Blue skies bring tears

We just wrapped production on the fourth video in our summer ‘09 internship at school. It was a monumental amount of work spread across a little over three months. Against all odds, and barring a few minor hiccups, we got through it. The sun seems brighter and the sky bluer.

I’ve uploaded another of my concordia projects to the student films section. This one’s using hand-drawn animation and dates back to 2004.

Thinking outside the box

(September 2000)

This was my first animation assignment at Interdec College in 2000. At this point all we knew how to do was manipulate objects using basic transforms. The assignment was to make the six faces of a cube close to form a box. I think we had just begun using XSI 1.0 or 1.5. Remarkably, i think it still holds up. Volumic light always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling.

I was informed (Thanks, Dave) that Googling my name continues to bring up links to my old website. Links which do not exist anymore. So instead of waiting around for the spiders (or wallowing in my sudden existential dread), i installed a dummy home.html page with some redirect code. Awesome :D

(I can see my posts becoming less substantial and more frequent, but this does not trouble me).
