So just sent out the first batch of request notes regarding compression of the movie file and if it's possible. In the meantime, of course you go through the initial depression of having to go back over thing's you've done and of course the breaks are put on for a while. Basically I'm asking myself a couple of questions, what would I rather do, keep moving forward with developing and go back to the other gear later, or fix up what's wrong now, then keep going...


At the moment it will remain at a standstill for a couple of day's while I see about possible file decompression, and in the meantime, it's "right".....I need to watch that disc again a couple of times, and see what's working and what's not ...basically I'm aware of smooth transitions with some movement, and then there's some render background's that aren't the kind of clarity I want while other are.....and finally as always' lighting....fact is ...in this production...lighting play's about 80% importance in determining the view ability and clarity of the render animations, and I'm finding that darker lighting is actually giving me a better picture........so I have to go back and do that all again....most likely for a number of scenes....

So I'm having a kind of mini-depression.....because lets face it....I'm doing a lot of work, and not getting paid...you know if I had a grant, I think I'd have at least $50,000 to play around with....without having to do all the other gear in between, like apply for job's, go to court, defend myself against business groups trying to exploit me, save myself from slavery, you know all the stuff, that you just wouldn't have imagined humanly possible in terms of a lifetime... but you know...I think and of course it happen's everywhere, but the fact that Australia is a developing nation, I think there's a distinct possibility that it would happen more than in say a developed nation. I don't know if that's correct, but you know if you consider business cycles, most expansion is usually followed by some form of contraction which could mean job lay off's, less work hours etc, because an optimum is reached, it might not necessarily cause a depression/recession as such but perhaps an over supply to the marketplace which is reduce by growth in such other factors as increased population, which swallows the over supply or more spending by affluent shoppers which also decrease supply levels. But if you think about it from the developing nation side of things, you've got less people being either being forced to do more jobs, some taking on more jobs and just in general people working harder than physical, emotional and psychological recommended add the case of exploitative wages, then you've got some people getting very rich, and some people just not getting any where, which of course in itself is damaging...

All I'm saying is I'm pissed off I guess because I know what's wrong, but you can't fix it when the people who are suffering the most, aren't even being heard, and by that I mean, no one who's covered by Union' really is complaining, but it's this hidden job market that I'm talking about, the job market that everyone pretend's doesn't exist because no one want's to share the Government Tax pool with them, they're rather just take more wages for the unionists....so that is a depression....I'm so annoyed about it, but you know what, if I devoted my life to changing it, I'd still be the one that wasn't getting paid, and I'd be the one that's now not getting paid to do something that I don't want to do, rather than doing something I do want to do and still not getting paid....

So that defiantly is not a situation where everybody wins, and I know for a fact, people who are in win win situations come out on top...people who are in depressed situations due to insignificant funding...are people who should be making the most noise.....

this is a negative conversation for me though....so perhaps I'm just in a negative state of mind...and need to go to bed....and focus on looking at it again tomorrow through positive eyes....

I'm not going to re read this I'll do it tomorrow....good night I'm going to bed.

Also missing people....so in a bit of a shit.

I look kind of daggie, of course the light in the kitchen isn't too good for filming, and the one in my room's defiantly not any more, way too dark, and I still haven't found or even bothered to look to tell you the truth for a suitable light for indoor filming...not complaining...my hair looks crap as well because it's wet and has a shit load of conditioner in it...but hey....I' still alive and saying hi to people so come and join me...
