A lot less people have seen this than I thought, but here’s the film I worked on for the 48 hour film challenge! I put it up on Vimeo, along with other gems such as the entire WALDO series, and some of my school stuff. So, the challenge part of the 48 hour film challenge, is that we were given 1) a genre, 2) a character, 3) a prop, and 4) a line of dialogue. We got 1) horror, 2) Jill Meyers: veterenarian, 3) a portable music player, and 4) “they will get them if we let them”. All groups got the same character, prop, and line of dialogue, but the genre was different for each. We had some real trouble coming up with the concept for it, and didn’t even start shooting until 24 hours into the challenge. My role was basically just the editor, but I guess I helped a little in other aspects of the film.
btw, it’s really effing quiet, so turn up your sound.
In other news, Bill and I are coming down to IOWA!! We’ll be there from monday to friday, and we’ll be ready to hang out and do cool things. But only the COOLEST of things will suffice. We’re picky that way.
In other, other news, my car stereo died. Sorry Steven, it’s the one you gave me. I guess it was pretty old, anyway. It slowly died, first it stopped lighting up part of the time, then it stopped lighting up all the time, then it just plain stopped working. The new stereo I’m getting will have an iPod hookup, which is actually pretty cheap nowadays, so I can power my iPod and listen to music through the same cord. BONUS!
Over the past two weeks, I’ve been TAing for the Animation part of SES. Since I’m kind of underqualified for the job (I’ve never taken an animation class) most of my time has been spent sitting in the computer lab with the students playing flash games. I recently discovered Orisinal, which makes adorable games that are pretty fun.
Probably the best game ever, though, is N Ninja. You play a little acrobatic guy who jumps around and you pretty much just have to open the door and make it to the exit. It’s SO FRUSTRATING, but SO MUCH FUN. I’ve made it to Episode 10, but I’ve recently discovered that there are 100 episodes, with 5 levels per episode, and it’s taking me about an hour per-level now to beat them. F that s in the a. D.
Stay tuned for some VIDEO-related posts!
1 & 2 – KITTY PICS! Who doesn’t love some funny cat pictures? The first one I used as my facebook picture for awhile. The second one is just a classic.
3 – Just in case you forgot how adorable husky puppies are, here’s a reminder.
4 – This is from when I rode a motorcycle through a burning ring of fire while trying to unlock a safe on top of my head wearing handcuffs. Oh, I was also in a giant block of ice suspended above a volcano.
5 – I don’t know if this is really a good score in KittenCannon or not, but I guess it was high enough for me to take a screenshot of it.
6 – This is a clipping from the Gazette that my dad sent me. Genencor was furious that they spelled his name wrong.
First: we grilled out! It was warm, and we were hungry, thus meat was grilled and eaten. Allison, our resident grilling extraordinaire, did most of the grilling. That is until we found out that the bratwurst were still very red inside, then evan and I took them back out for grilling round 2. Is it bad that this is the first time we’ve used this grill since we got it last summer? Survey says: yes.
Second: Hey, look, I drew something. It’s kind of like a pikmin. A really big pikmin.
Third: This might be my DVD cover for my demo reel that I’m working on. Is it too much? I think so. I’m still working on it.
p.s. it’s my birthday! no more important ages after this one, now I’ll just get regular old.
I won a scholarship, too! Not as much as Evan’s, a lowly $2,000, but I’m still psyched about it! I would tell everyone to go to my website (secret: that is a link), but I think pretty much everyone has seen my movies already. Also, I just posted it. Just go to it anyway. Watch Petbusters or something. It’ll do you some good.
