My Mickey Mouse Degree

Had a meeting with my Project Supervisor today, and he revealed to me that my idea was in fact almost identical to something that was submitted last year. I have never seen, nor heard of this thing from last year, yet I have officially ripped it off almost to the letter.

Clearly my idea can’t be any good if someone’s already done it, that much is obvious.

So now I’m working with something else, which is a bit more ‘researchy’ but still allows me to produce some animation at the end. Trouble is, I haven’t done research on anything in a looooong time, and even though it’s about animation, it still manages to seem overwhelmingly daunting to me. Perhaps I’m just easily daunted.

I got that list I was on about sorted, and have made SOME progress with my work as a result, which is a relief. I figured I’d be stuck jumping from one thing to another and getting nowhere for the rest of term, which would have blown monstrously.

Drawing is still going badly, but luckily that doesn’t matter so much at the moment, everything’s all ideas right now, though I am managing to produce some decent life drawing stuff on the Friday session I go to.

That’s all there is today.
