The rumors are true. The culminating project at our school does destroy you, body and mind.

I started in January, and finished as of 11:59 AM yesterday morning. And it was due at 12:00 PM. I placed it at the teacher's desk like one minute before it was due. :XD: I am so sick of seeing that animation lab, I've been in there for sooooo long all week. Everyone was exhausted yesterday from the stress and staying up till unholy hours, whilst in the lab waiting for the final viewing for class we were like dead. :dead: The dry erase board in the lab is constantly littered with drawings of people needing to blow of steam or going a little mad at 11:00 at night. My teacher was like "Wow, for once it actually looks like a regular animation lab." :XD:

But still, it is amazing to see something you've been working on for so long come to fruition, I had to come up with the idea like a couple years ago (or was it last year? I dunno. See, my brain is burnt. :XD:)

Actually I probably had a little bit more stress than the others at the last second, cause my premiere (editing program) wasn't rendering, it would give me an error message. I had finished editing yesterday and I was like "Yay, I'm gonna be done early!" Uh-huh. And THEN we had a power outage, naturally. I was trying to fix the problem when I saw the lights flicker and heard a BOOM! of a transformer exploding. We had tornadoes near where I live a few days ago and I heard that the grid is strained and getting fixed. (More on that later.)

Anyway I got up early the next morning, got to school. First I had to reload all the animation to the program, which took a good thirty minutes. Grr. Then I tried to render it on the school's computers but the same error happened. At the same time. Some friends tried to figure out what was going on and help me but eventually I knew I had to call in the calvary. Me and my friend raced up stairs to track my main animation teacher down and searched the offices. Then he looked out the window and exclaimed, "There she is!" We raced down the stairs and he was like, "We'll cut her off at the pass!" Lol! :XD: We caught her just as she came in the hallway and she helped me figure out what was wrong. Turns out that some of the jpg renders from Maya were corrupted, even though they looked perfectly fine when you view them and even in the program they had something or the other missing in the file and Premiere goes, "Poison!" and dies. :XD: So after finding those frames, taking them out, it's like 11:40, I render the animation without titles or anything, there's a couple tiny holes from the frames I took out, and burn it to the dvd, (this is 11:55 by now) and raced upstairs to give the culminating teacher the dvd. Then I spent the next couple of hours fixing the animation, adding titles and cleaning it up a little better, and turned those in.

Phew.

I'm working on getting it uploaded here, so plz bear with me, my internet connection sucks and it's a big file. :XD:

So we got to see it on the big screen last night in the screening room so that was cool. It was fun seeing everyone's animations. I really couldn't enjoy mine as much as I wanted cause I've seen it a billion times and I just wanted to kick those fat cats across the room. :XD: Also :iconchaeosfox: 's team's was absolutely hilarious!

I still can't believe I'm done with this . /scarred for life

Okay, so now about them tornadoes! Some F4s touched down really, really near where I live and I was at school at the time and I saw it on tv while passing by the candy machine and I was like, "Ohhh...I better call home." Everyone was okay but my dad actually saw the tornado coming home from work. After it had finished devastating Suffolk it jumped the interstate and landed across it. My dad was like, "That's a funnel cloud!" And then my mom and brother had just come from the base and had JUST missed the tornado hitting it by minutes. The tornado really devastated this cute small town and some neighborhoods. You never see that around here. But the crazy this is, that no one died. After seeing the destruction, you just can't believe that no one died! And we don't even have a warning system here. Just if you happen to have the radio or tv going, or look out the window and actually see it, that's your warning. The atmosphere was eerie, me and my friend :iconartisticenigma: were saying that it looked really ominous outside, like something bad was gonna happen, and we were joking about tornadoes and stuff, cause it looked scary. I really do like following storms and stormchasing and stuff and I'm kinda disappointed I didn't see anything but it was really scary and I'm kinda glad I didn't. :XD:

This is the second time this year a tornado nearly hit my house, and I live in Virginia. What's up with that? :XD:
