HALLOWEEN COSTUME

Hello hello,

For my Halloween costume this year I bought myself a Jumpsuit from ARAMARK and proceeded to trick it out with dozens and dozens of lights. After many many hours of hard work...

THE INTERNET WAS BORN!

Here are some pics of my Halloween costume as the internet:







TIIIME LAAAPSSE PHOTOGRAPHY!!!

FUN FACT: The medical condition know as "Alien hand syndrom" is extremely rare, so much so that it has been potrayed in movies and television more times that acctual documented cases in real life.

CHARACTER DESIGNS:

Here are some glam shots for my upcoming film about Presidential Bad-Assery

GEORGE WASHINGTON

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

FUN FACT: So much for unlucky 13, in many Asian countries the number 4 is considered unlucky because its pronunciation is similar to the pronunciation of the word for "Death"

FOR NON-ANIMATORS...

There is nothing more impressive looking than a screen shot from a 3D modeling program...



Cool looking right? I could have drawn that in 30 seconds but instead I've been sitting here for over an hour figuring it out! Everybody has to start somewhere though right?? RIGHT???

FUN FACT: During medical procedures redheads require 20% more sedation than there non-fiery counterparts. On top of that, no one really knows why...

STORYBOARDS!

Here are some storyboards for my 4th year thesis film: "GEORGE WASHINGTON VS THE SKY SHARK(S)" they are hastily draw thumbnails, but who knows, maybe you'll find them interesting.











Hopefully you all won't have to wait too long for this one, thesis projects for graduating students (like me) are due in mid April of next year if you want a diploma... a pretty tight production schedual for a 3 minute film... Keep on the lookout for updates!


FUN FACT: Swallowed gum does not actually stay in your stomach for 7 years; though some ingredients are non-digestible, that doesn't keep them from keeping pace with the rest of the gastrointestinal traffic.

WELCOME TO THE 3RD DIMENSION...

I just got done taking my first 3D animation class and we came out of it with a "Rubin Vase" which is to say, a vase where you can see the image of a person in the negative space. Notice anything familiar in that handsome profile? You guessed it, its me.



FUN FACT: It might be safer not to wear a bike helmet, drivers unconsciously drive on average 3 inches further away from bike riders without helmets because they perceive them to be more reckless and unpredictable.

ITS THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN...

Time for another school year at CalArts has begun and thus it is time to start work on my final year "Thesis Film."



The working title for this one is "GEORGE WASHINGTON VS THE SKY SHARKS." and yes, it is all capital letters...

I've got a good set of classes this semester including but not limited to: 3D Maya intro class, Screen Printing (Hopefully), Color & Design 101, and After Effects... so with any luck I should have lots of interesting stuff to post here.



In other news, I have been musing over the possibility of getting another internship since the last one went so well... This time the studio I'm interested in would in NEW YORK CITY. I've got the application all ready to send out, just need the stamps.

I really have no idea how something like that would work out, it being my last year and all... but ya know, I'm resourceful and junk so whatever.

FUN FACT: In America, the least trusted ideological group are the Atheists
