Never will.

And this is to remind myself that the world is beautiful,
and one day,
I'll travel through all these places that are exotic and filled with culture,
meet the faces of people.
Might not be all sunshine and rainbows.
But never forget that the worst are usually the best of the trip.
If you get what i mean

Ok another entry from 11secondclub,

Trying real hard not to cook up an excuse but
really, could it be the inconsistency?

comments on my shot by Edin_Durmisevic
Your shot is looking pretty good. I like some poses and gesture choices like the gesture at frame 125 - 158 that is great. You have nice cutting and I see that you don't have the problem with 180 degree rule that I noticed lot of people had in last month competition.
Things that I would think about to improve in future work are
- energy of the character. First part of the dialogue is very energetic. Character is mad and bothered by something she regularly and repeatedly does and in your shot character is saying it little bit like its something he notes on other character and not something that bothers him.
- exaggeration, just go for it try not to push it to far but its better to have it more then to have it less. Exaggerate reaction, poses, timing, rhythm ( slow calm action vs fast and frenetic reactions). Only thing that sometimes is not good to exaggerate is acting cos it becomes unnatural that is something that should be as subtle as it can.
- staging, at the opening shot you have much unused space to the right part of the screen that is good if something will happen in that part but in your shot nothing happens we cut to the other shot. This is something that is important in film language. choices that you make for staging should help the action and focus attention toward the main action in the shot. And when you stage character avoid symmetry. At the beginning of the shot your character is to vertical and flat. Find poses that illustrates better how the character feel even when they don't speak or act.
- I see that your acting is pretty good you have some nice things in here. To make your shot better even great do one thing: analyze what do your characters do when they are not saying anything or when they are silence.
They do little or nothing they just react by rocking every time when character who speaks hits the beat. You had it going good at the beginning with pink character but brown character is flat when he does not speak.
- practice body mechanics and in this part I think that you have great potential just practice as much as you can like jumps, turns, walks, and things like that, study movement as much as you can
OK this is to much of text and it does not mean that you are that much bad I just tried to explain as best as I could, things that I think about when animate. These are not rules this is something that I have learned in AM program and by reading about animation. This is my approach and I hope its helpful to you
Keep the good work and don't let some stars putt you down
good dynamic, still a bit rough

Nice job. I feel like he could have acted his part with a little more emotion. He doesn't seem as annoyed as he could. She lays into him pretty nicely though, which again makes me want more from him. I kinda wish she'd have been doing something more annoying to set him off.

i would add more overlap and follow through when she hits the table says "look" and maybe add a moving hold so guy dont seem dead in some places
but i like it overall and "its stupid" really looks realistic

Acting and timing are good. Animation needs to be polished.

Decent animation but best lipsyncing i have seen yet this month

really like the poses of the female even though everyone in the forums said that her gesturing the number one was cliche, but who cares. More attention could have been given to the male. I also like the staging a lot.

the gilr animation is great, shame about the guy, surely he would move his body more when hes shouting at her? so more expression the guy character would be nice
Thanks for the critique guys.

Overview of Lessons Learned from a Year Off Traveling

Overview of Lessons Learned from a Year Off Traveling
We live on a planet with an abundance of wealth.
Most of it seems to be in the Western “developed’ countries right now. However, I’ve found that living in a “developed’ country doesn’t guarantee one’s happiness or a good life. In fact, I think people with less often worry less and have happier lives. It’s up to you, rich or poor, to make the best of your life.
People are the same everywhere
A taxi driver in Cairo will try to rip you off the same way a taxi driver in Paris will. At the same time, a stranger in Jordan will invite you in for tea and a stranger in Australia will offer you a ride when you’re lost. There are good people are there are bad people in every country.
The planet is bigger than you might think.
When people say it’s a small world, they obviously haven’t walked around it. However, after the trip, I do feel less like a Canadian and more like an Earthling. The Earth is one community. Borders are imaginary. But sadly, I think it would take a massive threat, like an alien attack, to bring us all together.
If you’re bored, you’re boring and it’s your fault.
Getting there is half the fun. Face it kids, life is alot of “getting there’. Might as well enjoy it. You make your own fun. You’re in charge.
A large percentage of the planet doesn’t have enough to eat.
This could explain why they’re thin and dying of hunger. Most of us, on the other hand, are getting fat and lazy. We need to learn how to share more.
You could have died 100 deaths by now but you haven’t.
Be thankful for the opportunity that your life provides you and use it! Don’t let fear hold you back from realizing your dreams. You will die. All things pass.
Most young children and animals possess the ability to love openly and unconditionally.
So what happened to us? We were all young once too. They provide us with a wonderful example of how to open up and love. The more love you give, the more love you get.
Your life won’t always work out the way you thought it would.
This doesn’t mean you shouldn’t make plans or follow your dreams. Just realize that there are often many ways to achieve the same goal. Relax, be flexible, and roll with it. It will work out. It always does.
People are more important than places or things.
You could be in a beautiful tropical paradise surrounded by assholes and have the worst time of your life. Or, you could be in the middle of the desert with nothing but a few great people and have the best time of your life. Choose your friends and companions wisely.
If you think you won’t find a parking spot, you probably won’t.
The power of positive thinking has been scientifically acknowledged. Professional athletes use it, why don’t you? All actions begin as thoughts, let’s think positively about our lives, each other, and the future. What you believe is what you get.
