Hey, I know i've posted a lot about my film "I live in the Woods" on this blog... but there's more news about it. I now have a page on my website for the film. It has all kinds of cool stuff, including a bunch of "making of" pictures with descriptions. FUN!

Also, here is a video I put together of time-lapse footage I shot of myself animating while making the film.

Engine Room... final episode.

Well, here is the final episode of Engine Room. I've been a little late with posting it... check it out, though.



Appearances by folks like Kevin Smith and Moby. An entertaining episode, and see who won the major dollars! Below is part of my team's final challenge, although we also included print, websites, and some "acting" in our final presentation. Some of this is shown in the full episode. Also, go to the official site here to see some pretty funny bonus footage, including Kevin Smith making fun of someone on the Latin American team.

Engine Room episode 6! TATTOO!

Hey, here's is Engine Room episode 6... a tattoo challenge!

This one was so crazy. We had to design a tattoo for a (super cool) guy... in less than a day's work. Totally nutso, it was. Check it owwwttt below... Or bigger version at the official site here.



The Latin America' tattoo "victim" totally hated his tattoo, too. That was... interesting. Seriously, watch the episode, it's pretty funny. Here's a preview of that.


And alas, more bonus scenes in the tattoo shop. Our tattoo artist was a quiet, but funny guy.


Just got back from the Austin Film Festival in Texas. Austin, what a crazy place! Pretty much the biggest parties I've ever seen, happen every weekend there. In the festival, I saw...

Episode 5: STOPMOTION CHALLENGE!

That's right, Episode 5 of Engine Room is a stopmotion challenge! It was fun. Check it out below or here.



Here's the complete film that my team made.


It's weirder than I even remember! Eh, what can I say.

Here's Bonus footage that shows some funny things including me making sound effects.


This was a crazy experience! We made it super fast. And I was the only one on my team with stopmotion or even storytelling experience, so... I dunno, take a look!

Soon I will do a post on the extreme blandness of movie billboards I have been noticing recently. Just because!
