Progress on that into animation for Wayang Outpost , an experimental SAT math program being developed at my school (of which I am the resident character animator)

This is one of those times where I regret not having spent enough time laying down the foundations for the characters (character model sheet). Oye!

I'm fameous!

A huge thanks to the Great Dan Inkeles for this!

...now I need to save up for imdb pro to add my own profile picture!

Box Turtle

(not sure what the second turtle is, but the expression it's giving is priceless)

quite a punch!

the IMDB for The Incident at Tower 37 AKA UPRISING is now up!

...I'm not listed under there. I'm not sure if anim/paint fixer (I guess they used a matte painting I did too) qualifies to be listed up there with everyone else, but hey! The film's complete, and as far as I know, it's been sent off to film festivals (Good luck, Chris!)

I'm a sucker for those nature documentaries. I'd much rather watch Planet Earth than, say, something like The Happening or Mama Mia



Note how this thing punches, HOLDS the thing, and punches it. You ever see a kangaroo pick up another kangaroo by the neck with one paw and wail on its face with the other? I don't think so!



I mean, honestly! A lobster tail that can punch things REALLY hard! And those look like tiny axes! Who would ever think up of that? There's something about reality that makes it so completely bizarre and so much more fantastical than anything I could ever think up.

The touch

This is Dee. He's going to star in my BFA thesis project which will be completed next year.
Obviously Dee is based on myself in that he understands the rules before breaking them (he's a "hacker" in the same way that MacGuyver is a "hacker" - finding alternate ways to use stuff). He's an inventor and tinkerer and has a dirigible made out of the old, unwanted technologies from the past.

I'm still hammering out the story, but I have a character and the message I want to convey.

Also, I've scored a minidisk player/recorder. Apparently, technology likes me; My older brother ditched it because it was broken (I managed so MAGICALLY fix it!). I guess I just have that special touch with machines!

Origin of Species

I was going through my old stuff when I found this file. It's the first ever appearance of my "Oh Noes" characters in any of my cartoons (and probably my first ever FINISHED one).

Yes, it's tweened.

Yes, it's based on real events.

Yes, it's a timeless classic. I hope. It still applies to me today (THIS WEEK EVEN!)
