Drivers?

I'm wondering who I can go to about installing a driver for my tablet onto the computers, there are wacom tablet drivers on the computer but they aren't the correct ones, so I'm not able to use the full capabilities of either one of my tablets. I just tried to install one but I need an administrative user's password and login info. Things just keep halting my progress...

One good thing

Well I found another helper, for my film, he has taken pity on my plight and decided to help me with my film he's a 3d major, and he's really good, so I'm going to have him help me do some more back ground animation.

More troubles

Got my computer and "back up" from geek squad yesterday... the folders were completely empty so they did it wrong, I wasn't able to check until today (my hard drives only work on mac formats.) I only have pc's at home save for my broken laptop. Everything just seems to be going wrong, its like I make one step forward and then I get pushed back 4 more steps.

Update...

Monday as I was about to back up the new scenes I was working on, my computer decided to quit working in it's entirety. I thought I'd lost the files but I took it into geek squad and hopefully they will be able to retrieve the files for me. Unfortunately my computer's motherboard my have been fried and that might be really expensive to repair (my computer is out of warranty) Life sucks right now... I'm hoping that I didn't loose what I had been working on Monday morning.

Ugh client work

Sunday (yesterday) I had to work, now usually after work I go home and work on animation for this project. But unfortunately I was asked to film  a actor's reel and I ended up having to stay at work from 11am-1-am that's 14 hours and about 7 hours of work was lost. So I'm going to try to get as much work done today as I can. After going over my schedule I really realized how pressed for time I am, and I don't think I'm putting in enough time during the weekends. What I'm going to do is make sure I'm done with all my homework from other classes BEFORE Friday so I can spend all of Friday and Saturday working on this. (I usually work on other homework before hand). I'm also debating on whether this job is conducive to my film. Is it really worth losing all those hours for a check I won't see till almost two months later?

Animation Making headway


So I have About 11 shots roughed out right now. They just need minor tweaking (things such as uploading assets and making sure timing is right.) I'm hoping that I can take the time this weekend to get them to a point where they are about 90% done. The scene above is one of the meteor shots that I'm working on cleaning up and getting roughed in right now. It stills needs a correct background. I'm also having issues uploading videos on both blogger and youtube. Hopefully that gets corrected in the near future :/
