Ninja of Motion

I would like to shout out the two people who have commented on my actual blog. Props to you, Beth and Tillie. However, I'm a bit upset that both of your comments revolved around a certain houseguest we have. Ummm, hey. I'm here too!

MOVING ON.

Today in class my professor called me a Motion ninja (Motion's a program to create motion graphics. To be honest, I don't really know what it is)! I'm going to take that as a compliment even though all I was doing was following the book at my own rate instead of waiting for him to explain everything five times over. I take it as a sign that I clearly enjoy what I'm doing because otherwise I wouldn't even want to work ahead.

I don't even know why, but I have such a passion for editing. I think I like being precise and creative. And editing is pretty much a 50/50 split down the middle. You need to have precision to make each edit hit the exact right frame. And you need creativity to know what frame you want. You have so many options to choose from, but having an image of what you want the scene to play like really helps make every decision.

Guys, I wish I had more people in my life who cared about stuff like Motion and filters and transitions. But, alas... I'm a lone wolf. Theoretically I'm in a class of people who DO care about those things, but the reality is pretty different. I'm not so sure the professor even cares. But at least he called me a Motion ninja. I'll always cherish that moment.

WELL. Now I have the WHOLE DAY---- to apparently read Hayley G. Hoover's articles for The Gloss and peruse through Facebook profile's of former high school classmates! SOLID USE OF MY TIME, I'd say.

Well, our house guest has woken up and I fear it's time to end this shared moment we had. Today's book will be Wicked by Kristen Chenoweth (with Joni Rodgers).
