I must tell you about my thoughts

Sony is $158 dollars richer. Does it make me less of a man that I could not fix my PS3? Perhaps. It was a long, arduous battle. I believe my competitor would say they same. I dealt heavy blows, quick upper cuts. I ripped in greedily. I tore things out, unplugged power supplies, unscrewed screws. I felt confident. That was my folly. The vitality of my manhood rested on confidence alone. There was no substance, no talent or ability. Just wishful thinking. How will I be remembered? Nothing more than a confirmation number. I lonely 11-digit identification to show I am but one of many who was defeated. As they say, history is written by the victors.

My skills for visual effects and animation are starting to get noticed around my school. That, of course, is an overstatement. I'm actually quite unknown and little thought of, but at least people are asking me to do things.

1.) A Day at the Park: This film screens in ONE week. Pretty crazy. This film was my first senior thesis film and my first attempts at 3D animation. I'd say it's the more coherent of the films I've worked on.

2.) The Waking Ones: This film is bad. No really, this is a terrible film. Bad acting, bad story, TERRIBLE camera work, bad lighting. The only even remotely good things about this film are the sound design and the visual effects, which unfortunately are the two things the audience really could care less about. I've been working on the visual effects, and I must say they look pretty sexy. There's this one scene where this guy's face gets ripped off (kind of...it's more metaphorical or as they might say "bad") and light is supposed to emit from his face.

3.) The Mighty Lou Kingston: At first I did not like this film. Now I kind of like it. It's a boxing film where the main character is a 2D animated character (which I'm supposed to do...somehow.) The script needs a little work, but there is plenty of time to get this one done.


ANIMATIONEDUCATION

jeez, I'm really going heavy-handed with this animation stuff.

Well, I found a good animation school in France, and their stuff needs to be seen.




Way too good for student work. Really. Too good. What the heck.


Also, if you haven't seen these guys you should. These next two are the past academy award winning short animated films. Logorama is funny, La maison en petit cubes is French, and therefor heartbreakingly sad. Both of them are worth the time to watch.
