So...being the masochist that I am, while juggling multiple projects, I decide to
create some animations for the Toronto Animated Image Society's Bunny Jam.
The rule was simple, create animations, no longer than 10 seconds, featuring bunnies, in honor of this being the Year of the Rabbit.
After creating the animations, I realized that I could create a little more animation, linking the already created clips together and then submit the finished short to ASIFA-Atlanta's Roll Your Own, and Dragon*Con's Independent Film Festival.
The real excitement happened when I tried to burn a DVD on Thursday the 5th. My existing software was corrupted, so I had to replace it. Bought software off the web, well known company, in fact I had used them before on a different machine, I won't mention their name. This software was so buggy, that they sent me a list of instructions detailing how to REMOVE it from my computer so I could re-install it.
Bear in mind that the clock was ticking, and I had to mail the DVD to the Dragon*Con festival on the 6th, and each install, un-install took hours. So, after wasting all that time, I found the perfect solution to my problem.
Thanks to capitalism, and sweet, sweet competition; I found the solution with
Movavi Video Suite 9.
So, I submitted to the festival, but won't find out if it was accepted until June.
I'll keep you posted.
Quick little assignment I did , to take a break from animating a chicken.
I really enjoy working with Illustrator now. I wondr why it took me so long to come around to using it?
Hey, where's the New Guy that came in on Friday? He was in the pit last night when you punched out.
Better make a few calls and try to figure out what happened. Maybe it's just a paper work snafu, you know, a scheduling problem.
Why did this have to happen at the beginning of your shift?
The Boss is gonna be a little more than miffed.
There's gonna be Hell to pay.
Here she is, Charybdis. Once again, a beautiful maiden, transformed by an angry god into a monstrous beast that sucks down whole ships, devouring all on board.
One of the most unusual races found in the Greek myths, is the Sciapods.
A race of one legged men, incredibly swift, capable of covering large distances in their leaps.
They live in hot climates, and use their gigantic foot to give them shade.
The original frat boy, satyrs were only concerned with drinking, chasing nymphs, and maybe playing a little music.
The mysterious Sphinx, poser of the famous question, "What walks on all fours in the morning, two legs at midday, and four legs in the evening?"
On a side note, when I was Art Director at Stone Mountain Productions, a discussion was taking place about how "sphinx" should be pronounced.
A woman was asking why you didn't say "spinks" instead of "sfinks", and a co-worker said because the ph made the f sound. She argued that it didn't make sense, and he countered with, " It's the same reason you don't say "telepone".
Good times, good times.
