More importantly though, is this SOPA issue. I honestly never thought it would make it this far. But old people who know little about the internet continue to insist this the right thing to do. It’s like the beginning of 1984, I swear. Inform your reps if you live in the USA. If you don’t live here, I envy you.

Anyways, studies are going well. Currently wrapping up an interterm class on Digital Modeling. Really cool class. I’ve learned a ton. For my final I’m modeling my own head. I’ve always wanted to do that. Now I can give myself the facial hair I’ve always dreamed of!

Take care,

I’ll be constructing animation sequences for narration parts of the film. It’s a good way to provide context to the film and to illustrate key points and data needed to increase comprehension and understanding of the point of the film.

Onto the technical. I’m more of a visual effects guy then an animator. So I used this to my advantage. I made use of the puppet tool in Adobe After Effects CS5. The puppet tool, in short, assigns points to an image to be “puppeted”, or manipulated. In this way you can create some very simple, and actually pretty cool, animations. From there on it just works like good old fashioned key-framed animation.
Pretty rocking right?

Stay tuned. New video coming to the youtube channel.

I’m not dead. But I’m close. Working my ass off on a feature length documentary. Check out the project and give it some support at http://www.breakingthesilencethefilm.com/

Anywhoodles… New video of mine is almost done. Working on the title for it and then it goes live. Plus if I find the time to throw in a tutorial, then that would be awesome too!

Thanks for your support! I’m thinking about starting a kicstarter for the Resistance episode 3… Maybe not directly because of copyrights and goodies like that, but the money would support getting a script done and a crew hired and signed on. What do you think?
