The opening for Proximity was about
what I expected. I don’t think there was too much trouble. Installing the work
was confusing at first, and I did have some trouble formatting DVDs for the
screens I was given, but I was happy with the result. If I could change
something about it I would’ve put the demo reel I just made into the show. I
also wish I had some good quality concept sketches to put in the show, but that
would pushing the boundaries of how much space I was given, which I was already
doing. I would feel a lot more comfortable about installing another show in the
future.
My
senior thesis project is technically completed, but in my eyes it’s the bare
minimum of completion. A lot was cut out of my project to make sure that it was
ready to be on display at my senior show. Right now, it’s satisfactory to me,
but I will come to be more proud of it once it goes through a lot more
tweaking. It’s very unpolished compared to the work I usually produce; it doesn’t
even have sound yet. I will resume this project, but I do think I pushed myself
past my limits while working on it and I need to take some time away from it so
I can be more enthusiastic about coming back to working on it later. There are
other things I have to work on in the meantime. I do promote myself already by
posting my videos on websites YouTube and Vimeo, but I need to go even further
and find even more video sites to post my work on. I have already made a demo
reel, as suggested during my review before the show, and I am currently working
on making a business card for myself, although I won’t have it printed until I
can find myself a permanent address. I also need to make a website for myself,
which I’m looking forward to doing. I also have been brainstorming ideas for
animations I can make after graduation, so I keep myself busy. I don’t really
have a deadline for any of these tasks, but I work fast and it’s safe to say
most of it can be accomplished in the remaining month before graduation.
