VACATION? ยท MAY 2022
No work was completed during this year so far. I feel like everytime I get around to looking at this project, so many months or even years have gone by, that I spend time just updating the logs with...nothing! Despite my desire to finish this project, whenever I get some freetime, it's very difficult to sit down and work on it. It's not like the animation is that difficult, but it is very hard to start. I'm not really sure why, I guess I just don't have the drive I once did, combined with getting distracted with games or just wanting to not be working since my normal day job is doing this type of work. It makes me sad because I feel very lazy for not finishing at least the animation at this point.

I've been on vacation for a little over a week now, and have been trying not to beat myself up for not working on this, but it still feels bad. I even setup a NAS so I can access this project from almost any computer anywhere in the world as long as I map the drives accurately and can access Maya. Got everything set up and working, but I just don't have the energy or something to put some time in. I've always been that way though. I have a hard time starting a new shot, project, etc. Once I get going, I'm pretty good, but that starting part always holds me back. The problem with a short film is that each shot feels like its own little project and I have 30 shots to animate, plus a bunch of other work I've outlined on the homepage and archive pages to remind me. Unfortunately, progress has stalled again. But hey, at least I wrote this blog post!
