OMG it's 4.10am and my animation is still rendering :( i still have to put all my mocies together and add music. Then at 8.20am get up and walk in to uni for a 4 hour lecture in which a very tired me will present my animation.

It's all been going wrong here. My 'copy' of premiere has funked up it won't let me use the mpeg 4 codec that i have to use. Now using virtual dub to put them together but this means no fading transitions :( . One of my renders failed twice which means i have to leave it out.

My presentation is a critical review of my project so far. (so far it's looking shoddy) They are going to rip me apart :( i mean yeah the smoke and the lighting rocks but cause of teh transitions i'm screwed. I was on a first for the project so far now this is going to bring me down to like a 2.1 then i just gotta hope the final version gets me another first.

My brain hurts. I have learnt that 3d animation is too unstable to leave to the night before. Theres a lesson there kidds.

If i get the time tomorrow i will post a link to my animation. It's only 30 seconds and it's for a bbc-i channel Spark. Which i happen to do student stuff for.

Well off to finish it all. Had a rant feel abit better head hurts though.

it was a 3dmax animation unit so i didn't really get too much of a choice. but you'll all be glad to hear that i got my 1st :)

8.20: woke up
8.20 and 5 seconds: fell asleep
9.40: woke up smallo heart attack at being late by 40 mins and it takes 20 mins to get to uni.
10.10: get in to lecture 15 people turn and look at me (i think they fancy me)
12.20: still in lecture watching peopls animations
1.00pm: get out of seat and present animation
1.10: people clap and i get my grade (smugness takes hold of me)

i will upload my animation to my website in a min for anyone that wants to see i have alot of changes to make to the animation but you will get the jist.

Flash is crap if you wanna do advanced stuff, plus it takes about 5 million years longer.

Yeah good point. I'm sure the anim is more than enough for the BBC though.

ANY computer application is too unstable to leave for the night before. You can guarantee that if an app is going to screw up, it's going to be when it's urgently needed.......
