Those who know me know that I am a jack of all trades when it comes to the digital world. I’ve done design, digital photography, web development, systems administration, studied a computer science degree, and I am an all-round technophile.
One thing I never got involved in, and for some reason never wanted to, was animation. The idea of it just made me feel anxious and the fiddly nature just always turned me off. That is, until this week.
For almost the entire weekend I spent all of my time locked in a UTS editing lab with Claire working on animation for her film. Firstly, we make an awesome animation team and her film will be great. Secondly, I absolutely love animation and After Effects after the experience.
I am currently in the process of building Claire’s online showreel and it could very well feature some animation work done by the two of us, which I will happily post a link to it here after it’s up. Congratulations to Claire for an awesome job on her film, which by the way is screening tonight! You’ve done great!
Besides the awesome ecard from someecards.com I sent Ryan for his birthday, I just wanted to publically say happy birthday to my second favourite Jew! Take care champ and we’ll be doing Festivus at my place before you know it!
Peace!
This morning while I was roaming around flickr.com I noticed a few people have started putting an interesting spin on their photoblogging experience by starting a “photo a day” collection.
“Bonus,” I exclaim as a tiny speck of coffee hits my monitor. Don’t worry, it’s a work computer. “I’ve got a digital camera and two phones, all capable of taking photo thingymabobs, I’m gonna do that!”
So, as of today begins the photo-a-day experiment. 365 photos over 365 days, beginning today. The photo-a-day experiment will be a flickr.com photoset, a tumblr blog and a weekly digest posted to bananas on toast (to save clutter).
There will be photos of me, coffee cups, the occasional small person and some kielbasa sausage. There will be photos of people, places, somethings and nothings. So keep checkin’!
Absolute twat destroys MacBook Air. This would be amusing if it wasn’t so ridiculous and obviously a marketing stunt. Two words: grow up.
