What has been the most challenging aspect of getting work done in this project thus far ? How are you addressing this challenge ?
The most challenging part of this film has been learning as I go. Learning toonboom, learning layout, and learning sleeplessness has all been very difficult. I am a hard worker though and the fortitude I started with has not left me. I really enjoy this project. To deal with the whole learn as you go aspect of it all I have been relaying on some very good teachers and some very good friends who have experience and give awesome critics. I am blessed to have people who will take time out to give me a hand whenever I need it. I also read a lot and study to make a effort on answering my own questions. Layout has been a driving force on this piece the layout has to be prefect or I am animating blind. I plan to push out some good layout and then I can go forth with making my animation as dynamic as possible .

Bruxism
For our journal today we had to review a alumni's junior piece the one that stuck out to me most was Aleson Ho's piece it was very lovely and the animation was nice to watch. The piece center's around a girl doing a self portrait and then she gets attack by a giant eye. I liked the abstraction of living evil eye ball judging you and eating you. The piece was a nice story because in the end she escaped the eyeball and got to finish painting.

WEEK 3
How do you hope the audience to respond to my piece?
I honestly don't know how I want anyone to react I just hope they enjoy it. I have never shown or done anything like this before. I know there are some funny moments in this piece and I hope they laugh but other then that I just hope my audience finds it very pretty and interesting.
How do you want your audience to feel about your character? What kind of connection do you want them to feel to your characters?
I hope the audience can relate to her and enjoy her mishaps. I want Vanessa to remind people somebody you've known.
What sort of audience reaction would leave you disappointed ?
I would be disappointed if on the night of my screening the whole room boo's from the title shot to the credits and my mother public disowned me for making the worst film in the history of mankind. Honestly other then that I don't expect much of my audience I just want to do my best and leave the rest up to God.
What would be the best response?
The best response would be if I got a standing ovation so loud Walt Disney himself awoke from the grave and paid off my student loans. I would like it if my mother was proud of me and if people were impressed by the personality and thought put into my film.
What do I want your audience to understand?
I want them to know that childhood isn't as romantic as they remember it and people will always act like children it is the nature of us all.
What would I want the reviews to say?
I want the reviews to say "Tracey LaGuerre is a rising star. Joyride was a feast for the eyes and heart."

Week 2
It feels good to accomplish stuff. I am happy with what I been up to. I really enjoy animating this character I can't help but feel close to her, Vanessa's curiosity,audacity, and spirit really hit home for me. I was her and in many ways I still am. If I was left home as a kid I would do all kinds of silly outrageous adventures and very unsuccessfully clean it up before my mother came home. I based some of this character on my adorable little cousin Gigi who is probably the cutest little girl I have ever met. I went to visit family this summer and I got to see Gigi for the first time since she was a infant I was so nervous to meet her I thought "I hope she likes me". I already knew I would like her and when we spent the day together it was more fun then I could have imagined. My cousin Lovely, Gigi and I were all having a great time acting like 8 year olds and causing a ruckus unsupervised. It felt like I was home, It felt like I was a kid. Being away in college I have come to appreciate family time, no other moment could make me happier then laughter with family. This child like feeling feels exciting to look at because now that I am 20 because I know now their is no one to "catch me" making a mess. Whatever mess I make is a learning experience. Although it is confusing there is more beauty in the journey then I can ever currently appreciate I am sure when I am like 300 and a half years old I will look back and say "man college was crazy awesome" but right now from where I stand I am wing'n it.
