"we are radiation romeos."


gotta love 80s hair metal.

and for a moment, There were two ...

foOpahzzhEEzoh!

The deadline at Hurd Studio is wednesday, and we are going to make it. Or at least my stuff will. Good thing I have been spending every minute except for sleeping there, or I might not have.

First real, serious gig I have to say. Very good experience. Excatly what I was looking for. Learned alot, did alot, made a good impression. Cept my lighting skills could be better and faster. But I knew that. I have never done it before.

And regarding the title of this entry. I just finished reading 21 seconds of giberish I orriginally recorded for my short, but passed on because it just was not the right energy, But it will be a blast and one hell of a challange animating to. First real effort at lip synch in 2D. Here we go.

I've been lucky enough to be working on rendering at hurd which leaves many stray minutes to paruse blogs such as the art of Glen Keane. Wow. Talk about inspiriation and motivation.

Goodbye

Goodbye summer. Although I miss not your heat waves, and dissaprove of your behavior in July and August, it was fun.

Cool

I want one and I don't know why. Or perhaps a reason to put it to good use.

Good to be back

Spikes covering his fore-arms, tattoos and scars on his the face, the frail, drunk little man shakes my hand,” good to be back in jersey ... I went through a lot of fights to get here.”

“Worth it?” I ask.

“I don’t like fighting.” He says, executing a miraculous, stumble-free dismount off the escalator.

web site progress

And my website sees progress. Lets see if anyone gets as much of a kick out of my home page as me.

Band: Pantera
Song: War Nerve
Lyrics: the very first line



Odd. Now, lets go in the opposit direction.

United States Postal Service. I detest thee. All hail FedEx.

Let There Be Sleds!

So I have all the kids in the neighborhood pulling sleds now. Cept for the teenagers cause they are too cool to show any interest at all. And its not sleds plural, its my sled, and only once, but that is besides the point.

After I was done on saturday I let em have a go at it. Nothing like the biggest, bossy-est kid in the group talk tough about how easy it is, then first time he takes off, jerk to a stop like he's tied to the wall.

The picture blow, although not me, is a about what you will see on the side streets of jersy city three days a week. Cept more weight, hair, side burns, and a sexier ass.

RIP

And my dog is dead. Put down this morning. it being, 666 and all, maybe satan will be pleased. Now I don't need to sacrifice any virgins.

Thunder and Lightning

I really missed the rain.

Watch out!

Word of the Day

Today's word is "blivit." Definition: "10 pounds of nonsense in a 5 pound bag."

Food for thought ...




Ever have one of those days ...

MUSIC!

The soon to be proud owner of a protable personal audio device. Good bye cruel world and sideways hat wearing doofus who assumes everyone else on the train wants to hear the latest lame hip-hop via your cell phone turned up as loud as it goes.

Happy Birthday to me

And the best present I got today I made myself. Finished up rough animation on one the ending shots.

I love animating.

Rumble

Imagery of the day is ... something massive, with horns, charging.



This is going to be a good month.

Here is a "Hey-oh" to miscomunication.


rough animation in flash






sometimes you are just not strong enough.

Flying

For the past two days.

And here are some screen shots from my current dialogue test in progress .

and my time fills up.

Priroty number one, finish 3D character.

Priority number two: animate said character ... sickly

number three: film.

should be able to get my character up and running in under a week. And by week I mean 7 full days that I will be able to work on him.

last priority: make more time.

got intro shots animated for my film. using the computer for the crazier perspective.





Cut into my animatic here

web site HO!

And I start down the time consuming task of making a web page. Now there is at least the possibility of others seeing how much time I am putting in huddled over light boxes, computer screens, and citique tablets, other then my two animation comrades.

Who knows maybe someday Naked Apple will be a house hold name.
