Week 4

Week 4 was not good. Paralysing fear about what I am going to do when I have finished my degree has manifested itself as procrastination (I swear it is the fear and not flat out laziness) and focus on other, unessential projects. However, all the dialogue has been recorded, the music is also done (though requires some adjustment), the timing of the intro is getting close, and all the backgrounds have been drawn and scanned (though not yet coloured) . As a result the week 5 milestone is achievable and may actually be achieved. Apologies for lack of images... I'll chuck some up in the next few days... maybe even tomorrow.

I'm finding this process boring, and un-engaging. I take accountability for the fact that I'm inherently lazy, but I think it's also because I'm being forced into work I don't have as strong an aptitude for; that is drawing, colouring... highly detailed orientated tasks. As I mentioned I am wondering what I will do in a few weeks time when (all going well) I graduate. I primarily want to write, but directing is something I also really enjoy. I also want the skills to be able to get projects off the ground, so producing is also something I want to take on. I'm using these desires as justification for my poor performance with Q Men (which btw I STILL do not know how to write 'QMEN', 'Q Men', 'Q-Men', 'Q-MEN', 'Qmen'. Dunno. Flat out dunno.) I know the piece will be fine in the end, but I have to admit, though I really like the concept and characters, I'm primarily using this project as a vehicle to see what it is I know and what I need to know.
