So, I’m working on a paper cut out stop motion animation w/ Xue. You can find some really pretty documentation on her blog
My camera is still defunct, which is why I don’t have any documentation of the above. Looking to buy a new one. I spent a weekend playing around with the new Lumix DMC-LX3. It’s pretty sexy and after playing around with the one in the ER for a few days, I think I want it. Unfortunately it’s sold out. 
I’ve been working hard on a Facebook game for WaterAid America with Scott and Asli. It’s coming along nicely, though of course delayed (as these things often are). We’d hoped to be done by this friday but most likely it’ll be another week before we start any sort of serious user testing and another month before the game is in a state to be released to the slavering masses.
My last summer project is going to be located at maximumcuteness.com. It’s pretty much what it sounds like, but that’s the only hint i’ll give about it ^_^
Also, it’s about high time this website got a new look. I’m definetly tired of this one.

A quick animatic on my upcoming animation + I couldnt figure out how to get this to export without that wierd blurriness.
Also, the images used for the animatic and the two main character designs. They don’t have eyes or mouth for now. I’ll design those later.

Storyboard for a claymation animation to be finished next week. We’re going to try to make sure the development is clearly shown in each shot and we’re thinking of changing the 4th shot to make it way over the top. Sound will play a huge role in this, but we’re going to be short on time so I’m not sure if that will manage to be as polished.

So the idea was to make a flip book. At first I was going to take Ken from street fighter and do his shoryuken finisher. Then I realized that this is a flip book and that the animation is probably only going to last about 6 second. So… brainstoming time.
I let my brain have at it and the logical progression was thus:
Shroyuken = martial arts = punching = the point of impact of a fist on an object = fist to face = face getting blown off by force of punch, leaving a skull = baby-in-a-blender.
So I’m in the process of making a baby-in-a-blender flipbook that will be title’d “Impact.” Sounds good eh?
So I’ve storyboarded and timed it out in my head and I think I’ll do it by hand in pencil. I’ll use a soft pencil to trace out broad outlines, a softer one to fill and color’d pencils for the blood n stuff.
i’ll post the results once i’ve finished it.
