So, winter break was a bust, as it seemed to be for everyone. My goal might've been realistic had I really taken the time to think about the fact that my family would be here for three weeks... and take into account their personalities. That said, I won't make excuses. My lack of foresight both for scheduling and for the amount of time that character & asset creation would take is totally my fault and I take full responsibility for not getting that done (as I should).
That said, I have a better plan for getting things done this semester. Among taking a body of classes that will allow me a great deal of time to dedicate to Senior Studio, I've made a calendar that (as long as I've calculated it correctly and stick to the hours in it), will make it so that I get done with enough time to spare. I've divided my animation times into daily 2 hour blocks w/ 4 hour weekend blocks. This also means that if something comes up, I'll know how to make up the time. And keeping a routine like this should make it so that I get used to animating and don't have as many motivation problems. That said I revised some things with my elevator pitch, and I think it's finally something I'm okay with:
This story is a comedic approach to a woman who saves herself when she's loured into a dangerous alleyway by a purse thief, and a superhero who comes to save her is more interested in hearing himself talk than helping with the situation at hand. In the end, we learn that getting her purse back is her first priority, because it holds the key to her bigger secret. Truly no book can ever be judged by its cover.
