Tired & Stress

Today I worked until 11pm. I wasn't suppose to, but I just wanted to finish as much as I could. Man, even camera animation also kills me sometimes. To gain perfect camera movement animations and match with the music tempo is not totally as easy as I always thought. Ease-in/out, fast and slow motion matching with character emotion & movement + music tempo... killing time and also killing me. I changed the camera motions thousands times to get it right. So much offset to be done in Graph Editor to make things look right. Now I respect those who did so much camera animations....

Well, it's pain, but eventually I gained. As in able to finish with satisfaction. hahaa.. So tired now, but once I got home, switch on my PC, I tend to not want to go to bed early. I think I'm just crazy. I should be in bed by now. *Yawwnnn.....~ (-_-)q

Oh oh, by the way, today I asked my boss again. Seems like Bandai is working on the Votoms game and we are helping them to develop the opening sequence. Looks like it has nothing to do with the TV anime series. Sorry for the wrong assumption last time. haha.. I guess I need to brush up my Japanese more to avoid more assumptions and misunderstanding... hahaa..

To be precise, our company is doing 2 versions of the game opening for Bandai right now. The one that I'm working on now is for promotional purpose, as in to show in Tokyo Game Show next month. Whereas the other one which eventually will be used for the real game opening in the console, is already almost done, and now is under compositing development by my boss.
Why they need 2 versions? Well, as for this question, I have yet asked my boss. hahaa.. My best guess is that, my boss proposed a new storyboard to them comparing to the original one from years ago. And Bandai accepted the proposal and agreed to have 2 different versions. Hahaa... Well, don't take my words, I will check with my boss again when I have time. Most importantly, my animation will be shown in public. haha.. Well, I may be paranoid, but hopefully Bandai won't reject the new proposal (the one I'm working on) and take the old one for promotional display in TGS at last minute. If not my sleepless effort will worth for nothing in the end.. well, who knows, something might go wrong in the end... but I will pray harder. hahaa. =P



Anyway, here's an article link regarding Bandai's coming PS2 Votoms' in-game:

Tomorrow Bandai people will come to our office in the morning and check our progress. Hopefully everything will go well.

Ok guys, I'm really collapsing soon. Really start to feel the tiredness already.
"Finger-Off" now. Ja-na! Nitez! Wan-An! (-_-) ~zzZZ
