So I finally graduated yesterday. Four years of my life kind of just flew by and I'm really happy to have attended where I did. Gonna' miss all my friends but hey Skype was invented for a reason  xP
And a week prior I had my senior show. I concentrated in video art but I'm not really big into video art and more into things that seem closer to short films/short stories, things that have a narrative.
My overall theme was video game inspiration (and a bit of appropriation). I used instrumental tracks from four games as the basis for the stories, creating narratives that generally had nothing to do with the games they were from but included gaming elements (some more obvious than others) into the videos.
I pretty much want to just edit videos for the most part so I tried to really dig in this past semester and learn the basics of After Effects since that's the only program that wasn't all that intuitive for me (FCP and Premiere are pretty similar *cough*exceptPremiereissomuchbetteromg*cough*
I had 4 videos and need to work on getting the last two up on youtube. For now though have a look at my two shortest vids:

One of my projects over the summer will be to compose original sound/music tracks to these videos so I'll have two variants of each video (I also need to practice using a few sound programs and mixing and all that jazz).


So my next step in life is going to be getting a part-time job and then work towards an internship somewhere. Hopefully I can get a job at like the fabric store or somewhere that's not a department or toy store (as much as I love working at those places I'm not sure I'd be able to deal with those environments for long periods of time, and I'd like to work somewhere where I actually know about what I'm selling).

I am also going to start sewing again. My next cosplay to work on will be a Moltres gijinka of my own design and I'm going to fix up my Beatrice dress and Sn0wman coat, too. Otherwise, I really want to start making more plushies and getting good at making them. So far all I've made is a saurpod for a friend and it could've been so much better if I had more time but that's what the summer's for. Practicing my skill set and getting better. On the same note, I am also going to be drawing a lot more. There's plenty of things I need practice with and I want to continue getting better.

Last note:

AVENGERS
OMG
BEST
THING
EVER
