It's finally here!  This is my short film I created my senior year of college.  I understand it's not the best but it was my first film, first time ever having to make a longer piece from scratch.  So, all things considering, I don't think it's that bad.  Plus, it's the m...

I always got along with everyone but never fit in with anyone. In high school, I was the floater. I’d drift from friend to friend and from one circle to another and it was nice having such a diverse group of people around me but I still felt like I was lacking something. Unfortunately, I&he...

One and a half weeks left.  I have so much to do and everything has to be turned in by this coming Monday.  Hm, quick question.  If I say this Monday, do people take that to mean this Monday that just passed 'cause it's still included in this week?  Or since it has passed, doe...

I was in my character animation class on Monday when my professor showed us a few "behind the scenes" clips from Disney's Tarzan.  I forget who was doing the talking, whether it was an animator, director or some kind of animation supervisor but he was talking about the scene in whi...

My first week back at school went fairly well.  Just like last quarter, I only have two classes.  I'm taking animation portfolio, which is where I gather all of my crappy animations I've done during my years at SCAD and put them into a crappy demo reel.  I also create a resume...

Only two classes and nine more weeks and then I'll be graduating. If I'd really let that fact sink in, I'm sure I'd be terrified.  But right now I just want to be finished so I'm suppressing the terror and allowing the feeling of wanting to be done to wash over me. One of my classes&hel...

I am thoroughly broken and exhausted but my film is finally done. I kept telling everyone (and myself) that I was going to be done by this past Sunday.  Unfortunately, as I feared would happen, I worked every day up until today, submission day.  The past two nights I've stayed up u...

I had originally planned to be done by yesterday, although I pretty much knew I wouldn't be.  Fortunately, after tonight I'll only have to composite in moving clouds into the scenes (the film takes place on a playground) and then do my opening and closing credits.  I'll p...

Hard at work trying to finish this darn film.  I'm so close to being done that I'm slowing down.  I'm not slowing down because I'm getting lazy because I feel like I don't have much more to do.  I'm slowing down because I am burned out on this project.  All of my time and ener...

I usually use Microsoft Word to type up my entries and then transport them into OD but since this site has been upgraded, I thought I'd bust out an entry directly on here.  I'll probably go back to Word later on, especially because I usually just type out a thought or idea or line of…
