The Rocco Effect - Morning Routines

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to think, to enjoy, to love – Marcus Aurelius 


The sooner you're up, the sooner you can start your day.  Getting up is only half the battle.  Starting the day happy and motivated is the other half.  An easy way to build up your happiness and motivation is by accomplishing small wins (moving your body, getting out of bed, getting sunlight etc). Feel free to add anything else that helps get your day off to the best start possible.  Accumulate small wins and use the momentum to push you into completing the bigger tasks on your To Do list.  

Don't challenge yourself this early on.  If it can't be easily done, avoid it until later.  We don't want anything to stop us from starting the day in the best condition. By waking up happy and motivated we can do what needs done early and enjoy the rest of the day without worries.  Having a great day starts with having the right mindset.

Bonus - Everything is on loan

Everything is on loan.   Our possessions, our friends, family, even our own lives.  If we're lucky the loan is repaid after we die, but we've all had loans retuned before we where ready or worse, before we were aware it was a loan. Whenever you are in a state of truly loving life remind yourself 'This is all on loan.'  Be grateful and take in all you can, cause one day, memories is all you'll have left.

My Animation Process (Honours - Game Scene)

I just want to show you how much effort i actually put into an animation. And who knows maybe you just might learn something from it all. 1st of the line test.  This helps me picture whats going to happen and lets me test out wether the animations work or not.  Also alot easier to make changes at this stage as its so basic. I then move on to a fleshed out version.  Basically the final version without the details.  This allows me to see how the final version will look and allows me to make any changes before the final version, were it will be much harder to change as there is a-lot more detail in it. I then add some basic colours to show me how it looks coloured.  This allows me to see what changes need to be made to the outlines. And finally the final version.  Cleaned up lines and the final colours.  I wish i had more time to spend on the lines and th...
