Things I Love Thursday
Totally stealing this from ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
katherynne. I've been having a tough few days, yesterday was especially brutal, but I want to have more positive thoughts today and just let go.
What Batman Taught Me About Being a Good Dad
This article brought a smile to my face when I read it this morning. I work in animation because I love entertaining stories and characters, I love the creativity that goes into creating a show, and I love doing the work for it. But I forget so many times about how animation can impact someone, in this case a father and his son, and bring them closer together.
Sherlock Holmes BBC Radio Plays
I've been slowly making my way through my library's collection of the Sherlock Holmes radio plays staring Clive Merrison and Michael Williams and I'm enjoying myself thoroughly. I love them! The two actors have become my definitive Holmes and Watson, the writing and acting is well done, and it's been getting me through long days of working on piles and piles of stuff. They've even made me laugh a few times! There was a moment in 'The Lion's Mane' where Watson was trying to solve a mystery that Holmes already solved and got exasperated when Holmes hadn't been giving him all the clues quick enough! Watson let out the most whiniest, most frustrated cry of "H~O~O~O~O~OLMES!" and I couldn't hold it in, I burst out laughing and rewound it several times to hear it again. I think this might need to become a ringtone!
My Storyboarding Class
I'm taking an intense storyboarding class taught by Jay Oliva and I love it. I'm really happy to be in a classroom setting again, I love learning and being inspired by other people, and I LOVE that my teacher has worked on all the geeky DC shows that I love, he uses his own boards in his lectures so I watch and learn about scenes on shows that I've obsessed over. If I didn't quite understand a point in his lecture, at least I can recognize the scene he's showing us, check my DVDs and watch that part over and over again until I get it! I'm excited about doing the homework for his class too, it's a lot of work but I feel really good about doing it, I know I'm getting a lot out of it.
My Personal Project
I've been writing and drawing a 10 page comic to submit to a contest for the past few months. I'm feel like I'm in a pretty good place, I finished cleaning up all the pages yesterday and I'm ready to move on to color. Even if I don't win the contest, I'm feeling good about the work I've done for the comic and how I've pushed myself. It's not the most creative, experimental thing I've ever done, but it's a fun, witty little comic and I'm enjoying myself.
And Project Runway is on tonight! Oh Project Runway.

But that storyboarding class sounds like a lot of fun!

The storyboard class is REALLY informative! First few classes covers basics like film language, camera moves, etc, but then it gears a lot more towards action animation :D
no subject
Niftyyyy! I could probably use stuff like that...

It's over at the Concept Design Academy. Expensive (oh boy is it expensive), but I'm finding it really beneficial since I've only had one other storyboarding class. :D
no subject
Urf, probably can't afford expensive right now, but at least you're finding it beneficial. :O

I have said this before but now you understand. :) Those radio plays are what got me first into Holmes properly. Mr Cumberbatch is the perfect Sherlock but Mr Merrison is still the only Holmes for me.
And Michael Williams' Watson is completely adorable. Have you listened to 'Charles Augustus Milverton' yet?

That one's the one where Watson gets really excited and makes the black silk masks, right?? I looooove Michael Williams too, I just want to hug him all the time! <3<3<3,3
