I received Adobe’s CS5 Master Collection in the mail today — can’t wait to install it.

This is a “first draft” of a demo reel of some of my stuff (all of which has already appeared on this site). I have a bunch of ideas for improving it — but that requires that I create MORE ARTWORK!
We have to do an animation (hand drawn) transforming three images into one another — morphing, so to speak. I chose a cat, a caterpillar, and a caterpillar bulldozer (three cats) — about 75% complete.
The video ends a little abruptly (I need to BREATH between sentences!), but I was forced to cut it short due to time limitations.
I’m finding that I like playing around with video — although at this point it’s more of a technical exercise rather than a creative one.
Today we had a “quiz” in my WDD251 Multimedia class …
Our instructions were to choose a mood and take five photos that reflected that mood (I picked sad) — and then upload them to Flickr.
We were then supposed to pick a font representative of the mood we had chosen and create a movie poster using that font and one (or more) of our photos.
We also needed to create a 30 second song that reflected that mood.
Finally, we were supposed to post everything to our blog. So, here goes …
The font I picked is Bradley ITC (on the Mac at school).

I spent a few hours ‘tweaking’ the website today. Nothing major — just a few loose ends that I’ve been meaning to clean up.
I also added more drawings to the ‘portfolio’ tab and included a little more information in the ‘about’ tab — still needs work, but it’s getting better.
School is going fine — I like all my classes (for different reasons). We went to the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts to see a ‘Looney Tunes’ exhibit in my Drawing for Animation class. Very cool — you need to see those guys’ work up close to really appreciate how good they were.
