the now

Today I questioned why it is that I do what I do, learned how to conjugation construction in Japanese, and studied more Zen Buddhism. Really good stuff. I now know why most other western ways of thought have been so hard for me to relate too. My thesis project is giving me some ire. Since my ideas have to shift from my plan b to plan a, and my plan a to plan b. I have had to re-access what it is that I am looking forward to in the piece. I have my ideas on how I wish it to flow. As long as I enjoy doing what I do, and I am passionate about it, I will keep on making my small time indie films.

Senior thesis

So Frank and I completed our thesis treatment last night. Woot woot! I got a new book about Film Noir that I get to start reading on top of the 6 other novels that I have to read. yay!

Tours

So this has been a very productive and interesting visit to Cali. I went and toured U.S.C. and A.F.I. They are both amazing schools that make me think and work harder on what I am doing. It's nice to see what is being done on the graduate level for what I want to do and to figure out what it is that I need to do to get to that point in my own work. Plus I now have the option of going back to Denver if things don't pan out with college and falling in with all of my old friends and pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps and all of us venturing into making an independent company developed by us for all in the realm of total artistic film, animation, and music. Great times. It is great to find myself back in the places that I know and have been away from for so long and reattach myself to myself. Hello me meet the real me. lol. Already got ideas to work on while working on my senior thesis. I don't think that I am going to get any real rest this semester. But now that I have a gauge for my portfolio, I can work towards it all and be a stronger and more firm of a Director. Till next time. Keep dreaming and keep working towards realizing those dreams.

Darktown

So I got my version of the first two scenes written out this morning. Not bad if I do say so myself. Tomorrow afternoon I am going to meet with Frank so that we can compare versions as well as cut and paste what we think will work or not work. Good progress though. Now that that is established we will need to figure out what our goal is for the first episode beyond setting the stage for the series. hmmm...so many decisions.

Darktown

Frank and I met today to work on our thesis. Things are looking up and up. I like it. Character bio's are to be posted soon for others to look at and enjoy the descriptions. Been a while since I have posted on here. Between my mother dieing, getting an internship, and then working on thesis, and then one of my grandfathers dieing, it has been a hectic summer. Go figure hmm? No time for rest or grief yet. Maybe some day I can. But for now I have to focus on work to keep me going. So, here's to those that follow this blog, and I hope that you are enjoying your summer wonderful readers. Remember, the more you work towards your dreams, they can come true.

Long time

I know its been a while since I have been on here. I know I am horrible. Besides that though, things have been really busy and good. Did some work earlier this semester that I am proud of. Wrapping it up now working on getting all my ADR in its right place. My last project ot go to festival did not get picked up. Sad face, but I am moving on and so I am uploading it now to Youtube for all to see. I think that I am going to check out Vimeo as well. I understand that they offer free accounts and what have you. We shall see how that works out. Finished my next short film script. So I get to start story boarding that this weekend and start animating it over the weekend as well. Should have the storyboards up here some time next week for anyone to drop in and see. In fact though, I don't think that anyone follows this blog yet. Oh well, I like talking to myself, so that is ok. If you do read this blog, don;t be scared to drop a comment or give feedback on works.
