I'm not even going to try and explain or make excuses for this. Just note that it's INCOMPLETE and NOT what I was supposed to have been doing with her. I started on this just to test body movement. And I'm not clear where I want to go from here. You might want to watch it a second time because 3 seconds is reaaaaaaaaaly fast. Oh yeah no excuses...
Now onto the main crap changelog in which I say don't read any further unless you're just super hyper ultimate mega bored.

Hmm…today was kind of interesting but maybe I’ll blog about that tomorrow (or whenever I post this). Anyway, I still haven’t gotten blender 2.46 to load the video so I’m going to TRY and go back to working with 2.45 although I don’t really wanna. If it’s just for this one thing, I guess it’s ok until I figure out what’s wrong or give up on 2.46.
Heh. What I’m trying to do is sort of working for once…but now that I think about it. I’m going about this the wrong way because it works for the first part but not the last. I think I’m going to still do it for the first part. I dunno why but looking at this particular preview shot I made…makes me oddly happy. I had to change Sakura’s color to plain but this is kind of good really since I still don’t know what color to really make her but with this it doesn’t matter. I’m going to stop here and switch over for the next day’s part.

Ah yeah.. that issue still hasn’t been worked out so I say screw it and back to 2.45 for now. If I have to, I’ll continue designing in 2.46 but animate in 2.45. Ay…it’s pretty late to even try doing anything but whatever. I need to get back into this again as it’s been like 5 days.
(3:00 AM) I still can’t figure it out. Something has changed the way things work with this and I’m not liking it…but yawn…I’m tired so yeah whatever..

1:40 AM – 2:40 AM
Ay… I’m a bit sleepy. I don’t feel like doing much more although I didn’t do much again. I’m on frame 58 out of “you don’t even wanna know how many right now.” I think I’ll have a little test render to see how things look so far. Um…the test seems to show that its obvious I don’t have her neck set up right and the animation of the arms so far seems too smooth instead of natural…but whatever. I’m not in a fixing mood with this part so…so be it.

Ok. I looked ahead. The first of what I shall call for now, “goal frame,” is at 161. Let’s see can we make it in the less than 1 hour…maybe less than 30 minutes that I have. …Nope…barely made it to #65…ah well. I could go til 1:00 AM but I have a feeling…I’d better go ahead and go now.
10:05 PM – 10:57 PM
Ok time to get going. I’m going to see if I can have my Metroid on while doing this so maybe I can see what’s up with some of my “friends.”
Aw nuts…seems like a Japanese person has shown up and I wanna learn stuff (maybe) from them. So I’m putting this to an end for now.
11:52 PM – 12:42 AM (7/22/08)
Hey. I actually feel like I did something. May not seem much if you count it out but I feel like I’ve done something. Currently on #83. Stopping here for tonight.

zzz…frame 94…stopped…seems bad.

*sigh* Stupid Mr. Woodcock…I might’ve had a free night for this if not for that movie…but then again it was stupid but not too bad after the beginning so I guess it was worth it…tho I only ended up doing two frames today and really…I dunno about what’s going on. Erm. I’ve gotta get ready for bed but I’ll see if I can render a quick animation to see how things are going so far. Frame 96 stopped for now.
(12:23 AM note: Ok it looks sort of ok so far…makes me feel like crap though that since this is 25 frames per second, I don’t even have four seconds done. I don’t have time to make this into a gif and don’t have the patience to wait another day so I’m going to see if I can upload this when I get to my mom’s job a couple of hours from now)
