animating

Lighting was quite fun today, since everything was setup, all i need to do is do little adjustment, also Sal lend me her light dimmer (whatever it's called, basically u plug your lights to the box and you can control the brightness of each light with a switch), quite usefull. Also bought extra little 12 v light bulbs for my kitchen cabinet (again, thx to David for setting it up for me)...now i have light strip above my stove ^_^

Setting up camera tho, was so troublesome, have to keep changing the tripod everytime i need to do a close up and handling the tripod's legs admist all the messy sensitive cables lying about on the floor is not fun, (and i was lucky enough that Simon lend me his really nice tripod...much easier to use than the school's one) not to mention the camera is always in the way between my character and me, considering that i am a clumsy, accident prone person, this is a very big deal, i have to do a lot of re-shoot because my hand touch the camera, and it shifted by a 1/4 of a mili, and so is the entire background, and it's very obvious on the screen. After animating the entire day, felt like i've just gone hiking, my legs are sore...i just realize that when ure animating you have to do a lot of squating while trying to be still and steady. Over all, today was FUN when you finally see the result on the computer, even if it's only 5 or 10 seconds, still "it moves, it moves!!!"
