Christy - week 6

This week has been a bit crazy, although I think everyone is feeling the push to get everything done. There is nothing quite so helpful for working as the flutter of thousands of minute details in the back of my brain! All in all things have been going all right. My movie is a bit slow going, but I was expecting that. It is a much larger undertaking than the last one that I accomplished and has all the hassles that come from larger volume.
Conceptually I am enjoying the switch from the illusion of moving through space to moving through ideas. The wider option of visual languages is rather freeing, although at the same time mildly scary in its vastness. All in all the major challenge I have dealt with so far in the movie has been with the figures. I knew they were going to be a challenge to begin with, but I feel light the statue went fairly smoothly. (Although it was most definitely a challenge to draw a figure piece by piece, and have it be proportionally correct in the end.) The challenge of drawing my friend and having her look like herself was tough. Also, then making the picture move is tough to say the least. The drawing style I chose might not have been the most conducive to that, but I am going to see how I can make things mesh better in the editing process, but first I need to finish the drawing stage. So, back to work....
