Week Three 22nd Circuit Juvenile Office (City of St. Louis) (part two)

I have continued to observe different cases in court. I got to watch Robyn appear in court for CP case as well. For a couple of hours on Thursday I got to sit with a Juvenile Office Attorney on the delinquent side and watch police officers body cam footage. She explained to me the case and what she was looking for and I found the whole process very fascinating. She also talked to me about her time as a private attorney and I got to learn more about the pros and cons of being a private attorney. One of the cons being health insurance. For Friday they bought me lunch and took pictures with me! I had a great eye opening experience at the Juvenile Office and learned so much. For the next two weeks I will be at Restore St. Louis!

Week 4 Part 1

Monday I shadowed my dad around his office the entire day and ate lunch with him and his business partner again. My dad and his partner had a long meeting where they discussed a new referral program to generate new business. I feel like I’m learning a lot about business by shadowing my dad. On Tuesday me and my dad went in to Sullivan to meet with the accountant that takes care of the finances on our farm. Then we went up to St. Louis to visit Nathan in the hospital. It was very nice to talk to him for a couple hours and to see that he’s doing well. Afterwards, we had a meeting with my uncle and grandpa to talk about future real estate investments. Also, this morning we learned news that Nathan is getting out of the hospital on Thursday. Our family is really excited about this.

Lil Wayne

Today Lil Wayne is playing at The Factory. This is the biggest show I have witnessed working here. This is a sold-out show. None of the other shows I have worked on have sold out. Lil Wayne has requested quite a lot for his dressing room even though he is only going to be here for 100 minutes, 90 of which he is going to be on stage for! His crew and The Factory crew have been here since 9 am. The opener goes on at 7:45 pm and Lil Wayne goes on at 9:15 pm. That is 10 hours of setup. It is CRAZY!! But as for what I have done today, I have mostly just helped set up catering. Food is out the whole day today. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So we’re pretty much always working on the food. But tonight I get to help sell merchandise! This is a first for me so I am super excited!

The crew putting together Lil Wayne’s stage set! Not even halfway done.

Week 4 -Nexul Academy

This week I am beginning my journey with coding for the next 3 weeks and so far it looks like a lot to memorize. When I have been looking at it and breaking it down though it is beginning to become a little bit easier to understand and recollect certain things. Sadly those things are what I have already learned from Dr. Urbano so I still have a lot of work to do. There are 4 courses I am planning on taking over these 3 weeks to see if I can get a grasp on any of it. These courses are Git, HTML and CSS, JavaScript, and C#. I am learning these courses in the way I ordered them because each course enables you to take a step further into different types of coding. Each course is basically a step towards the beginning of real coding. This is just a test to see if I can handle it and continue down this path. I wasn’t as excited thinking about it at first but now actually looking and seeing this stuff is getting me a little more into it. Hopefully I can find passion in doing this in some way for the sake of what I want to do in the future. Also if you are interested in coding the courses I am taking to start with are free so feel welcome to exploring this for yourself.

The library in the church

The library is small but there are a little places that have pillows but it was really old house and inside smells like old house and its really cold the woman who take care of the library she said that this library is existing for 20 years and some of the books are really old and kids have to be careful to not tore them. For 20 minutes she read one of the books for them and then kids are looking for books that they like to read.

This weak I’m shadowing a teachers at my church called Covenant Presbyterian Church. This kids are angels they are learning so fest and if you are goin to point to one of the laters on the alphabet and asked that letter is that they within one second going to tell you that it was a Z or D or K. Same with numbers they know what number is goin after what they can tell people that 23 is goin after 22 and 18 is going after 17. They also know how to spell their own names and can write them without any help.

Painting with Donahue company

People who I worked with said that that this paint smell bad but because I was spraying painting in makerspece I didn’t thought it was that bad.

Donahue company

Last wee i shadowed a painter’s and one of them is really good with working with old doors i was impressed how much this doors changed after he furnished working with them

Its the new guys! (For the movie project)

This is Robin and Alex!

As about to be demonstrated by one of the antagonists, these two are not as powerful (or quite as durable) as Riptide and Reyna (at least in the same ways.)
This is a quick concept animation I made in the past to show their first meeting. Alex (the fnaf reject) is imbeded with a gem of some similar nature to Riptide’s and Reyna’s. That could be the cause of his’s “sudden” sentience. Robin (as in “Robin Hood”) is hiding from someone. Also she is a snake person which is kinda cool as well. I wonder who she could be hiding from?
These two are trouble, but they are not bad guys. There is an exception in that perception and that is when Mara (the one on the left) is hunting down the two main protagonists. It is very lucky for Alex and Robin that their crystal has really good regeneration powers, because Mara is taking Robin in dead or alive. Speaking of crystals, it seems Mara and the fellow on the right share the same one. I wonder what that is all about? (by the way, the one on the right is named Lauren.)
If you were to (hypotheticly) peel off all of the external animatronic bits on Alex, eventually she would look like this! (After some healing and reconstruction. Well, maybe not totaly, as this is old concept art. This art even predates that animation seen above.)
I am still working on a full body refrence for Robin, but I do have a head refrence for her! She is rather skilled in combat, specialising in hit and run tactics. (Still debating with myself how much I want to lean into actuall Robin Hood mythos for this character.)

Ok, so Some concept art for my story, which is now a movie. (by the way my project is now an animated short)

This post will be focusing on the old protagonists.

Here are the Protagonists of The Storm. This peice is a touch bit outdated, but still reletively represents the idea of the designs. Riptide is the blue one who does the water and electrisity and the speedy buisness. Reyna is the one who’s hair is also fire and has a bit more of a bird-adjacent apperance.
Here is a concept peice of something that actually is supposed to happen in the film! Its the dramatic and reluctant fight between Riptide and Ray! Ray will be one of the antagonists of the film, serving as a sort of narritive foil to Riptide. The fight is more twords the end and could serve as the climax. However, this movie is no longer focused on Reyna and Riptide (primarily at least). That will be explained in the next post.
