Midterm project revision.
The animation is much improved in the revision and the cuts are more sensible. My opening shot tracking the walking feet is a little "stompy." It looks like my character is stomping rather than walking. My shot of the character walking into the bathroom, towards the camera is much improved. I seem to be losing a lot of my animation in the rendering process which probably means I need to extend an animation longer than what it seems in AE.
Travel Fellowship.
I really wanted to see the Madame Toussades (spelling?) Wax Museum when I was in Amsterdam. I guess that is high on my priority with a traveling fellowship. Top of the list would be the Rijksmuseum where much of Rembrandt's paintings are on display as well as those of the other Dutch Masters. The Allard Piersons museum house a great collection of antiquities, including dynastic Egyptian artifacts. It would also be interesting to visit the Pianola Museum wich houses original piano rolls from Rachmaninoff, Debussy, and Strauss. There is more to Amsterdam than legal marijuana and prostitution but half the fun is the clash of cultures, where fine arts museums are just across the street from open air porno markets and hashish bars.
