Mood

Okay, so uni's in full swing right about now. What has been a bit of a pisser is that what I thought was gonna be one large project across the whole year is actually two projects with about 2 months production each. Couple this with the general Weebl workage (there'll be a new Cat Face next week btw), and the mountain of games I totally need to be playing in the coming months (is it so much to ask to just skive off work so I can play Brutal Legend with Tim Shafer?), I'm a bit irked. DAMN YOU, PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES!

So as far as the project goes, I'm passing on the Wonchop pilot for now, namely cos a) my tutor didn't care for it and b) it'd be pretty damn complex. So yeah, I'm going with the Date for One idea, and am currently in the process of asking various animators whom I'm somewhat familiar with for advice on how to improve my ideas.

All updates on my uni work will be uploaded to my blog at http://wonchopmonkeyman.blogspot.com, which still has a gay ass image embedding system. Right now I've got a bunch of doodles and a really crappy animatic to show. If you've got any feedback on it, please leave some.

I'm also shortlisted for this Gamer Camp thing happening in November, having a phone interview about it the other day. Will hear about that next week, whilst worrying my little asperger head on how I'm supposed to go about my routine. Lord knows I may actually have to...*gasp*...get up before noon! D=

In other stuff I'm thinking of going to the Eurogamer convention at the end of the month.
I'll also no doubt be attending the Flip Animation Festival at the beginning of November too.

S'all for now.
