Jamie Gone Dun a Weblog

Why, when my internet speed has doubled, has YouTube suddenly got slower? Like annoying slow, not just inconvenient slow. Whats the problem here? If I were in traffic, I’d be honking like a tosser. Only I wouldn’t, cos I’m not like that.

Also, why are there fuck all jobs on the UK Craigslist? Does no-one need anything done? Where is the problem here? The problem is, I’d like some work. Now, please.

Thank you for your time.

I’ve been meaning to update the Jim Fear site for months now, but as I don’t seem to be finding the time to do it, I put all our recorded tunes on Virb, cos Virb is cool, and I thought people might wanna hear it.

If anyone has any recordings of t’ Fear, photos, flyers, whatever, lemme know cos I’d be interested to see them (and maybe get copies).

I had no idea this phenomenon even existed, let alone it being staged down the road (3 and a half years ago).

Last one!

My First Lip Sync. We were given a dope sheet with a phrase mapped out for us to draw our keys with our own character design. We didn’t get to hear the sound until we’d line tested the drawings! Mine is a little bit off in places, as I haven’t adjusted it to the sound clip since watching it back.

There is also a bit too much eyebrow going on, cos you basically do a drawing for each vowel and consonant shape, then repeat the same drawings when the sound happens again. This meant when sounds happened closer together, the additional ‘acting’ gets a bit intense! It’s all learning tho, innit.

Since finishing the course, I’ve done no animation what so ever, which is rubbish. I’ve had loads of ideas, just not sat down and done it! I gotta sort that out and do something, else I’ll never get any better…

Just realised I hadn’t finished posting all these, so I’ll get on with it…

Starting to do a bit of acting with characters. Brief (as far I can remember, it was a couple of weeks ago and I was tired from working on a computer animated project all week!) was to have a character lose (drop) something and then have to bend down to get it back. That could be just my interpretation however, cos thats what I seem to have done…

Bit more facial acting this time. You have to imagine the guy is whistling away to himself, then there is a massive crash stage left…
