Sick & Tired

Also completed the documentary on my good friend Swampass, the documentary is split into three parts, you can find the first part here:

Swampass (look in the info of the video for links to the 2nd and 3rd part)

The 1st short for the Orrick Law Firm is 100% done. I'm about halfway done with the second short which will have a strong sci-fi theme to it; i've been having some fun with that.

I started putting together the video for my dog Cream but it is taking longer than expected, I wouldn't expect the video to be complete anytime soon. But in time it will be up and it will do her justice :).

I've done as much as I can with thesis until school starts again next week. I got a little past halfway the riot scene, originally I had planned to finish this by the end of summer but alot of things unfortunately got in the way of that and it did take longer than expected on top of that.

Moving back to the GW Saturday, packing my self up as we speak.

Cream, Sick & Tired, Sloth, and Whale Rape

Unfortunately my dog "Cream" recently past away, we had been with her for over ten years and she had become a part of the family. I'm in the process of collecting all the videos I have of her to put something together to remember her by. If anyone is interested you can see more photos of her at my facebook photo album here: Cream's Photo Album

In other news I finished the opening animation to my Brother's Documentary "Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired" It was screened in front of an audience of 800 and seemingly got very good reactions. I will be putting that animation up in the near future as long as it is ok with my Brother and the other Director/Producer Harry.

Oh and the second to last webisode of Sloth is FINALLY UP! You can check it out here:
SLOTH

Lastly I made a video with a friend of mine just for shits and giggles, this may make you think lower of me but I think it's important for everyone to know the dangers of...

Whale Rape

Production on both the animation for the Orrick Law Firm and Thesis has continued as well. The first short of Orrick will be finished today and i'm at Shot 13 of the Second Scene of my Thesis(Keeping in mind i'm doing the second scene first then going back and doing the First Scene and lastly The Third Scene)

Post Otakon

Hey just got back from Otakon, was incredibly fun and chaotic as usual. Had a great time!

I cosplayed for the first time this year and figured why not go all out so me and my girlfriend Amanda did two costumes together. She is fully responsibly for the costume, I just paid my way and helped apply the makeup and wore it. However I did come up with the idea to be Manchu and her be Pika girl.

The workshop that I did with Mayshing went well, I pretty much winged it since I had never been a part of a panel/workshop before and had trouble really planning it out with mayshing since she was rather busy. But the crowd really seemed to enjoy it and took a lot out of it.

I also have tons of amazing footage from the expo and hope to put a video up on youtube within a week, i'll post again when it's up.

There are more pics from Otakon on my facebook page and certainly more to come in the near future so keep a look out.

Also the "drinking and drawing" animation is finally online, you can check it out here:
Drinking&Drawing

Later,

Pre-Otakon

I'm heading to Baltimore Maryland tomorrow for Otakon, the biggest anime expo on the east coast! Should be a good time. I'll be dressing up both Friday & Saturday, Saturday I will be one of the band members from the Daft Punk Film "Interstella 5555" while Amanda will be the girl from the same film. The costume for Friday is a surprise, but look for yellow.

I'll be a part of Mayshing's panel on the 2nd day of Otakon if anyone would like to come and check it out:

"How to make your own anime at home"

11:30 AM - 1:30 PM
Workshop 1 (BCC - Room 339-340)

I've made a bit more progress on Thesis, animated a little more and put some of it together in AfterEffects, i'm having some cameo's appear in the protest scene.

I've also made a bit more progress on the intro to "Sick & Tired of Being Sick & Tired", i've begun animating the main bit of it and from here on in there are no cuts just lots of animated camera movements.

I storyboarded the first short for The Orrick Law Firm and have actually begun animating it now, so production is actually underway.

Well off to Otakon, hope to see some of you there!

Drink and Draw Now Now!

So last night was the second day of the Now Now film festival, a local film festival put together by a friend of mine from high school where-in I had the chance to screen both of my latest animated shorts. It went pretty well, the first day was rather slow and small but the second day we filled up almost all the seats at the two screenings. I also was able to sell 6 dvds and make some cash money. I'm looking forward to the next festival.

Went to the Drink & Draw event this past Wednesday and had an excellent time. I was lucky enough draw after Bill Plympton! I was left with some breasts shooting milk into the air for his last frame, I turned that milk into missles and sent them into a Bikini Zombie face. I drew a second time and was given just a girl's chest holding a dick in one hand... seems like generally people just drew obscenities but I guess you'd expect nothing less from a bunch of animators given total freedom to draw with a bar 2 feet behind them. Well I turned that dick into a fish anyway. Spent the rest of the night hanging out with friends, was a real good time.

I got the job at the Orrick law firm, should be working two days a week now to produce their 3-4 minute animation, definitely looking forward to that.

Thumbs Up the Final Cut is up on Veoh, everyone should check it out!

Along with the Outtakes on YouTube!

I also made some more progress on both the intro animation to my brother's documentary "sick and tired of being sick and tired" & my thesis film.

Animation Collaboration

What happens when you have 13 animators create a film together with practically no restriction other than a two day time limit and to continue where the last animator left off?

Utter chaos...

See for yourself:
