Back to work... :(
-
11 Jul 2006finally started back to work today. i was off for about 2 months, and it was so wonderful and amazing! i went to Phoenix AZ and Pittsburgh PA, read 4 books, saw every movie i wanted to, sat by the pool in my apartment every weekend and threw kids in, finished my short film and started submitting it to festivals, finished helping someone on a Star Wars fanfilm (a friend of a friend - i couldn't say no!), went to disneyland and built the biggest best pillow fort ever for a friends birthday, went for a ride into low earth orbit on an experimental Russian relaunchable rocket module that also allowed all of us to experience weightlessness naked, bought lots of DVD's and cds, cleaned alot, got 2 haircuts, etc... anyway, you get the idea. i was having tons of fun! but, as of today, i'm back at work. long commutes, LA traffic, new changes in the pipeline, blah blah blah...
oh, and i'm just kidding about the Russian rocket. -
11 Jul 2006That's funny!!
I started today too!:D I was off for a few months... didn't do half as much as you did though!!! sounds like you had a blast:D
Where do you work??? and how big was your fort????
Oh, and are you gonna share your film?? -
11 Jul 2006i work here: http://www.rhythm.com/film/index.shtml
the pillow fort was huge. myself and 2 friends did it for a girl we know. for years now, we've been joking around about having a sleepover party and building pillow forts like we all did when we were young. it was her birthday, so we rented a hotel room for 2 nights, and the first night just us guys went and set up the fort, and surprised her with it the next day after a whole bunch of us went to disneyland. we used 2 mattresses, 2 box springs, every blanket in the hotel room, and we all brought pillow and cushions from home. it was amazing!! we had lights in it, a Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch) bubble blower, party streamers... it had 3 different rooms, but when you first opened the door to the hotel room, all you see is blankets hanging and a tunnel entrance. it was perfect!! and we made a little video for her, sort of like an 3 minute biography about her, but we made it funny and put in lots of in-jokes!
and I will share my film as soon as I can. I'm entering it in as many film festivals as I can, and presenting it online may disqualify me from entering some, so i'm holding off of putting it online for now. it turned out really cool, or else i wouldn't be stupid enough to try to get it out there in the world. and i think it's really different from anything else out there today. my website has a trailer for it, but it's not that spectacular of a trailer. it has ZERO effects, and took me about 15 minutes to crank out, but i just wanted something up since i bought the website and all.
how's your work going so far? mine's kinda slow. -
11 Jul 2006Ahh man, now i have to build one:D sounds like you had a wicked time there!
Work, well, i've got work till december, and if nothing else pops up then,... I get more work on another show t'ill december 2007
As of now, not too hectic yet... but i give it about... one more day, and then the levey breaks. TV animation asks for a long hard push that keeps pushing back...

13 Jul 2006LA traffic SUCKS!!
if the highway was clear, it would take me 20 minutes to get to work. this morning it took about 1 hour 45 minutes.
and NO ONE in southern california knows how to merge lanes. period.
