Summer portrait practice [part 1 of many]

- Melanie Olm, you rawk! Now Sheridan MUST have a stop motion program thanks to you [and Ken Turner]!

- Myself and the always awesome and ridiculously photogenic Elizabeth Mccullough! [I’m the one who looks like a drunk asian in a yellow tshirt, only I wasn’t…. It’s just the colour of the paint talkin… Honest.]

- Karen Kim, the double jointed alien from Cali who comes in peace!

- Joe Ho, made that one just in time for his barf day!

College portfolio

Since school is wrapping up soon and the animation department is in a tizzy trying to gather material to impress some industry reps come late April, they’ve given us animation grads these online portfolio thingies to put our stuff on. I’ve uploaded a couple things from the website as well as finalized stuff from my film. Some old, some new, but I’m sure some of you will be pleasantly surprised.

Check it out here [but please ignore the awkward web design they came up with ;)]

Right now I’m crashing and burning all over the animation table as usual trying to finish this thing. I’m definitely writing a post-mortem entry on this 1 min short as soon as I’m done. Till then, I’ll try to stay alive.

Happy holidays :D!

“On the last day of Christmas, my father gave to me….
A BRAND NEW INTUOS 3~!!!!!!”

Ah… I could just cry…..

Now all I need is a new external HD to back up the crap on my old PC before it explodes/dies on me.

Gallery preview thumbs added.

Ok, so I took hakubaikou’s suggestion for thumbs and found this really nifty script called HOVERBOX.

By far it’s tons better than other scripts I’ve seen in the sense that I don’t have to handle craploads of files or dive into some php like a preening monkey with no idea where to groom. [Ahem.]

After a couple of test tweaks and format changes, it’s running well enough on both Firefox and IE. The only diff between the two so far is that you can’t seem to click on the lil preview image to see the full-view in IE like you can with Firefox. Just gotta click the lil orange box and all that.

Yeesh, I can already feel one of my coworkers looming over me for being a total minimalist freak with all them small ass image links to save space.

Server move.

If anyone so happens to see anything all screwy or images missing from the gallery on my site, lemme know right here!

Just so some of you know, the previous server decided to put some of its little tenants on a new one, and a crappy one at that according to a friend of mine.

Now that he went and grabbed a new dedicated server, I get to move in! So right now I’m just uploading stuff here, and wracking my brains trying to find a darned rss feed of my blog at the old place, with little to no success.

Chances are, I’ll have to start from scratch…. Note to self, save feeds often.

;_;…… AGARAGHAGHAGHAGHAGH~!!!!!

Once the whole animation shebang is over, I’ll repost my concept stuff along with the draft story reels and all that -_-.
