I am a animation storyboard Artist, currently working on Star Wars Rebels.
DeSeve is a romanticized fellow. The kind of man who has everything together.
Wakefield admires his coolness and calm straight forward nature. He is a real easy going fellow. A mans man. The John Wayne type who always knows what to do. He is considered to be a man of action.
Over time we learn that he is no of these things. In trueth he is a fake. A fraud. DeSeve is nothing more than actor playing playing a role. Under pressure he is the first to turn tail and run.
I found this drawing sitting under a pile of hats in my room. Its one of those, wake up at two in the morning and draw while your half asleep drawings. It is a design from the Wakefield project.
A rough model of a mountain city I made in Maya late one night last month. I may take it into zbrush and paint it up if I have time.It had been sitting in one of my folders for a while and I thought it would be best to share it before it fades away. Its fun. I like it.
A few loose ArtRage images floating around my media library.
I practically had to tear Silas away from my wacom tablet today. He was so passionate about his scribbling. He watches me draw at the computer all day so I guess Its no surprise that he would want to have a go at it as well.
More than anything I think he really just likes the shinny tablet pen. It is his precious. We’ve caught him running away with it several times this week and now I must make a habit of keeping it away from the edge of the desk.
Silas and I had a drawing adventure in the backyard today. I went to the local art store and picked up a tub of colored chalk and a couple tubes of finger paint. The morning rain had stopped and drawing outside on the porch just felt like a good idea. He thought so too.
Good ‘ol USC film Production. I’m really proud that I went to a film school when you could still call it a film school.
If I remember correctly my freshman year was the last 190 class there actually shot everything on super 8. I searched high and low just to find a decent super 8 camera. Oh how I loved my Beaulieu 4008 ZMII, she was a beautiful thing. I still think she puts my little sony HD camera to shame. I love film, everything just looks better. Now I fully admit that digital has made great strides in the last few years. Its sharp and clean but almost too much so. Its on the verge of being sterile. Thats fine for some people but me I prefer the buttery imperfection of film. I’ve always found it to be a bit magical.
A USC Cinema 310 project that I made in collaboration with Fabrice Lorenceau.
A super8 films I shot for my USC Cinema 180 class. This was my take on Noir.
A super8 films I shot for my USC Cinema 180 class. Shot late at night at the USC school of Fine Arts printing lab. The etching in the film was something I was working on at the time.
shot with a home made dolly and the amazing beaulieu 4800 Z2 super8 camera. God I love that camera.
A super8 films I shot for my USC Cinema 180 class. Shot on location at the family vineyards. (Robert Young Estate Winery).
Totally pointless but really fun to make.
(THE AUDIO TRACK IS LOST) the film makes no sense without the narrator.
A USC Cinema 310 project I made in colaboration with Fabrice Lorenceau. At the time we were trying to make a live action cartoon. Shortly after this I put down my camera and made the switch to animation.
Well I found out who was eating all the bird seed from the feeder and lets just say it wasn’t the birds.
I made this little time lapse movie to solve the mystery.
Yeah I’m a dork. I’ve been geeking out on ways to make the site faster, and today I managed to move all of my images over to their own subdomain.
What this means is that all of the images can now be loaded in parallel with all of the other files that you are opening. Before it would take a little while for all of the images to load on the site. Thats because all of the files were being loaded thru a single source. Now that I have subdomains set up for all of the images, html, cssimages, and javascript files which make up this site. They all now come from different locations. Instead on one funnel there are four and so everything moves faster. yeah!
The hardest part of all this was trying to redirect all of the images from the Nextgen Gallery plugin that I use. Today I was digging through the php files and I found the little snippet of code for the base url. I changed it and TA DA! like magic suddenly everything worked! Problem solved.
Go go gadget geek powers!
