All day schoolgrind today, just finishing up now and im been at it since 8:30am. Been like this for a sec now and its getting pretty easy and routine, which is awesome. Maximizing the days, great cause other classmates are starting to do the same so I aint in it alone. Nice...You know what they say, two heads are better then one. Which makes for better energy...creative energy to emulate and project. You get what you put in!! HA! :)

Tried to upload this 'New' animatic I did for a retake on a fable/story of choice for my Storyboarding class, had trouble doing it on my blog so I added a link to my online portfolio to share the vid. I ended up doing 'The Sword of Damocles' for mine, if you don't know the story heres a brief description of the story provided by Wiktionary...

"Damocles was an obsequious courtier in the court of Dionysius II of Syracuse, a fourth century BC tyrant of Syracuse. Damocles exclaimed that, as a great man of power and authority, Dionysius was truly fortunate. Dionysius offered to switch places with him for a day, so he could taste first hand that fortune. In the evening a banquet was held where Damocles very much enjoyed being waited upon like a king. Only at the end of the meal did he look up and notice a sharpened sword hanging directly above his head by a single horse-hair. Immediately, he lost all taste for the amenities and asked leave of the tyrant, saying he no longer wanted to be so fortunate. Dionysius had successfully conveyed a sense of the constant fear in which the great man lives."

I decided to use Lucifer and God in the storyboards, telling the story of Lucifer coming face to face with God to plead her case to regain her power back through her time spent in hell/her service to him. God agrees but under one condition that a sword hangs over her head...I figure with great power comes with huge responsibilities. FYI: The name Lucifer derives from the latin words 'Lux Ferre' meaning light bringer, also known as Morningstar aka Venus (The Goddess of Love).
