OK, I must admit I was a bit confused when I got DD this morning. Not happy, not jumping 10 feet high, not convulsing on the floor, just confused. I just didn't expect it. I always thought DD's are something that happens to OTHER people. I still feel like not having realized that I got a DD. Maybe I realize it sometime during the rest of the day... but, yeah, thanks to everyone, especially to whoever suggested me for DD and for all your nice comments.
Last December I lost all of my personal documents in a strange accident which involved me, my friend Nancy, an old bridge, a river and a bag with damaged zipper. Since the bureaucracy in Bosnia is one of those things Dante used as a source of inspiration when he wrote "Dante's Hell", I needed more than two months, 200 Euro and over 30 different papers to get my ID, my driving license and my car papers renewed. And after I did all of this, I went to the bank in order to renew my debit card, which was also lost with the other documents, but I couldn't renew it without the ID. And then I discovered that for renewing the debit card, according to laws of Raffeisen bank, I have to go and fill 30 different papers in order to publicly announce my debit card to be lost, to publish an announcement in local newspaper that I have lost my debit card with this and that serial number, to write a report for police department and for the bank and after all of that they'll need two months to give me another debit card, of course after I pay 60 Euro for expenses. WTF? (Raffeisen is actually a German bank which opened a ton of offices in Bosnia but they like to treat they customers as beings of lower status, with an air of superiority and aloofness. Let's see them doing this in Germany with German citizens... no they would never do that, but if they work with Bosnians, that's no problem, let's treat them like stupid animals, those Bosnians, they don't deserve anything better).
And to cut the long story short... now I have neither credit card nor debit card nor nothing and I can neither buy books from Amazon nor pay for renewal of my Deviant Art account. So that will have to wait for now.
Meanwhile I managed to finish all of my courses in postgraduate studies of Digital Movie Production. Last Monday I submitted all of my work (that short movie "Drugs kill Dreams" for which I got a DD is a part of it) and got two weeks off, in order to relax a little bit, have a vacation (which I won't have because I'm broke) and get enough sleep. So I'm kinda free now until 20th of April, and from that day on, I'll have to work on my project in order to complete my studies. And that project is a short 3D animated movie, 5-10 min. I'll have to do everything myself, starting from concept art, synopsis, script, recording book, audio, soundtrack, 3D modeling, to animation, production, post-production, effects and all the things I forgot to mention. I'll have 20 weeks in order to complete this assignment and to finally get my Masters degree in Digital Media, which will probably take place sometime around August. So there's a lot of work expecting me in the next period, and until then I'll do some more HDR photos, which I've finally got a hang of.
So, I want to thank everyone once again for Daily Deviation and for supporting me all those years.
There will be more movies soon, I just have to get some things straightened in my life, but there are already three more scripts I want to turn into short movies.
Until then, bye and good luck
