Concept art for new animation

So I've been thinking about different ideas I have for the new 11 second club sound clip. This month's sound clip is about two characters. One was a police officer or investigator and the other was a woman who apparently killed her husband.

Anyway these are a couple of concept frames for the animation



If you want to listen to the sound clip you can download it here.

My Mojo!

Well i came across this cool application that actually i've been wanting. This app called Mojo is for Mac and is made by Duesty.

A basic run down of his application, you can add friends to a buddy list just like an instant messenger. But unlike an instant messenger you can view your friends iTunes library. But thats not all! You an even download your friends music straight from their library! As well as they can you.

The cool thing is that it is all free. Although for now it has some minor setbacks. It only has a beta for windows that only works on LAN connections. Also there is a feature where you can subscribe to your friends itunes and see when they add more music, but this is only if you pay for the premium package.

But all around a great and cool app especially if you have multiple computers with itunes on them.

p.s. austin powers has nothing to do with this. sorry.

Fun with my new Wacom!

So I was just messing around on my wacom tablet and wanted to make a cartoon version of myself. Just something little I can use here and there. But as I was starting it, the cartoon turned into a self portrait. So here I made a self portrait.

tell me what you think.

Getting back in the swing of things, kinda

Well, its been a while since i've done anything in the CG world but lately i'm trying to do a little. Since i got my new Wacom tablet i've been doodling and making different things. I made the storyboard below for my next short animation. Also below i made a quick planet. Call if Mars if you'd like. I don't care.

Well i'll get busy

keep you updated.

All new stuff!

So over the past few weeks alot has happened. First of all, me and a friend of mine had a joint Eagle Scout Court of Honor where i got my Eagle Scout Award. Which that all in itself is cool. Then after that i had my 16th birthday. Which again is another big thing.

Well for my Eagle i got a few small gifts and some that meant alot. Then for my birthday i wasnt expecting too much but i got this really nice 6x11 in. Wacom tablet and i got a Macbook! Yes i got a Mac, its surprising. And whats even more surprising is that I'm LOVING it and its a Mac!

So i can now say that i would recommend a Mac to anyone. I had my doubts before but until you actually use one, you dont appreciate how much it is worth.

Business Professional's of America, or how the say it BPA

So, at my high school we have a club locally known as BPA. This club is usually the club where all the computer "geeks" go to but its actually more than that. BPA is a national organization that puts teens into a competition to test them with their business skill (computer stuff like MS Office). But before you can make it to the national level in competition you have to go through both district and state competitions.

This upcoming weekend, aka tomorow, is the district competition for our area of the state of good ole' Indiana. So tomorow i'll have to get up early and jump into my business attire and then go to competition against others students and test my skills with MS Excel and the rest of MS Office.

well, off i go!

Free Cake from Valve!

Come one come all! Get your free piece of cake. Only for a short time valve is giving "FOR FREE" all nvidia users a copy of the game Portal, from the Orange Box. I personally have this game and have played all the way through it. Its a great game and anyone who has nvidia should NOT pass up this opportunity!

Free Air Guitar!

Hmm, who would be stupid enough to fall for this one? Everyone who is anyone remembers jamming out on your very first air guitar to "Freebird" in your t-shirt and briefs. But this my friends, this is different. They are FREE air guitars.

Well although this is a cool sales pitch for the radio station. But still, you know that some dip-stick will walk by and try to pick one up.

Burnt! And Not Over Easy

Wow am I pooped! Today I've had two different really frustrating computer problems come up, and were not my problems either. The first was resetting a wireless router and the second was hooking up a new hard drive in an old computer.

The first was a pain, just because it started out easy but then got harder over time. I reset the router and then could finally access it. But then i had the problem of setting the internet back up. Which took about 2 hours and a long phone call to the tech support. All just to find out that i should have RESTART the stupid computer. That made me feel stupid.

Then the second, I worked to get a new hard drive in this computer. It didn't even work out and the computer just seemed just way too old to handle it. So i ended up screwing up the old hard drive and having no way to fix it. But my last resort is to take it to a computer 'wiz' in a nearby town so he can fix it.
so...

my brain is just fried.....

Sent from the "iTouch"

So I set up an email so that I can post on here from my iPod.
Hopefully this will make posting easier and I will be able to do it
more. This could be a new way to blog, but 'on the fly.'

Call of Duty 4

Call of Duty 4, there's really only one word that can describe this great game. And that is WOW! (and no the the MMO kind) This game is blown me away. I picked it up just before the holidays and have been playing it ever since. It is just incredible.

The developers of this game have really outdone themselves making this one. They've pulled out all the tricks in the industry and really have made this game to its full potential. All the graphics look amazing! Unlike most of the higher end games that have great graphics, this one doesn't get weighed down and becomes sluggish. This one has really surprised me and has offered incredible graphics "without" effecting the gameplay.

If anyone is looking at this game and is questioning themselves if they should buy it, STOP! This by far is one of the best games of the decade! Call of Duty 4 will please both fans of the series and anyone who enjoys realistic war games or just blowing the hell out of things.

definitely buy this if you haven't already.

iTouch

So for the past few years I've seen everyone go around with all their music on their own iPod. Well I really didn't think anything about it until about a few months ago. I just really wanted an iPod. I mean, it really seems logical if you think about it. It has all of your songs, anywhere, anytime. Plus for the past year I've used iTunes for my main media player. So i was already halfway there.

But I was looking at different iPods and their prices when I seen the iPod touch. It seemed even more logical to me, because it had everything the iPhone had along with the iPod. Plus it was about the same price as a normal iPod now-a-days.

So I got my iPod, and got all my music and videos and media on it. Then i got it "jailbroken" so that i could have all the good stuff to put on it. :) Just like the iPhone, my iPod touch now has all the bells and whisles like the email, maps, etc.

I'm pretty happy with the buy. It was definitely worth giving up 160GB for only a mere 16GB.

I can say i love my "new" iPod. :)
