Some stuff I've been working on at Paranoid US in Culver city, for those of you wondering what I've been doing for the past few months. No I didn't fall off the face of the earth but this blog is suffering from severe neglect. some rabbi vis dev for an upcoming short film to be directed/produced by Paranoid.
I like my men to be svelte. Also this is for Mike Mitchell, my first life drawing teacher in college who has influenced and helped me to become the artist I am now. He has passed away on 09/06/2009 at the ripe age of 89 after a long, illustrious life. Rest in peace, Mike.
I was the first one up they talked to. Congrats to everyone who got callbacks from companies too. This makes all the hard work I did this year on my film kind of worth it. Now I can look back and smile a little. But its still early to celebrate cuz this doesn't mean I get an internship...even though the interview with them went well. So cross your fingers and pray for me, everyone!! A JOB!!!
In other news I updated my portfolio with new goodies from my film this year so be sure to stop by! Thanks!
And just for kicks this video is why I need to move my ass out of LA and to somewhere like London...cuz shit like this doesn't happen here. ever.
The Annecy film that I worked on last year at Gobelins in France, "WildCasting", and my storyboards for the film are featured on the French blog site Weecast.fr. Go take a look!
Yeah. Like I'm gonna pull my hair out or blow up. It's crunch time and I can't wait for it all to end. Animation is a friggin' long, grueling, painstaking, patience-testing process. I feel like I'm running in place sometimes. And only a month til the deadline...
I just finished applying to W+K12 and mailed in my work on Wednesday...only to find out the deadline was extended, goddamnitt!! My 8.5"x11" portfolio didn't fit in a 9x12 envelope so I had to send it in a slightly larger one...I really hope they still accept it. Anyways here is the fruit of my labors:
CalArts grad 2009. Studied abroad at Gobelins L'école de l'image, Paris in 2008. Did concept design at Mirch Animation 2009. Currently working at Parnoid US.
