This Week

This week was short, especially for me. We watched those presentations. By far the Lauren Faust one was the best. What will we do without BrownMan... :( Link of interest->https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5rRZdiu1UE&list=PLxoUahStZsJEMHbyYNwLo7nw3z5aifb-e&index=1

\\\Emotional Census\\\

This video pretty much took a bunch of people and hooked them up to MRIs and they showed them some videos and they saw how their brains reacted to each of them - whether it be exciting or boring.  They all thought the dog was pretty boring while the cowboy movie was fun. Then it sums it all up by saying that directors will try to make more exciting movies for our brains.

What I think about this is that you pretty much can't really change what entertains people. So like if you had people being bored while watching a dog run around, there's nothing you can really change about peoples' brains to make that dog entertaining.

\\\ WHY YOU SHOULDN'T BE AN ANIMATOR \\\

In this article, this guy is telling why you don't want to be an animator.  He says it's really boring and tedious.  He says you got to be really patient because it's boring.  Then he goes on to say it's not ALWAYS gonna work out.

My opinion about this is that you he's right and you don't want to be stuck doing something.  And if you're going to do something, make sure it entertains you.  This guy seems nice.
