Animal Models

Keren Albala did a spectacular job modeling my robot stuffed animal hybrids. She really captured the spirit of my drawings and brought them from 2D into a 3D world. Kudos!

At the moment, Will Meyer is working away at rigging my characters. I cant wait to see how they turn out!

Kazoo Choir

Here is a production still of the amazing choir of the First Baptist Church of Downey playing Victoria's Theme. I never knew that kazoos could sound so good.

Run to Grandpa

Unfortunately, Victoria has a old football injury which resulted in a limp.

Outdoor Scenery

the previous shot to the last post.

from vision to reality (virtual)

Here is an empty animal enclosure. This will be the second shot and will have a tumbling tumbleweed floating through the barren animal-less space. I am staying fairly close to my original drawings, the shot below is from my animatic.

Second Semester Schedule

This semester I have decided to treat my thesis project as a job. I have fallen by the wayside a bit, but by treating thesis as a 9 to 5 (or in this case 10 to 10) I feel that will keep me on the right track. As long as I stay to the work/time schedule, I will get a good amount of work done and not feel burdened by the immense load.
