BravoTEK films presents...

Good god, I've been crazy with my money these few weeks,

Spent a large portion of my student loan on a rather good camcorder,
a 3CCD Panasonic MiniDV.
ph3@r my filming skills.


Along with a the bit of spare time I have, I also made a triple layer jelly.... which I buggered up..... bugger.. damn condensed milk. and damn my jelly mixing skills. too much water. The milk penetrated the jelly :(


I've found this hilarious picture on 4chan
Couldn't stop laughing my ass off.


Anyway, I'll leave it on that humourous note.

Till some other time...

2 weeks gone, 2 assignments done... 1 remaining week to do the other 3?...

Bugger.

Well, Got my marketing mix report done.
Explaining how l33t my takeaway can be compared to some fictional chinese takeaway chain which has opened up nearby.
It's mostly explained in around 2.5k words. Could've padded an extra 1k of words, but really couldn't be arsed. The lecturer wants 2.5k, she gets 2.5.

Next up, Light Fantastic, the assignment where I have to make a light show using 3D Studio Max.
I needed to use a minimum of 44 lights; adjusting each one individually was a pain in the arse.
If you wanna see the finished product, looky here! (You need xvid)
Light Fantastic (4287kb)
That took about a week to do, but that was because most of the time was spent learning how to use 3D Max in the first place. I reckon i could've done that in a day if i knew back then what i know now.

the 3 other courseworks, hmm, lets see...

....umm

Authoring 2 - Author a personal digital CV, and make a fully functional MP3 player (with skin).

Student Centred Project - Make interactive 'video-based' game.

Visual Programming - Make a simple game using VB6.

ooh, thats about it! I originally thought i had 4. ah well, bonus!

Work aside, how have i been? I guess i've been alright.

These easter holidays have been spent mostly working on assignments, working in the takeaway, playing the odd game on the recently aquired 42" Plasma TV :D, watching the odd film with mum whilst dad is out pubbing, having pub lunches with parents in nearby towns, acting as the family chauffer.

Not much else really i want to talk about at this point in time.

Until next time...
