Just wanted to share some things with you. WARNING. EXTREMELY LONG PARAGRAPHS.
Remember how in one journal I said I just got two of Kanaha's Japan models, which were updated? And Kanaha's Fem!Japan? Well, I made the vid and well... I showed it to my relatives. I'll call them... Miss Silent, Miss Energetic and Mr GivesNothingButCriticism. Well, Mr GivesNothingButCriticism looked at it, and at one point when Japan winked, he was like "I am FINE with men in real life doing this, but this? AAARRRGGGHHH-"
I showed them how I animated from scratch and with motion data. I made America dance to Renai Circulation, and they burst out laughing. Since I downloaded Zeze's updated models(it's like every modeler is updating), it came with heaps of models. So I just went through them and found a name I could actually read- "rainy day.pmx." I opened it, and I was like "GASP. NO WAY." I got America in his Revolutionary War uniform! YES! So I made him dance to Nyan Cat XD.
I then tried the Twilight Isn't Literature meme, with England and America as themselves, IA as Austria, and LAT Miku as Germany. Everyone made me find a certain frame and press repeat. We watched England bang America's head into a wall screaming "Twilight isn't literature!" for a few minutes.
I then made some sample animation with Animasa Miku. The two girls were like "Woooooooow." Mr GivesNothingButCriticism said he wanted to try, so I let him. And he failed. I told him all these tricks like making models look better without edge lines, and IK bones, and pose data. I then said "Animasa models can be a bit plain, so try LAT. But the bones were clumped together, so turn on physics. And by physics, I mean wind and gravity and stuff." He then played with the LAT model, and with the IK bone, and did weird stuff with it. All the time, he was like "BODY BREAKING PHYSICS.

" Then I stepped him and said "Hey, this model belongs to LAT, so at least respect his work."
So yeah. Right now I'm overloading my Bakyumorion video with all my Japan models with effects. I can now say that Tonemap and Diffusion are my favourite effects. People say that Tonemap doesn't really do anything, and Diffusion only softens the scene. Well, Diffusion does soften the scene, like the shadows and edges to a nice degree. But it also makes the models brighter. Tonemap makes the models really bright. When you put them together, it's perfection. Though staring at Fem!Japan's uber bright pink kimono is starting to kill my eyes now. MME OVERKILL. LITERALLY.
I am now making a video for Father's Day, with Animasa Rin Kagamine dancing to Ur Style. Again, huge loads of effects here. It's sad that when my computer crashed last time, I lost my Mother's Day video. It was ImmaAweshumBanana's Taiwan dancing to Te Yu Te. The camera was by me. But hey, I mean, there was no overload of MME or any lighting so it should be easy to recreate. Actually, I'll recreate it, but put more effort into it. I realised this song Ur Style will make fitting theme music to the Nerd Herd if I ever animate it...
Oops, you guys don't know what that is, don't you? My class was hosting this week's school assembly. It's always been customary to come up with something to perform, as recognition of our talents I suppose. We did a play called the Nerd Herd. It was basically a small play with three acts, and centered with no character, but it was about nerds and cool kids. The nerd and cool kids sat apart. It was pretty fun, especially 'cause I got a speaking part. I played as Ashley and spoke in the second act. So I'll break down the play for you.
Act 1: Math- We were in math class. Our teacher made us complete an algebra syllabus for the highest grade, multiply 12 digit numbers, and write our timetables all the way to 50. We had one hour. The cool kids fell asleep, but one dude from the nerds complete all set tasks. He got punished for finishing early and had to make a graph of student absences since the start of the year, but that just made him happy.
Act 2: English- Oh looky here- Our teacher put some words on for us to copy. Wait- somebody has to spell them? *insert nerds dying to answer, but a cool kid, Jack, gets called out* Jack spells philosophy, and is actually a pretty good speller. Ashley? Maybe not. *insert me copying stuff down on my hand, getting called up, and looking at my hand when I have to spell synchronization.* And thus, the nerds are all like "teacher, she's cheating!" but he pays no attention.
Act 3: Physical Education- We're dancing! YAY! Are we having a dance battle? No? Ballroom dancing? Well, cool kids aren't happy but they're paying no attention, meanwhile the nerds freak over girl germs and boy germs. At the end, we have a dance battle. We're split up according to where we're sitting, which means nerd vs cool kids. We take turns dancing, and we start fighting over who's better, until a nerd yells "STOOOOOOOOP! This is getting out of control! Why can't we dance together and be friends?" So at the end, we shuffle off the stage carefully so not to break a leg, and the whole cast joins us. Well, except for the music players and signmakers and removalists.
NOTE: If you're not Australian, you may not get the next part.
Today is Saturday. Tomorrow I will be packing my bags for the Canberra Excursion. On Monday I will be up at 5 to get to school before 5:50. I will be going to Canberra, in the Australian War Memorial, and then other places. On Tuesday I will be celebrating my birthday and partying and heading to the snow. On Wednesday I'm checking out the Electoral Office and my favourite place in Canberra- QUESTACON! I've loved it since I was a kid. Also, on Wednesday I'll be back at 7:00, and I'll be to tired to do anything. Then I have to finish my homework, so I won't have time for deviantART, or any internet time at all. I'll be back on the 10th.
Also, remember how I tried to go for the school Talent Quest? I failed. Oh well, I'm sad, but at least I had fun animating the music video. Maybe I should cram all my videos together at the end of the year, and put it up on deviantART! That would be a nice last goodbye. Then in 2013, I'd start new. If anyone needs a reminder why- I want to start new, and my account is becoming less active because of things I need to do, and last of all- personal issues. It's better if you don't question me about them. I'll never reveal them anyway.
So yeah. That's all. HUGE JOURNAL ENTRY IS HUGE.(Also has anyone ever read the Hunger Games? //shot.)
