Mog and Chips

I just spent about half an hour going “I’m going to KILL those bloody idiots! 1.3 megapixels my bloody ass!”

…and then I learnt how to make it focus properly I’m not much of a photographer so it didn’t occur to meto twist the lens thingy for that long.

We actually did a proper lesson today. A proper one! Like, 6 hours long! (Now half the class is moaning about having a long lesson =P) And we actually did… workshoppy things! Like it wasn’t “here’s your project, get on with it”, it was walking us through things.

And this is where the webcam comes in: expressions and lip sync.

And in taking images of expressions (which no-one will ever see hopefully because making random faces makes me feel like a bit of a prat) I have suddenly discovered that I have eyes like Tom Cruise. Not once, but twice. Once in a ’scared’ pose, and the other in… I think I was trying to look thoughtful but didn’t, so it got deleted.

I did however get paired with the stalk monster. Which I’m trying to tolerate, I really am, but she keeps separating me from the other to talk to her and only her and suddenly there’s a circle of most of the class talking to each other and then there’s us. Excluded. And that wouldn’t be that bad if it was something more interesting than a certain card game anime with a scary boy with purple eyes and big hair.

But anyway, after my little tantrum a while ago things are looking better, but the class is still going to petition. Last year complained big time about one of our tutors… and if we do the same this year, hopefully they’ll actually take note.
