Hey Friends and Followers!

I know I've been absent for a while, but I plan to pick things back up in a bit. I'm pretty busy this summer as I'm interning at Pixar Animation Studios and things around here tend to get pretty loaded on. But load or no load there's not really an excuse to let my blog keel over so I'll get some stuff up as soon as possible. Things at the studio are super great--the people, the work, the food and all that are just seriously blowing my mind and it's only been one week. The people up here are really hard workers and are preparing to stun the hell out of you so prepare yourselves, seriously. Anyway, stick around guys and thanks for being patient, like I promised, I'll get you somethin soon!

A Side Note to take place of a real post on a post deficient blog: The very adorable clip below is taken from my FAVORITE FILM, Faces by John Cassavetes. I feel like not too mnay people know of this film or they forget about it but it's highly recommended if you're really into character driven stories and just plain awesomeness. Netflix it or don't be cheap and support great film by buying it. Just invite me over to watch when you do.

                                  

Fourth Year Film

Here's a panning background I finished last night for a 1 minute short I'm working on. I'm just about done with all of the backgrounds and I'll be animating tomorrow. Good luck to all my pals currently working hard on finishing up their films, you're almost there!

Second Sequence..

..I hope it's done tonight...as it kinda HAS to be. Good luck to all of those who are workin' hard on their portfolios and films!

Time To Make Choices

I'm about done with the story for my student film this year so it's almost time to start pumping out final boards. As exciting as it is to finally be moving on to the next step there is a problem...I HAVEN'T SETTLED ON FINAL DESIGNS.

After narrowing down my choices I've decided that either one of these girls appearance can support the personality of the character I've been developing. I like em both so I'm finding it a little hard having to choose between the two. What do YOU think?

The Great Batsby..Coming Soon.

Here is a trailer of a short I've been working on while here at Calarts, working titled "The Great Batsby" I plan to have the entire thing done in the following month or two. A lot of hard work has gone into making this film, including re boarding and animating everything after not being entirely happy with the first version. The trailer includes some things from the older version, along with a few new things. Enjoy!

It's about that Time Again

Every year here at school the students are encouraged to complete a student film. I did one last year which was a pretty cool experience filled with a lot of work production and lack of sleep. That second part doesn't sound too great at all, but it was part of the magic required to complete the daunting task of making a student film. And I'm gonna do it again! Here are a few thumbnail layouts and film art for this year.
