And so I passed my animation class, and I now have, finally, an "advanced rough cut" (the best and really only way I can describe it). This is the best and only way to describe it because, to have gotten to this point, it is the combined effort of roughly three people over 10 months of straight work (a year and a half alltogether, with a few distractions in between, and not always disciplined)... so I think needless to say it's a huge landmark to reach (thus, the "advanced" bit). But, as always, it still needs tinkering, including a little thing called sound, hence the "rough" bit of the term. I'm happy about where its at though, as happy as one can get towards an unfinished project, and am willing to show it to anyone interested or curious, as I finally have something hefty to show for a year and half's worth of effort.

So I guess consider this site dead for a while, as I'm not gonna want to do anything animation-related for a looooooooong long long time. I really want to pimp the hell out of this but I guess all in due time, or at least til I forget about it all again! Til then, g'bye

an update for those curious: the animation WILL be done by december 8th. so this means a) i am effectively giving up the rest of the quarter (like i haven't done so already) and the entire month of november to devote thyself unto this sucker b) i might die in the process. but! it will be done by december. if i could figure out how to post quicktime movies/ find server space i would.

Okay, since its absolutely ungoogleble and thus, nonexistent, here's at least a half a guitar tab for "Heartbeat" by Annie:

Verse: F#m D Bm C#m (bass step line on low E: 4^0 [open])

And for the chorus... I still don't know yet. Hits a G bass note, but I get too distracted by everything else in the song to make sense of those sweet delicious chords. But here it is, twice for emphasis and Google sensors: "Heartbeat" Annie guitar tab (verse, that is).
