Strange how small the world is.

Soooo, If you haven't seen my fb album I posted many pictures of the Animation Festival that was held in hangzhou. It was pretty sweet I guess? Lemme refresh your memory:

















My new Animation Professor looks like an asian Piotr hahahaha





Anyway, it was great times and so today, CAA held an opening for all the animation directors. I met a man named Ron Diamond and he is the guy who created awn.com and acme films. So he is a very important man in the states. 0.o I talked to him and he ended up knowing Tom Schroeder! It's funny how the world is so big...yet so small. Also wanted my contact information and gave me his business card.
Excellent.
And then I talked to this really cute Chinese French guy named Cedric Ih, he has a company called Red Cheese and it's in Hong Kong, but he does commercials and all that jazz. He was really nice, gave me a business card and said he wanted to see my film after it was finished here. So I can get it done and show it to him. Bahahaa.
Then I saw the people who made Spongebob, Kung Fu panda...other short film directors. It was crazy...Kind of like being in Hollywood but in China. Hahhaa.

Sadly i didn't get any pictures of the event, I had no time. Lol. My professor was like, "COME WITH ME." And dragged me to the 2nd floor and started talking to all these directors. I felt really under dressed cause everyone was wearing tux and like dresses..and crazy things. I don't even know. Perhaps I can get a few pictures from the school. :/ it was a sight to see.

Lol, but while i was talking to some people my mentor was like, "Pst, Ja Mei, come here." and so then we talked about how lame openings can be and he's like, "but FOOD ISN'T LAME! COME ON LET'S GO RAID THE FOOD TABLE." Lol. He's still a kid at heart. Lol.

Today was crazy and full of "important" people...Yeah, about time to start lookin at that career. . . . . .

YoCai Hua

I dunno what these flowers are called in English, but in Chinese they are called YoCai Hua. And they look like those yellow flowers I posted before.

But all the yellow flowers fall off and everything is bare and green


However, they have the prettiest surprise. <3
Their leaves turn multi colored and beautiful.







Also, I have the worse stomach flu ever, it started yesterday and I couldn't even move, I had a horrible fever and I felt like I was going to faint every ten seconds. I got on my bike and was going to die. I have horrible sharp pains in my stomach and feel like going to throw up.
Well I'm better now, but I still have horrible pains in my stomach. Sean says I have a virus caused by people not washing their hands and cooking followed by something about feces on the food.
Gross.
Which also means that I am 2 days behind animation. -_-'

GOD CHINA WASH YOUR DAMN HANDS.

I feel oh so loved. <3

I got your lil present today. <3
Thanks Allegra<3 Much loveee.

Snipt of some Animaton, yes? Okay.

Thought I might give everyone a little preview of my animationnn.
In terms of backgrounds. Not a lot, just a lil, lil bit.
Check dat:




This picture of his mother is unfortunately is not a huge part in my animation. It was going to be, and then my mentor said that it was too realistic. Lol. So I must change the picture again. Wamp. The picture of old shanghai is there for reference. <3 Though it would be nice to do some cut paper things in here. :/

But all I want to do is this:

Nothing.

Downtown once again

With Momo. <3
Good times. I didn't have my baby with me (my D80) because I let Alang borrow it. -_-' So I borrowed my friend's little digital camera. I was sad, but I still got some pretty sweet pictures. Check it:

I dunno if I posted this same picture before, but this bike stand was never there before. They just built it along with another bike stand towards the school. It's really crazy that I can see the development in China. Everything is fucking quick. It's like one day you sleep and the next day it's there. 0.0



I can't help but take pictures of the kids, they are too adorable and I loose my shit when I see them. Lol. SO CUTE.




























Well, we all crossed the street and ended up on the middle of the road. Hahahhaa. Cars in China are crazy. And so are pedestrians.




So these people are training to be waiters or like, clothing store sales people. It's really weird and military like. 0.0








We then went to the night market and shopped a little and then decided to go to a bar called the Traveler's bar.

AHAHHAHAHAHHA I had one person in mind, you know who you are. <333 (What a funny name for a bar.)





Then Momo taught me how to ride her moped. But really I just hopped on and sped off. Lol. it was sweet.




Good yesterday. <3
