Final Animation

I put the video up on facebook and he said "don't tag me in this shit" so he untagged the animation of him. I was going to post the pictures up on facebook as well in a album... He will not change his habit, seeing the animation, the picture, and or the mini movie. He doesn't care one way or another unless I cared. Which its hard to say because I knew what I was getting into when I moved in anyway. Is there a line that it becomes way too much to handle? Is there really a solution to this procrastinate or carelessness? Is it the nagging the only way that will make him help a little bit more. "Do you think I am going to change how I feel because of the pile of shit every where? No absolutely not"

I did finish my book with the pictures inside of it. Now i am having trouble with loading FCP on my external drive I will have to finish the mini movie tomorrow on my sisters computer. Then i will be done with my project!! YAY!!

Drugged

I had to get a graft done on my mouth, and I have been drugged up for a day and a half. I haven't done much because i can't drive any where. I get queasy, can't eat only soft foods, and just feel like crap. Any who, i will bring in what i can tomorrow. I need to continue finishing the last bit of the flash, i can't finish the mini movie, because the procrastination is procrastinating, and its not getting done. I don't know what i am saying, but the fact that my plan isn't going very well as planned. The Thoughtless Acts project, i haven't been able to find any... i feel like i need to go out in search for things that pop out, other wise i don't realize a lot around me.

I have been documenting the mess around the apt. Some of the pictures correspond with the flash animation. Lately there hasn't been as much mess because he has been good about picking up his shit. Even though I said something about it, it still sits where it has been for a couple more days after. I am almost done with my animation. One thing i don't know how to finish it... should it just accumulate shit all over the floor plan and then end in a black frame. Should it have some kind of music in the back ground or is it fine without? Any ideas???

Book Binding

I made two books one for the Thoughtless Acts and the other is for the pictures I have been taking for my project, of the accumulated mess around the apartment. I will use double sided tape to insert the pictures in the book. I used the sewing method to bind each signature together. I used elmers to secure the binding put it under a heavy book. It was fun and easy!!

partial animation

i'm still documenting other things that have happened but its hard when i'm not around. Here is part of it i will have more when more days pass. When i play in the blog its not as smooth as it is when i play it on my desk top. Pardon the choppiness of it.

Toubleshooting goals

Last night I couldn't load my adobe programs on my computer since my hard drive crashed with them on it. I'm at my sister's using the program on her computer to start my flash animation of the week I have so far.

I finished both of my book bindings for the "thoughtless acts" project. which i am having trouble finding picture for. I need to continue looking for pictures for that.

I will continue webcaming scott and see if there is any mess. He has been real good and picking his shit up so i don't know how that is going to effect my project.

Predicament

I am having trouble making a video of the observing the problem. The bf has figured out what i am doing. I could hide the webcam in anyway so he wouldn't see it. Since he knows I think he is trying a little harder to put shit away. Shirts and glasses are left for a day and then put in the sink or the clothes hamper (which isn't what usually happens). I am going to continue trying to video what i can. Should i make him then pick up one or two items the next week? Or should i continue with watching his habit of procrastination?

I am still going to follow up on the flash animation. I am going to make a floor plan and then have items floating around the room, where they are put and then maybe disappears if they are gone from that spot. I have been taking pictures of the actual accumulated mess around the apartment. I could possibly put the pictures in a book that i made and bounded myself. I would have three pieces of my project to show in different forms.

"Observing the Problem"

WEB CAM

I'm going to observe the problem, which is spying on my boyfriend and the habits he has.

I'll be talking pictures ever 5-10 minutes

I could record it live

I also was thinking i could hand draw, tracking where he goes.

Then make an Flash animation

Keeping the floor plan as the first layer.

Video - For a few days i will record the accumulated mess with out telling him about the camera.

- Then video for a week of boyfriend picking up 2 things to make less of a mess.

Me Myself and I

This is my mind map, I had to screen capture it because xmind wouldn't work and i had to try a different site which then I couldn't export unless I bought the program. Here it is I was going to try to photoshop the smaller pieces that is zoomed in more a little later.

Spying

I have decided i am going to borrow John Parks web cam and set it up in the living room or somewhere that gets a lot of attention.

I am going to "observe the problem" by taking pics ever 5 to 10 minutes OR record live if we are in the apt together. Hide the cam so that my boyfriend doesn't know about it. I should record him for a few days and let the mess accumulate.

Then for a week tell him to pick up a couple things a day and put them away changing his habits a bit.

I would like to draw a floor plan and maybe make a small animation with flash of him walking around in the time being i don't have the web cam. I will track him and then if he drops something or leaves something anywhere i would draw it or record it in writing and animate it later.

DIY Frame

I used gouache for the first layer of paint
I cut out text and pictures

glued the text and pictures on


Then used mod podge for the clear coat layer


Printed my picture and its done! YAY!

Procrastination

My problem is procrastination.

I made a list of the things i procrastinate on. Laundry, hw, watering my plants, i do the dishes normally... exercise, grocery shopping, reading...etc

In the group discussion today i was brought up an idea to document in some way the procrastination of the person i am living with. Which are completely effecting me and my lifestyle. Now i don't do the dishes after i use them. In what way, or how can i use video to create a way to document the solution, or a way of life. I would like it to be funny, and not so serious.

Maybe go about why it is you procrastinate, or what makes you do it?

"if it wasn't for the last minute, i would never get anything done"
