Stand up for what you believe in!

But do it when the moment is right.

"Just Because" Music Video

During February, I spent a lot of time working on a music video for a "One Smith Band" contest. They are a local Boston group and make pretty awesome music. I'm pretty happy with how the video came out. Obviously I would've liked to tweak many things had there been more time (the backgrounds, most importantly), but, you do what you can. I've discovered that working on music videos is super fun. Working out the timing and seeing it all come together is like a puzzle, and finishing it and being happy with it is very satisfying.

But, I will not take all the credit. Here are the awesome people I worked with:

Stephanie Stender - director

Justin Cichon - animator

Geoff Marian - animator

Spoon through my EYE

Mondays are hard.

FRIDAY!

Hooray for Fridays! Double hooray for long weekend Fridays!

Animated gifs seem to run super slow on my fancy at work.

Cape Flap

Not perfect by any means, but a fun way to pass the time. One of the things I miss most about animating is capes.

The "Lost" Side-Effect

I haven't updated my blog in about 2 months. I think this can mostly be attributed to my 2-month addiction to the TV show "Lost." But, that's over with now, so I figured I'd update my blog with a "Lost"-themed animation.

There's theories about the healing effects of the island in "Lost." I don't think anyone really knows why, yet. But it'd be fun to try out this theory on other islands.

Or... totally not fun at all.

Brain-Fried

I've been so busy lately I can't think straight. It doesn't help that I'm addicted to "Lost," either, and losing sleep watching it. Uuuuuggghh.
