I am just now writing about my day yesterday because it was so full and exhausting. I have been really busy at work, but also having things to do right after. So I have to work harder faster, which I actually prefer. I don't like when I am sitting around waiting for feedback from clients and scraping to find work to do. I mostly end up helping other people with their projects while I wait for mine to come back.
Right now, I am working on a bunch of short animations that are about this gel-like goo that is injected into an artery to stop the blood flow, so that the surgeons can repair whatever needs to be re[aired without constant blood flow and loss. It feels really good to be creating play through animations again. The difference between the play throughs and our interactive modules, is there is so much more effects and cool things you can work with when it comes to play through. You can experiment and figure out what you think looks best compared to being restricted to the gaming engine we use to build our interactive modules. You can kind of compare it to painting verse coloring with crayons, not that our interactive modules seem less mature than our play throughs. They actually are really cool and are based off our main product. You just can't do so much blending and effects you would with a crayon as you would with a paint brush.
So after work, Katelynn and I went to midweek early, and I had some time to kill while Katelynn was in her teen d-group. So I decided to grab a bite to eat at the same Subway I worked at all through college. Woah! Talk about flash backs. I walked in and there was a girl there who looked to be as young as I was working her tail off to get the food ready in the back while racing to ring people up as they were ready. I just pictured myself taking the same steps she did and remembered I had the same look on my face as she did, "I have so much homework to do but I'm not looking forward to leaving here smelling like lettuce and mayonaise." *I know, gross* But she did a great job and was really nice. So I sat down to eat my sandwich, and just looked out the window as the people passed by, and I wondered how many people I would recognize from my time there a few years ago. You know, the regulars who would come in everyday, or the school of toddlers filed in a straight line holding onto a rope. It was kind of surreal, I felt like this should be a dejavu moment, yet so many things were new and just a few were the same. The world is moving on, developing and maturing, and frankly, so am I.
