Why I Love Being an Art (or Graphic Design) Major

Hi y'all! It's me again, and I've decided that majoring in an artistic field was probably the best decision I have ever made...in my life! Now, I'm not exactly a fantastic artist or anything, I have my days when I draw decently and then other days when my stuff comes out looking like I was on acid or something. Anyway, that didn't stop me from majoring in Graphic Design...it's not exactly what I want to be in (I actually would prefer computer graphics, buuuut my college doesn't offer it, but I might decide to major in it somewhere else once I finish my Graphic Design stuff...we'll see), but it's still artistic, which is a plus for me! Anyway, while working on that major, I have decided to get my certificate in animation, that's right, animation!
First off, I'd like to brag up my animation teacher. He's also my adviser and might I say, he is one of the most interesting people I've ever met, but not in a bad way! He's one of those teachers, that on the first day of class, said to us "We're going to do some really boring stuff, so if you get bored, I fully promote that you doodle in your notes. It won't make me angry. Actually, I'd almost prefer to see you guys doodling in there!" AAAAAND for next Christmas break (2012) he's going to be taking art students to London for a motion graphics convention thing (I'm totally planning on going! London, here I come!)
Well, for our first animation assignment, we were told to create a story, only using still images. What I mean is, we had to make a two minute video, telling a story, but it had to be all done in still photos. So what did yours truely decide to make a two minute story about? Pirates vs Ninjas, baby! That's right, cuz I'm a BAMF like that lol  Luckily for me, I have a handful of friends who love me dearly and were more than willing to dress up as Ninjas, Pirates, and little old ladies for me!
Ugh, well I WAS going to make this post incredibly long and I was going to grace you with many beautiful pictures of the process of my video being made....but the more I'm writing right now, the less motivated I feel to keep going...so here's the final product for my class. Be warned, none of the audio belongs to me! I snagged it offa youtube, which is why some of it really sucks....just thought I'd let y'all know XD
