Lack of updates

Life's become hectic again. Apparently the old people in my family decided now was a good time to start kicking the bucket :[

First meeting?

The first tentative meeting for AA may be on April 9 (two weeks after spring break).

This isn't an official RSO yet but that doesn't mean that we can't start doing stuff!

Mr. Bean and Mr. Butt

Comp anim 2 character models.

Mr. Bean will run around and flail his limbs. Mr. Butt will sit there and jiggle.

A winner is me

Mr. Elliot Cowan, the art you sent me was delicious. Please send more.

More pics to come. I'm supposed to take pictures of me with the DVD with friends

What the

Someone explain to me why Wall-E didn't win the awards for best sound mixing/editing.

I mean, The Dark Knight had some good sound effects in it, but it didn't make me go WHOA WOW THAT'S AMAZING like Wall-E did.

And the Christian Bale emphysema voice couldn't have helped it win best sound editing.

And best sound mixing went to Slumdog? Granted- I haven't seen Slumdog Millionaire, but again, I can't imagine how it's better than Wall-E in the sound effects department.

I'm heading into an industry which is regarded as second class by the institutions who controls who gets the glory and credit. So do I learn to live with getting the shaft or do I say "SCREW YOU" and rally against these guys?

Frickin huge bones

I'm starting to think that, if my plans don't fall through in the serious business of animation, I'd probably be just as happy working in a zoo. Anywhere where I can get away with sketching alive/dead things.

Also, is it better to delude yourself with illusions of grandeur and happiness or to live in a possibly bleak reality?
