I was listening to the Adam Carolla show this morning, which I have to say I can’t stand that idiot – BUT I adore his co-host Teresa Strasser. Who I met back in like 1999 at my work. I created some 35mm slides for her performance. Then actually went to one of her first [...]

I stepped out of my place and went for a walk along the beach late Saturday afternoon. Just a simple walk, though it reminded me what a wonderful and beautiful place I do live. I was out till 9pm, glad I brought my camera along.

As I attended the SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group/Graphics) convention this year I must admit I had the most humbling moment. As I walked around on the exhibit hall I thought to myself, am I good enough to do the kind of work in the visual effects field. I remembered my first SIGGRAPH back in 1997 [...]

I attended the SIGGRAPH (Special Interest Group/Graphics) convention this year here in Los Angeles. Autodesk just has become the powerhouse in the industry, and announced new versions of most software I haven’t even begun to learn.

Gnomon approached me to work on another project for them. This time it’s a Student Reel for them to run during SIGGRAPH this year. I wanted to tackle this right away, but I have to say after I used Handbrake to rip the digital video off the DVDs of the students’ reels. It was really [...]
