Okay, so I have spent two weeks working on my midterm project. I have spend days adjusting and readjusting setting for the smoke plume, scrutinized camera angles, rendered animation frames throughout the over night hours, tweaked and re-tweaked the adjustment settings in After Effects to get the look just right, and finally rushed to complete the project at the last moment. Yet, now when I look at the piece, I feel disappointed. I looks as if I just shot footage of a smokestack with smoke billowing out of it. Which, of course, is what it is supposed to look like. It's not an over the top shot, it's very, very, very, very, very subtle. So subtle that you really can't tell I did anything – which is kind of disappointing. However, if that kind of subtly will get me a job somewhere, I'm willing to live with the disappointment.
