Late Night Brooding.

So yet another late night under the pulsating glow of my computer...
So what's going on? I missed my first class back from break...Turns out the class was delayed for a lecture by Dave Masters from ACME. What's worse is even after the fact I still did not go. Really should have, but I have the programs at home, but yet another assignment being pushed aside. Not to mention this rig is getting close to finished, but still so far away.
Gave the script to Jay to read, not sure I agree with some story points, but we'll talk. What was more important was the breakdowns and logistics he brought to the table, with a team like this not only will it be made, but it will be made smart, and for the cheapest I can get. With the illumination that I may not need $600 insurance, it means more for other departments. If I can get this made, and get it out their than I have something to show for once, something to say. That I ACTUALLY have some proof of skill in this industry, lets hope I don't fuck it up.
I'm really going to pour myself into this one, and get to writing more for myself. I feel I used to have a sense of structure and storytelling on paper a long time ago, I've just put so much of that behind me in these last months, hell maybe even year. I'm realizing more and more of who I was when I yearned to go to film school and create, and who I became when I "was a film student." I've been so caught up in making sure I become what I set out to do, that I forgot you have to actually do it at some point.
So here I am again ranting about filmmaking and while staring down my T-Posed Linguini wondering what the fuck I'm doing. How long can I straddle these mediums before I end up flat on my face...Only time will tell.

Well revisions have been done, and it's shaping up to look like a" pretty funny flick if I don't fuck it up." in the words of mister Kevin Smith. Anyways I'm guessing the next stage to look into is producing this fucker, a budget would help and getting Mrs. Michelle Kennedy to greenlight it at my lovely little Film School. I need to start a pitch package...
Anyways the night is young and my character rig is knocking at my door again...God sometimes I wonder what I'm really doing working on getting a Live Action Script greenlit when I have a 3D model for my Digital Arts class collecting dust. Am I trying to be a Jack of All Trades, a master of nothing? Or am I just misdirected in my interests and my area of study? Only time will tell...Did I mention I was drafting an outline for a Video Game Design? haha....I'm fucked.

Shovelove

So... a long time ago in a Backroom many years...in the past, there was this reading for a script that unfortunately never made it to the celluloid. Quite frankly the film fell flat it's face by poor planning(No pointing fingers), and I'm actually glad it did not get made because now, We're making it better. Thanks for the vastly improved writing chops of my bud Dan @millsmusicman, I have in my hands a script that is feasiable, and not to mention damn good. With a little snip here and there I think I may be ready to throw this puppy into production soon.
And by soon I mean this summer, mid July maybe? Anyways, I will use this blog as a Production Blog for the next couple of months for Shovelove! So keep tuned in, y'all...and by that I mean...no one. YET!

My Blog goes Live!

So here it is, my first entry.

Today I started working on my rig again for my Intermediate Maya course.
I modeled the character earlier this semester and moved onto the character rig. Finished up the skeleton and moved onto the controls...
I will admit, I have grown a fine appreciation for Riggers...This shit is HARD. I enjoy the animating a lot more...But hey, you have to know a little of everything nowadays...
