A List of Repairs

This morning, I got two teeth fixed...

After that, the sole of my shoe ripped almost clean off.  I fixed it, but now it sounds funny when I walk.

 Before all of this happened, as I was waking up this morning, my Dad sent me a text message that read,

"Bone marrow negative"

He has been going through cancer treatment for about a year.  The bone marrow test was the last test he needed to confirm his full recovery!  His eyebrows have been growing back and his hair is starting to come in again.  He beat cancer!
 
So, three things were repaired today: my teeth, my sole, and my Dad.

Space Shot Music video

The final Space Shot music video on youtbe.

I don't want to post the version I have, because it's unfinished.  The youtube one is the final.

Production still from the piece:

The lead character's bounties:

 

  So this is one of the first projects I worked on at Bent Image Lab.  I have always wanted to make music videos...ever since, let's see....the fifth grade?  I helped on this piece by designing the spaceship, building the model, animating, compositing...I co-built the live action cockpit too!

  Enjoy the music video.  This marks a milestone for me in my book of, Things I  Want to Accomplsih!.  I just hope there are more for me in the future!

That is all...

Fancy Footwork, Anifest, and Puppets in Prague

These are images from my latest very, very short film called Fancy Footwork, produced at Bent Image Lab. I submitted it to Anifest in Trebon, Czech Republic. I might be attending a puppet workshop in Prague, which is 2 hours away from Trebon, around the same time as the festival. Cross your fingers for me.

Going to the workshop and the festival depends on a few different factors that are now waning (financial and others). Such is life.

If it doesn't get in, and if I don't make it to Prague or Trebon this summer, I will not be terribly disappointed. I already consider the opportunity to make the film a personal triumph (because it's the first time I've ever been paid to animate!). I tried, and I might fail, but I'm happy about the trying part.

New Generation of Czech Animation Exhibit

I went to this fantastic stop motion exhibit in New york at the Czech Center called New Generation of Czech Animation. It showed filmakkers works, obviously from The Czech Republic, mostly from the school in Prauge. I will update and post more pictures later!

Home again home again Jiggity Jig

These are pictures from my Home in Mississippi.  I do adore a few things about it...

My Heart

Downtown Savannah Pictures

Currently I am living in Savannah, GA. I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design, and during my time there, I was always too busy to relax and enjoy this place. I am some-what of a workaholic, and am trying to teach myself how to relax and enjoy life and my surroundings. So, one day I walked around this historical town and just took some pretty pictures. Here they are!

Armstrong College

This college is now much bigger and moved to another side of town. This is the original building where the college once was and less than 100 students attended the first year!

I really appreciate the lighting and color of this one
