Hundred Dollar Production

My buddy Scott and I just finished a short film using my pd150 and a budget of roughly $100 spent on some shop lights and a green backdrop.  Can't say too much about it now, but it's finished and will hopefully be out in June or July.  In the mean time here is a little look into the making of...

Man stuff.

Ingenuity.

"I think we're gonna need more juice."

Writing.  Directing.  Cinnamontography.

Smooth tracking on a budget.

Bad Kitty

I step away for 1 minute and come back to this every time.  I hope it doesn't void my warranty.  Bad Kitties 4 Life.

Learning to Draw Dogs

Short Story

I'm trying to figure out some sort of art direction for a short animation I've written.  I can't draw for crap, probably because I always hated the sound of pencil on paper.  Painting in Photoshop and the miracle that is cmd-z make all the difference though.  I'm leaning toward this kind of a roughened cut out style for the short.

Indy, Skate Dog

Anyone who knows Indy knows very well that the pup is severely afraid of pretty much everything.  You almost can't even take the poor fellow out in public.  However, I have recently discovered what might be the one thing that truly gets his rocks off.  And that, my friends, would be the lazy sunday bro sessions up at Fort Miley... really, can you blame him?

The pre session chill out.

Running with the wolf pack.

Don't forget to enjoy the view while you're up there.

Full on charge home.

Pool Trade Show February 2010

After over two months of non-stop hustle, Molly and I made it through our second POOL Trade Show with a brand spanking new line of Vivi Dot accessories.  This is a video I put together highlighting some of the new product and fun times we had on our trip.  Thanks to our neighbor Jessica for hooking us up with pictures of our booth when we forgot our camera!
