много времени занимает включение в рабочий процесс, и еще у меня заняло время нахождение стиля в котором я буду анимировать мой фильм, и как импортировать материал фильма во Flash. С настоящего момента я собираюсь работать быстрее или хотя бы с достаточной регулярностью, чтобы быть готовой с этой частью кино - это начальные титры - на уже следующих выходных (13,14 июля). Я рисую на каждом втором кадре, и не весь кадр целиком, а только некоторых персонажей.

Спасибо Yellow Submarine анимации, песни The Beatles "Lucy in the sky with diamonds", и фильму "Пробуждение жизни" за самое большое вдохновение. Я действительно получаю удовольствие от того, чем занимаюсь. Жизнь волшебна.

Специальный привет и любовь бабушке, с которой очень давно не говорила, Анечке, папе, и конечно дорогой матушке и всей семье.
