Ridley Scott's Gladiator:

Life Drawings

Some drawings from last year, second semester...

Hansel & Gretel color script

Our visual development class is doing development work for the Brothers Grimm's Hansel and Gretel...

First post of this brand new school year and the semester is already half over! I need to organize my stuff so I'll be able to post more often. More to come!

Mallard Duck

I designed and animated this guy for a short segment in my film this past year. Since I hadn't made any hair clips in a long time (and once had ambitions to create hundreds... yes, hundreds!) I thought it'd be fitting to convert him into a hair clip. I've been sketching out some other designs and hopefully I'll be making them soon!

I still have a box of plastic beads leftover from the days when every 7-year-old had some sort of beading kit. I guess it was worth saving over the years because the black beads make good pupils! :)

please make me update my blog

Summer is quickly drawing to a close... which is scary and exciting at the same time. Scary because I haven't gotten as much done as I had hoped (and have obviously been neglecting this blog). Exciting because I can't wait to get back to school! It's still hard to grasp the fact that this will be my THIRD year already.

So i've had this lomography fisheye camera for almost a year and I just developed the last roll of film I had bought. I try to lug it with me (why must it feel so unnecessarily bulky in comparison to the gadgets of today?) when I go places, but I've been using it sparingly.

Anyway, after three rolls of fooling around and 'failed' photos- here is the first photo that I feel is notable. This was taken at the cemetery in Virginia City in late May with three exposures.

Now to buy more film...

Second Year Film: Paper Pains

Here it is, finally uploaded it on youtube...
Many more valuable lessons were learned this year and hopefully I won't make the same mistakes as I did this year... especially in terms of work habits. The key is to start early and make deciscions early!

So it's not really "finished", but it's as far as I got this year.
I think my goal for next year is to actually make something that I will be proud of.

film characters and some life drawing

These are the two main characters of my film this year.

a super happy but not so bright raccoon...

and his pet and friend bird... 

Only 42 days left to complete my film... ahhhhhh.
