hooray i'm back on schedule and not posting these updates a few days late. yep august was chill. spent a good bit of the month outa town but i finally got back on track w a steady work ethic for projects and whatnot and finally finished that damn ass CD video i started months ago.
kicked off the month by finishing reading Feng Shui Handbook by Master Lam Kam Cheun. bought the book ages ago and started it a while ago but i read through it all and learned a lot about feng shui! it's something that had interested me for a while and was a hobby of mine for a little but reading the book gave me a great base understanding of the history and principles and whatnot. reorganized my room and it's made a world of difference in a lot of different regards. this feng shui shit is no joke
finished the animation for the CD vid and brought it to the finish line before my trip! didn't take too long to record the short irl bits, compile all the extra art and images and text, time and compile them all in the blender video editor... ok maybe it did take a bit of time LOL. i think optimizing my workspace and getting over the big hurdle i was taking a long time to cross gave me the momentum to finish it off pretty easily.
i've got some thoughts and insights on the video and how it came to be but maybe i'll record a commentary or something and put it up on patreon? idrk. overall i learned a lot and it spent a long time in the oven cause i didn't realize that i was setting myself up to animate myself talking for like 20 minutes straight. definitely informed how i'll approach that format of video in the future and i already got the next couple in the works but i'm finally onto my next projects that i'm excited about.
hopefully this month i'll find the time to update some dinky things about the site. i'd like to update the art to have dropdowns for the years all in one page and i'd like to update the blog page with iframes and the ability to skip to the next and prev blogpost maybe? job i talked about a blogpost or two ago ended up being a dud so i'm back to searching around for something while i do my personal stuff.
been exercising and going out a lot more! been lifting and running at home again and i've been bouldering with friends. and now that i've finished the Feng Shui book i've been reading my book on cinematography! hoping to learn some cool stuff and apply the principles to my work in some capacity. and also just generally gain a greater appreciation when i watch stuff. i'll catch u guys next month byee.
