The Rocco Effect - 5 Good Things

Cultivate the habit of being grateful for every good thing that comes to you, and to give thanks continuously. And because all things have contributed to your advancement, you should include all things in your gratitude. ― Ralph Waldo Emerson 

The Rocco Effect - Five Good Things

Video Reading 



How do you feel? I hope it's awesome, but I'm guessing that's not always the case. We're surrounded by greatness, if we know where to look, there is always a reason to feel awesome. If you woke up safe and warm in your bed, acknowledge and be grateful for that. Many aren't as fortunate and are waking up in the streets, but at least they awaken with another chance to improve their lives, many don't awaken to get that chance. Our lives now are infinitely better than those of our ancestors. Health care, plumbing, electricity, more than enough food/clean water and your freedom. Think of each think your grateful for as a gold coin, with each new addition you become a little bit wealthier in happiness and the great thing about this currency is it's laying all around us just waiting to be picked up. Once you start noticing the vast universe of things you should be grateful for you'll find a wealth of happiness.

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...
