I’m still alive…

I’m still alive, I just haven’t had the time nor interest in updating lately. After reading Trine’s blog I’ve decided I really should take the step to update, as she’s been so kind to put a link on her blog to mine.

Yesterday it was exactly 2 months til I am to leave for Australia, which is a fairly frightening though. I’m really looking forward to a new chapter in my life with the new school and (hopefully) new friends, but leaving behind old routines with friends etc, can be a bit of a pain in the butt.

Lately I’ve been working alot to earn some cash to survive and save, though the saving didn’t go the way I planned. It’s going to suck having to leave the job as I’ve really started to enjoy it. I feel that I’m doing alright and I know what I’m suppose to do most of the time so that gives me a bit of an energy boost. The people I work with are just a delight talking to as well, so it’s going to be hard leaving it.

Anyway, I’ll update more later on when I actually have some interesting things to talk about :p

A small update…

Well, it’s been a long time since I have written on this blog, but some nice things has happened to me the past month.

First, I have finished my 3D film project for school, so I am now officially done at the Noroff University. It was a nice and hard run, but eventually I finished.

Second, I have now FINALLY passed my IELTS test (english test for Deakin University) so I have now gotten an acceptance letter from Deakin University. I will be travelling on January 25th of 2009. I’M GOING TO AUSTRALIA!

Third, I’ve started a new job.. Well, it’s not exactly a NEW job, but a new position at the same place as I worked. The work is different though, it’s alot of fun and it’s very physical, but I do enjoy physical things every now and then.

Thanks for listening

The animation is just around the corner…

So, today I finished rigging my last character. So far my Bear, Dwarf and the Dwarven King is rigged so now I have to finish off my last scene so I can make a block to see how everything is going to be.
After that it’s animation time, I got rougly 4 weeks left so I need to step up and continue my hard work.
I’ve been really good lately, I stopped playing WoW in order to get more school work done, and I’ve only spent like 3 hours on GTA since I got it in my mail day after launch. That’s not bad if you ask me who’s a gaming addict!
Now, if only I could find a girl then my life would be on the right track.

Know anyone?

My precioussss…

So, today I got my copy of the (most likely) “GoTY” and it looks sweet. To bad I won’t be able to play it much until I’ve finished my school assingment. As for school, the assignment is coming along nicely. I’ve rigged my dwarf, the bear and I’ve started on my second dwarf. Once that is done I’m ready to do a pre-visualization, if I have time. After that it’s pure animation, YEAH BABY!

I know I haven’t been a good boy and updated this blog in a long time, but I haven’t had the time nor reason to do so, but I’m sorry. I’ll try to be better from now on.

Anyway, here’s my preciousssss…

Work in progress (and a new mobile)..

A couple of days since my last post, but I’ve been busy working on one of my last assignments. This assignment was about a character who has to interact with a cliff (mountain cliff f.ex.) and I didn’t want to do something like walking over, jumping over etc. as I’m sure alot of other people have done the same thing in this assignment.

I chose to do something new, parachute jumping

So far it looks fun, and I’m still on the animation stage, but it’s not alot of animation which is required, but I Have to make it seem like the character is alive.

Other news, I’ve bought a new mobile phone, the Sony Ericsson W910i, cost me 3500kr.. However, I can’t use it until January 25th as I’m awaiting my new SIM card.

Picture below:

 

The pain is over, life is about to begin.. in a week!

So the two first assignments has been delivered on time, and now I need to get my third assignment done by next thursday. I doubt I’ll have a problem with that if I work very hard.

I moved stuff about in my room now and I got my new sleeping couch up, so I’ll post a picture of that once I get home.

My first assignment is finished…

At 02.15 CET I managed to finish up the animation on the block and rough of my ACT 1 assingment, I’ve got to add the stuff to premier/vegas then render it out and it’s done.

I need to work very hard the upcoming 2 days in order to finish the last part of my ACT 1, which is the clean animation, but I’m confident that I’ll manage to do this. I’ll start working on it at school tomorrow and continue once I get home.

Already finished ACT 2, and since I got an extension on ACT 3 I can fully focus on my clean which needs to be done by Thursday at 10.00 CET. I’ve sent the interview out, so that’s the production 1 oblig as well. On thursday I’ll start working on… wait.. Why am I even writing this? Nobody reads this blog anyway..

Guess it’s nice to think someone cares oO

School work in progress..

So, not only is this my first post, but I’m writing it in agony.

At the moment we’ve been handed 5 assignments which is to be done at 10th January and 17th January, and we were handed these before christmas vacation. The problem is that I wasn’t at home during christmas, I was at my brother’s house and celebrated there with the family. I would have to work on my assignments when I got home. Another problem is that the week before christmas I was working a bit, and I still am every now and then so I can get some money to survive. I wrote a mail to my teacher and I got an extension on one of the three that’s going to be delivered on Thursday. Now I won’t have to deliver the third one until 17th so I am fairly happy right now.

But back to work with the last one!
