AUGH AUUUUGH AAUGH AUGH. by Cowboypunk
So I've been working on a Defans Amis short animation over the past month and a half or so. A pretty notable feat considering it was 7-8 weeks to go from start to finish on a 17 minute long animation. I haven't been sleeping much. I started working on it because I had been sitting on some plans to do some looping gifs of Alette and Beau related things, and a composer I know asked for something to compose and play live to for a project at his college.
I learned today that evidently his lecturer decided - with just two weeks before the performance and almost a full 2 months after the start of the project - that the composer should do some other kind of performance, which happened to include some stills, but NO animation I had been working on. -n- Neither of us are happy.
The animation will still be completed soon and will still get it's music, but holy shit I would probably drop out of that class or just accept the shitty grades if that was how my professor approached the work I did. He was also unclear about the deadlines and performance dates as well so??? Augh. On the upside I can chill some take more time with everything and time things more like I'd prefer.
But seriously. AUGH. AUUGH.
AUGH AUUUUGH AAUGH AUGH.

Oooh gosh, so many compliments! thank you, you always cheer up my day iui <3
Yeah, I mean, it's really frustrating because of the time constraints I needed to work in and because the live performance was something I was pretty excited about, but this also gives me more time and more freedom with the pacing since it doesn't need to fit into a 15-30 minute range. Granted it also means that since I'll be cutting it down from 17 minutes, so there's a lot of work I did that wont be shown and was more or less a waste of time. WE'LL SEE WHAT ALL HAPPENS THOUGH once I get to editing the timing.

Aww man, bro that sucks balls, and not in a good way! Geesh! Talk about frustration!
The professors are sometimes so lost in their world they forget to think about the best of the student, really. Reason why I got back to this school I am now is because the teachers listen to you and make the dates as clear as they can. Bummer dude. BUT I CAN NOT WAIT to see it! <3<3 I've loved your comic and now to see some actual animation with sounds oh boy oh boy oh boy!-
Yeah, man, it's bullshit, I just hope the demand to change everything doesn't fuck with Kent's comfort and understanding of his own creative interests and goals.
:D <3 <3
ALSOOOO, I ended up talking with Kent last night about potentially making a longer live show made up of a short series of animations related to Defans Amis, time and death. It will probably take quite a while to produce everything, but we have a handful of story and animation concepts in mind already~ :3-
That sounds abdolutely brilliant!

Well now, that's just so many figurative punches to the gut and face! Talk about taking the wind out of a project. This professor needs to get his act together. Maybe some good will come out of it? Whatever the case, I wanted to say I've read of all of Pauvre Defans Amis and I love your story and art on it so far! Let alone when I got to the animated parts I just ate it up! But I admit one of my favorite scenes was the still of Beau finally catching up to the deer in the woods. Surreal, vibrant, and symbolic. Keep up the awesome work!
