Shorts and Birthday thoughts (Ballistic Amount Of Rambling)

 Alright. I will now write about stuff. I am going to do it very stream of thought-y, like thoughts directly to keyboard. I may sound kinda dumb. Maybe you already knew I am kinda dumb. Unfortunate for me.

 

Making shorts is interesting for me. I don't hate it at all but I feel like every short I make is definitely not my best work in terms of animation. I'm uploading a video today and honestly I'm not super happy with the animation but I know it is simply not worth it to work on it more when it will probably fall flat on its face. I guess the next question is why am I making shorts? I feel like I kinda need to always do something online. And it's good practice, helps me train my critical eye, etc. Also it's fine enough for social media, honestly. I bet more people care about the overall style than the actual animation anyways.

So yes- the sphere is putting out a limited quantity of "not as good" works. Another example of this might be the video "Mona's Lisa", which nearly derailed VIDEOPALOOZA with a dumbass meta plot. But my answer to this is as such: If you plot all of my overall works on a graph with Quality on the Y axis and Time on the X axis you would find that it trends upwards. Ideally.

Thank you for reading 2 paragraphs of cope!

Anyways I am now 24. Which is disgusting. 

I feel like 23 is the age where I was like "Wait, the years keep coming???". Obviously I knew that before but feeling is different from knowing. And let me preface- 24 is still pretty young! But it's leaving that realm. So I think I can whine about it a little. So here's my thought: I need to do something. Like something big I guess. Or more realistically, search even harder for an animation job.

Okay. I think I will wrap up this blogpost here. I've been toying with adding like audio logs to this website but now I am thinking it might not be a good idea because I ramble bad enough in text. I believe my laziness may win out.

on an artist's statement

As far as I know, It's sometimes expected of artists to explain themselves using an artist statement. To write something that explains them, their process, their topics, their worldview etc. I always thought that was weird. "Here's me- in a paragraph!". As of tonight, however, I think I can understand the value of this. I've always wrestled with my own image. I feel like I'm not how I picture myself. I can't tell you what I imagine myself to be, but I can tell you that I have a hard time accepting the way I am. To sum it up, I feel like I can't believe my own actions. They feel contrived- my speech patterns, my thoughts, my actions.  But all of those things are me, as crazy as it seems. There is no "second level" me waiting to be surfaced, a total transformation of myself. Instead, I simply am the person other people see. When it comes to my art, I deal with a lot of out-there concepts. My comic, Pearman, is about normal characters in wacky a...

2025 and DAYLOG SONGS

Image
2025 is off to a bad start. I'm pretty wrecked by the world, which seems at odds with my understanding of "good". It's hard to be motivated to do anything. I have to do stuff anyways. Today, I released the DAYLOG SONGS 2024 album or EP or whatever. Each month I took a phrase from the previous, wrote a short song, and made a video. It started way quicker than it ended- Especially the songs, which were tweaked on and off for about a week sometimes. Here's assorted thoughts: Most of the songs are from negative thoughts! I used these songs to cope, I guess. The saddest song is "what's to say?" I think the dominant mood of the project is Wistful. The first four songs are kind of a lie- I wrote those and made videos for those all in the month of April, I think. I only realized this was a good idea around then. At least I started before halfway through the year! There was no overarching genre or style of music- I did what I felt like, similar to SPLIT WHOLE...
