Learning on my own...

Okay, so part of the LTT program (a big part) is reflection on our learning. Great. The program is also about self directed learning, and that means thinking about past learning... past self directed learning. So...

The last thing I taught myself to do was a demon face morph in After Effects. I came across a tutorial online that showed me what to do and I was quite successful. I’m going to be using it and various other effects I’ve been learning in a short movie. Hopefully its scary.

I think the coolest thing about learning this, and other things, on my own is that you really feel successful when finished. The sense of reward is greater, I think, when you succeed at something that you chose to pursue, took it upon yourself to struggle through, and finally mastered... or at least finished. This was a first draft... the second version was better, but I don't have it on my laptop... if you want to see it, let me know.
