Started in January and completed on November 3rd, the anniversary of my first viewing of Nosferatu. I was imagining this music video last December when I decided that I would go ahead and draw every shot and let everyone know about the absurdities running through my head. There are 135 drawings. I bring to you, finally, TEARIN' UP MY HEART.
I had fun but also suffered over that project. So many eraser marks, and the occasional cramped wrist. I listened to the song over and over and did the dances in person and still failed to indicate those motions through still pictures. It has been almost an entire year since I began fantasizing about what it would look like. In fact, I still remember pacing around back at Mom's, with Christmas lights in the living room, but throwing my shadow on the wall and doing the gestures that would be the intermission between chorus 1 and verse 2.
It seemed like a huge, and meticulous, joke to actually make that idea, whether in person or as a storyboard, but when I came back for school in January, I had a new apartment, a good feeling about everything, and I wanted to embark on new journeys, plus I was so addicted to drawing Count Orlok, however poorly I did it at the time, that it seemed like it would be easy. I was pulling off 15-20 frames in a sitting for the first couple weeks, but it seriously started to lag as the semester went on. Spring got even busier with my first seminar and successfully completing Script Frenzy, my other Nosferatu project. Then Summer passed with no work at all. But Halloween was just the kick required. The rest is history. Or should I say, the RUST. *attempts to laugh as easily and as cutely as Hare, but fails*
Now, I don't know what to do with myself. I've decided to save CP4 until Winter Break, in part because I feel I can drastically improve my plans once I've sucked in all the knowledge from my Hitchcock class. Now it's just finding out what to do in November. It's either NIL + illustrations, HT + illustrations, or AIW fanfiction illustrations.
Or, fuck, I almost want to write another fanfic. I-I-I... I can't, though. It's not right.
1.
2. Make posters for all of my AIW fanfictions.
3. Design an AIW fanfiction ebook, with an illustrated cover.
4. Write HT
5. Make more HT illustrations.
6. Write NIL
7.
8. Plan CP4.
*squints at list* November 4th is not the time to be undecided, seriously.
