visible is better than done

as the hours add up, each adjustment further complicates the process. what would have been good enough ten hours ago is now not interesting anymore. this is a path that gets wider as you walk down it.

Focus on the story

New direction here... shifting my focus on telling a story in a shot instead of just trying to make something that looks cool.

One day I will get the hang of this

There has been a long withstanding battle between my desire to animate things in 3d, and my ability to complete a project. I used to think I couldn't finish projects because I was too lazy or unorginized, but the last decade has demonstrated that I can finish projects and also do difficult things. Videos have become my content but I yearn to use the motion capture data I collected at the University of Lethbridge and I miss the flow state of animating anything. Yet, I open up Blender now and can tinker for hours without making tangible progress. I look at the posts before this one, things I wrote five years ago, back before I thought I could do anything valueable. Now, I know that I can hypothetically do anything, but I don't know what to do. Tutorials, more tutorials, learn and progress and learn more. There is an enormous barrier between me and something. It is not creativity. Creativity is a process and oh. I have to start with a story. If I know what the story I want to tell is, the rest will follow.
