November Dormitory Diary Entry - Watanabe Sara
🕑 Added 2024-11-14 23:00:03 +0000 UTCHello, this is Watanabe. Here’s my dormitory diary entry for November.
November has arrived, but it feels warmer than usual for this time of year. The temperature is just right, though, so I wouldn’t mind if it stayed this way for a while!
As for work, starting this month, my main focus will shift to animation practice. Up until now, we animators had four days a month dedicated to practice, with the rest spent on regular work. But it looks like that’s going to be reversed. Not everyone gets extra practice time, though; it seems they chose people based on their past work and exercise results, prioritizing those who would benefit most. I’m glad to have been chosen, but there’s a lot of pressure to “move up" to key animation, and honestly, it’s making my stomach hurt!
Our supervisor handles the review process, and every time I get a check-back, I need at least 15 minutes to mentally prepare myself before I can look at it—sometimes, I even let it sit for a week. Not the best habit, I know. It’s my lack of skill that’s the problem… I’m truly grateful for the detailed feedback, so I want to do my best to live up to it. In the past, my regular work often ate up too much time to really focus on practice, but now that I have more time, I hope I can tackle them more thoroughly.
My goal is to make it to key animation by March, so I’ll do my best.
This month’s illustration is one I drew a while back during job hunting...quite some time ago!

11月の寮生日記を投稿します。
11月になりました。例年に比べて暖かい気がします。
過ごしやすい気温なので、ずっとこのままが良いです。
仕事なのですが、今月から課題をメインに動検作業をすることになりました。
今までは動画の人は月に4日課題の時間を与えられていて、他の時間は仕事をしていましたが、それが反転する感じになりそうです。課題時間が増えるのは全員ではなく、今までの課題や仕事のあがりを考慮して優先的に課題に取り組む人が選ばれたみたいです。それ自体は少し嬉しかったのですが、原画に上がってねという圧が凄くて胃が痛いです。
チェックは作監さんにしていただいているのですが、チェックバックを見るときは緊張して15分くらい心の準備をしないと見れません。なんなら１週間くらい放置してしまいます。良くないですね。自分が下手なのが悪い…。細かいところまで見ていただいてるのは本当にありがたいので、それに応えられるようにしたいです。今までは動検作業で時間を取れない時もあったのですが、これからは課題の時間が増えるのでじっくり取り組めるのかなと思います。
3月までに原画に上がれるように頑張ります。
今月のイラストは就活の時に描いたものです。大分前。

> every time I get a check-back, I need at least 15 minutes to mentally prepare myself before I can look at it—sometimes, I even let it sit for a week. I know that feeling well. Sometimes even when I'm asking for help with something from the internet I struggle to make myself read the replies, and that's from people that are trying to help me! Keep at it though. Anxiety like this is a mental defense mechanism but it's something you have to actively fight against if you want to overcome. Good luck!
