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.

Props

So I started buying material today for props to build for the semesters works. good god damn am I glad that I started now. This shit is going to be pricey. thank christ for paper being cheap. Got my books in to study, and one for leisure. Started screening more films as well. watched some new shit (too crapy to mention) going to start watching theghost house productions presents body, so that I know exactly what I am up against. Soon I will start pricing material for that ball of wax. those props are going to take me all summer to collect for my final work.

Work

So I had another gig with 3ball productions over the weekend. That was frigging awesome! What do I love more then my job? My wife. Beyond that work is like winning the lottery and drinking at the same time. At least till I get off of work and crash for a few days from working my ass off. Besides that I love this shit! I am so glad that I am paying out the nose for this peace of paper...I think...I hope. From what I understand it means nearly jack shit in my field. It's all about skill. I guess that knowledge can help though. The real answer won't come till I have graduated and can't ask for my money back. lol

Video Copilot

I can not believe how little I have been using after effects now. lol. after watching hours of tutorials it makes me feel like I was just looking at the surface and poking it with a stick. Many more hours of tutorials to go and lots of practice, but at least now I got ideas and understanding of some great digital methods to help work around stuff.

Studies of the day

So I watched Dororo. Breathtaking movie. It takes the cheesy road of kung fu. But it does not do it in an overly sickening method. I hate that stuff. Too damn unreal. But hear the mix of fantasy with what far fetched battle techniques are like a silver lining. Then my wonderful wife introduced me to the writings of Isaac Asimov, I read The Last Question. GOOD GOD DAMN! I mean that with all caps. That man was ahead of his time. May his goldenage works live on to onor him for all of mans time.

Studies

So I watched Avatar today as well as Planet 51 and Astroboy. Good stuffers. Makes me kind of miss the fine works of miniatures though. I did like that Planet 51 referenced a lot of cult movies. Yesterday I watched Hellraiser up to 5. Not sure if I wanna continue watching. Kind of hard to go back in time and show more story. Then again, Highlander gave it a shot. meh.

Writing

Oi. Just got done editing my prologue. Go 6 hrs for 5 pages. But learned a lot of where i was going wrong with it.
