not much to say here... Christmas Season... like last year... is consuming my time. Im either working on Thesis, working at the Chick-Fil-A, sleeping, or playing some games in my few precious hours.

So im sorry DA for being so silent... i gotta be able to feed the Real World all my monies... and to do that... i need monies!

so thats what im doing... so im not on here.

cleared up?

awesome!

Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

UPDATE: Im done... sorry if you missed it... LOL! not that watching someone animate is all too exciting.

Broadcasting live now! See me at [link]

Because i get asked the question alot it seems... here is the list of software i use when doing animated films.

For Animation -"Maya" (currently version 2009)

For Rendering -"Maya Mental Ray" (though in the future id like to own Pixar's Renderman)

For Frame Combining -"After Effects" (currently version CS3)

For Editing -"Final Cut Pro" (currently version 6)

Compositing not being my strong suit... i dont use "Shake" or anything though i do own it... i usually only need simple compositing done so use "Motion 3" or "After Effects CS3"

Hope that was insightful... if anyone ever has any questions about 3D animation or what have you... id be happy to answer to the extent of my knowledge

the loan companies are trying to end me... i know that now.

i wish i could dedicate all to my thesis... but i find that every other week im having to fix some new problem with my loans.

HOW HARD IS THEIR JOB? if they stop pushing buttons then shit wouldnt get broken and i wouldnt have to fix it AGAIN!

but thats my life. Im more intelligent than most people apparently... at least in the (un)common sense area, so its often up to me to do their jobs for them.

I just cant wait til its all over... Grad School was way too expensive for the grief im getting.

Workin on Revival... (my Thesis Film)

My goal is to be finished with it MINUS sound and music by Christmas so im pumping thru on the animation, which takes time and care to get quality. AND QUALITY is what counts!!! Dont worry, im not abandoning the Comic... But like i said, im gonna finish the Arc before i release it. So please be patient as i only work on it in my spare time.

Regarding real life work... I may at sometime do some more work for Pixellex... if they have use for me... and in November i will be contacting those companies that wished to hear back from me and updating them on where im at and see if they have work!!! i will also update my reel hopefully in November.

In the mean time... i play Left4Dead and Halo 3 in my relax times. Speaking of Halo, did you know that a Halo fan film called Operation Chastity is being made? You should check out their website @ [link] Ive got a good feeling about it.

And hey, if in the off chance that someone working on the film reads this post... If you guys aver need some animators for ANYTHING... hit me up! im always right here on DA and across the web!
