Everything is going good this week. Started to watch some of the films finally. The first film Kevin showed us in class I thought was really good and I hope the rest are at the same level, but I know better. For my next animations the directors want my proposals to be hyper-realistic. So I am looking at some tutorials online and last years archive to try and find some inspiration. Found a couple of idea but nothing concrete yet.
Also watched Helvetica today as was assigned by Shannon. She has been preaching to us since the beginning of the year of the importance of fonts. The documentary was really good though, I find myself analyzing and noticing fonts a lot more on billboard or buildings. Ill save my thoughts of the DVD for the 1 page paper we need to write for it. I have to say though that I look at fonts a whole new way. I also find myself trying to find other businesses that use helvetica, my menu this afternoon used helvetica. Another bit of useless information that is going to plague my mind with the rest of them but at least I have a new game to play in the city.

Spring Blog Post #1 (Jan. 18)
New semester so now I have to start doing these blogs again. Nothing really has changed. Lost a couple of troops in the offseason but picked up some more. Visions team already has all of us working with grading rubrics, making welcome back animations and what ever else they call for. There is going to be a bit of a learning curve for the new Vision staff but we need to be patient and help with whatever they need. They all have talents that can make Visions6 that much better. Like I always say, "The more the merrier."
It is taking me a little while to shake off the winter break dust. I have been falling behind a bit on the animations. However, thanks to Grace she normally has the submission date a week before it Jack post it. So if I am falling behind or procrastinating it still allows the animation to be posted on schedule. The Cinemixer animation came out pretty well, probably would have done a different soundscape if I had more time, but it will do for a 10 sec. animation.
Last thing, I was not expecting our first Visions class meeting to last for 6 hours on the first day since there were no screenings. But like I said before we have new troops in Visions6 so we need to be patient and helpful with any of their needs.
