The DVI Group

Lots of things have been going on for me lately, to where it took me away from blogging. Things are now settling, so I am getting back into the swing of things.

As of late, I am now doing awesome stuff for The DVI Group in Midtown. They create videos for clients, no matter if it's live action or animation. They do amazing stuff, and they inspire me to do the same!

Check out their trailer for their upcoming project, Audio 911:

Trust me, when it hits, it's going to explode! :) I can't wait to see people's reactions for this!

Epipheo Quick Hack

I recently completed an animation test for Epipheo. It's called Quick Hack. They provided me the script, and I went to town with the motion, editing, and voice over. Yup, that's me voicing this video! :D

Take a look, and enjoy! :)

Steve Jobs (Thank You)

I was stunned to hear of Steve Jobs' resignation yesterday, like everyone else. Not only was he an inventor, speaker, and creative, but he was also inspiring, captivating, and enjoyed what he does.

I'm sad to hear the news of him resigning, but I am proud of his accomplishments and drive. Thank you Steve Jobs, for all you have done (writing this from my MacBook). :)

Hayao Miyazaki on CNN

Watching Hayao Miyazaki talk about his work and his company's business is very inspiring. It's inspiring me to want to create my own animation studio, creating animations for clients and for audiences alike. :)

Inking Me and My Kitty

I was requested to record how I ink illustrations/comics. Here's the video, enjoy! :)

Patrick Stewart on Animation

I was able to see this on CNN.com Video today, and I really appreciated what Patrick Stewart had to say. I couldn't have agreed more with his thoughts.

Animation has always been an interest of mine, in every aspect of filmmaking. Drawing, music, writing, characters, direction, editing, acting. All of it. It's a huge challenge, very time consuming, and a lot of work. But it's amazing when it comes to full circle of the time spent on the projects. :)

I'll be there soon, animating, directing, writing, drawing, and acting. :) Editing too if need be (I'll leave the music to the better people lol).

Sketchbook

It's been a full month since leaving Georgia to find a start up here in the North. A full month where I did not have a sketchbook on hand for drawing different objects. Until now:

Trying to get better at drawing females, I never seem to get it right off the bat. Anyhoo, I also got Character Animation Crash Course by Eric Goldberg, the amazing animator that overlooked famous Disney characters (Genie from Aladdin, Phil from Hercules). I'm going to push my understanding of animation while I'm up here, and learn what's it like to be an animator. I'm more of a cartoonist than anything, but I'm gonna take the chance to become an animator. :)
