Christmas update

Well it wasn't quite what I expected, pre-Christmas started using Toonboom for 'drip splat boing' which to all intents and purposes I was hoping to take into Aftereffects.Receeding walk cycles causing me a bit of difficulty - but will get there.
Went to Cambridge to see my sister for 4 days leaving my partner here to dog sit! Bit weird and didnt like it. Christmas eve -toothache. Dropped a card round to my newphew who normallly resides in Belgium saw my other nephew that I haven't seen for 18 years(family fall out, which i hope is on the mend)phenominal tooth-ache! 2 packets of pain killers later and an x-ray(emergency dentist) and not much eating or drinking later and yes- no drinking for the New Year either due to 2 lots of antibiotics and a swollen jaw. Dentist tomorrow to arrange extraction/s.
Back to the animation.
I have to say that my biggest fear is making work that I am not proud of, which leads me to cogitate instead of trying things and experimenting, I also worry that the work I hand in will be sub-standard to the rest of the group's as I know there are some very talented people in it.
My feelings on this is the work is more important than the mark!
I have no idea wether I will get them finished in time.

Handdrawn for dripsplatboing part1, toonboom and after effects for part2.
Taxonomies mixed media film and animation. Also feel alot of pressure with audio, writing poetry aswell.
Also keep thinking what was said in the masterclass about showreels and showing animation of the type that you want to get a job in- this has made me decide on using Aftereffects but has made my job longer.
Can see the big picture that these animations hopefully will go on our showreels so the pressure is twofold. Want to make them varied and push myself but have no idea how long it will take me.

Apart from that I hope you all had a good one!!!!!
