I didn't know what to title it, so I took whatever the advert at the time was selling. xD
Okay, yeah, I'll post here periodically. This thread is thine.
You can reply if you really feel like you need to. If you only want to say 'PM me any time you want to,' thank you, but don't bother. "xD If I DO need to talk to someone, I know who here knows me well enough, so. Yeah. <3
There's gonna be cursing. I've got a pretty little sailor's mouth. C;
School f**kin' reeks.
Which is weird, considereding I'm one of those kids who'd rather go to school than the mall ANY day of the week. Ha ha. Ha. Also weird because, well, I finally got Animation class. And it turns out that's probably going to be my most dreary class of the year, at least so far.
Other than English, which only sucks because I [and others up to my...level? I'm majoring in writing at my high school, so] am probably smarter than 50% of the class if not more. Actually feels really weird to say, kinda makes me feel good. I dunno. I've never been looked at as 'intelligent' by anyone other than my family, and even then some of my family thinks I'm a complete airhead.f**kin' stupid, if I say so myself.
But anyway.
Animation class.
I'm one of those kids who takes projects to the highest level as possible. Strange, 'cause I'm pretty lazy. xD But yeah, I over-achieve sometimes.
I think I'm personally bad at animation BECAUSE I'm lazy while, at the same time, loving the idea and getting completely motivated about it. Two conflicting things, never very good results. Blah. But this isn't about that, not really. It's bout my input in a group project.
I'll start by saying participating in an artistic group project has to be one of the most f**ked-up things I've ever done. Ever. I hate working in groups for art unless it's something extremely simplistic. For example, I worked in a group to make a shinyhappypeopleholdinghandsandshit poster for history and I worked in a group to make a font style. Simple.
This, though, this isn't simple. This takes actual brainpower to complete. We're working in a group to create an animation.
I suck at coming up with ideas if I can't work on it myself. Unlike most people in my group and/or class I try to incorperate everyone's strengths. What do you want to do, group? What can we all do equally? Who is better at this and this than we are? Can you draw this, group? What sorts of things do we all like?
Yeah, no one would ever answer.
So I thought, Hell, I'll just throw shit out there.
"Horror?"
I got this look like I'd asked them if they'd like to come skinny-dipping with me and my grandparents.
"Okay...that's a no," I said. "How about comedy?"
Someone smiled, that's a good sign. But no one said anything. Guess they were all off in their heads creating brilliant plans or some shit. I gave up on actually discussing like a normal group and began thinking and writing down ideas. Some were serious, some were comedic, ect. Anything that popped into my head as I had no idea what we, as a group, all had one opinion on.
We told eachother our ideas [one group member just agrees with whatever she thinks sounds interesting, she sat there drawing anime shit [no offense] the entire time the other two of us were thinking. Pah,] and I seemed to have the most. Probably because I'm not too bad at this sort of thing, I can f**kin' sneeze out new characters and plots/storylines/ect. ideas daily if I really wanted to. Not saying all of them are GOOD [xD] but hey, it's some sort of talent. Ha ha.
Anyway, going back. The other group member didn't even seem to listen. Gave me...a nod, I think. I don't remember. I think maybe a nod, yeah. Sounds right. But that's all the feedback I got.
Except for, a few minutes later:
"I think the first five or six would be over ten minutes."
"We could always shorten it, I mean, they're just pretty basic."
"And the rest don't work."
D: "Why not?"
"Well, I can't draw people."
Well f**kIN' hell. YOU can't draw people. "I can draw people..."
Again, 'skinny-dipping with my grandparents face.'
But I continue, God knows why. "I mean, we don't need to be detailed. You're in Visual Arts, I'm sure you could eyeball it just fine, yeah? Look-" /scribble scribble/ "-it's not that hard. Doesn't even have fingers, y'know?"
Repeat earlier face, but pretend that not ONLY are we going skinny-dipping with my grandparents, but YOUR grandparents are coming along too!
":C
Got the shoulder.
f**kin' hate the shoulder.
Not the cold shoulder. THE shoulder isn't cold, it's f**kin' hot, a sort of muggy, gross heat. The kind puppies die in and shit.
Okay, so, my ideas were shouldered and NOW we're supposedly doing the animation on a character who has a dream about an evil worm with a pirate sword who tries to kill said character. The character wakes up to see a worm, runs away.
I'm too nice.
I laughed like it was some great comedic genious. "That's great! Oh God, I love it. A friggin' worm, that's amazing."
I should've gave her the naked-grandmother-WHERE? face.
I think I've realized why I want to direct films: if I'm not in charge, my ideas are constantly shouldered. Put to the side, stolen. Constantly. I think online is the only place where people actually take my ideas into consideration and actually go THROUGH with them.
This fact sucks, in my opinion, merely because whenever I try to get my ideas off the bench and into the game I have to debate to the point of arguing with the person, and that's bullshit and a waste of my time.
Makes me give up, and then I get pissed off even more.
f**k.
I'll add more if I want to. C: Comment if you want to, yaddayaddayadda.
