• what is your priority list as of today, with two weeks before deadline?


to do the rest of coloring and make title and ending. I don't really need sound effects so now I am not worrying about it. And after make my film a clip, I need to make background and add some effects in After Effects.

 • which "babies are you prepared to kill," if necessary, in order to finish your film on time (May 7th) and fit it within the 90 second - 2-minute time constraint  - think of in-betweening, simplified color, and eliminating shots not integral to the story

What kind of a sound environment do you plan for your film?
Realistic? More music-based? What will the role of sound be in your film?

 For my piece, I don't have to use realistic sound environment; 
I could use more music-based, or maybe only background music is enough... 
 The role of sound in my film is very important as there are no dialog, and have to choose the right pieces to match the emotion of my film.

Journal #8

• What is your biggest time management challenge, and what is your plan for dealing with it from here through the end of the semester?

the biggest time management of me is my laziness obviously. if i'm asked for some specific ones, those would be the commuting between school and home; business about family troubles (as my parents could not speak any English, i have to help them in everything); classes and other assignments.

my plan is always no plan. but i will do my best to reach the weekly goal. as heavy as people have procrastination, i have to fight against it everyday.  


 • Which of your classmates’ films do you particularly like? Why? What is the strongest element of their piece? Where would you make suggestions?

i would like to see Erica's, i think there will be many people like her piece. Her interesting story, smooth movements of characters, cute designs, emotional dub, fantastic background drawings, just could not make my eyes leave the screen. for suggestions, i am so bad in suggesting people, and as i could not do a film like her level, i could not give any nice suggestion.
