Back in the saddle

Saturday, August 21st, 2010

After two weeks in Wales I’ve been back a week and now am ready to start doing what I do best. Start projects and never finish them!

Zbrush 4 is now out and installed. Not touched beyond firing it up.
Mass Effect has been started. May never finish due to not getting much time on it.
Started writing some new pages on here about the roleplay/boardgames we play at home. May never be happy with descriptions.

All other projects are also ongoing.

I’ve spent the last week learning some new wordpress stuff though. A few quick hits here and there but I’ve had too much on the plate after the holiday to be able to do much more.

For some reason my blog site has lost all the image I have uploaded in the last month.

I shall investe tonight but in the meantime I need to look at some pictures of LOLcats to try and calm down.

Looks like i need to update my 404 page as well :(

N.Y.S.S.

Sunday, January 10th, 2010

I should have made some damn list to celebrate the new year. Either to top ten my best moments of last year of my list of new years resolutions but I don’t remember what happened last year and i’m not stupid enough to make promises i’m not going to keep.
Make a new film, lose weight, have unprotected sex with a dead goat… all of these are not going to happen (well maybe the first two)
Instead i’ve joined twitter (god help me) and I’ve opened up the mechanicus files and even now have the axe model sitting in bodypaint being textured. Two impossible things before the end of January. I think 2010 is to be the year of randomness.

I’m going to be very egotistical on this post and I’m going to compare myself to Monty Python. Or to be more accurate, the way they ended the sketches on the series. So pull up a comfy chair and make sure the stuffing is all up one end of the cushion.

I have never said i’m a good writer. I come up with daft ideas for short animations or short films, 99% of which don’t get made. Why? Because I can’t find an ending for them.

There is a small nugget of my brain which remembers a bit from a documentary about the Python team (could have been Parrot sketch not included but i could be wrong) which had a section about how they couldn’t finish the sketches so came up with stuff to end them like dropping 16 ton weights on people or, in the case of one of my fave sketches, having the audience mob the scene (the undertakers sketch with the immortal line “Look, tell you what, we’ll eat her, if you feel a bit guilty about it after, we can dig a grave and you can throw up in it.”)

So I now have half a dozen ideas for mini clips to test parts of c4d and even a five minute video for a music track only i don’t want to just cut at the end or fade out… boooorrrriiing. I want to actually tell a story. The main ending i come up with everytime is the camera gets smashed in some way, either melted by acid spat from a gelatinous blob on a table, stood on by a 20 ft tall robot, smashed by a science experiment gone wrong or by a 5 ft tounge firing out of a mouth. I just can’t find a way to end these thing without the camera getting trashed and this is my variation of the 16 ton dropped from off screen but this may just be a weak excuse on my part to not actually get my finger out and make them.

Of course none of these compare to the one which ends with me dressed as Napoleon riding a toy horse down the middle of Christchurch park…

Enemy territory

I took a drive out to Claydon today to visit the Activities Unlimited offices at Hillview business park to talk about the website data held on their…. oh who cares what it was about. Point is I was back in Claydon just over a year to the day I was given my notice at AWC.
