Absent

So alot has been going on and that is why I haven't been blogging much lately. Aside from moving into a new building at work and getting that place all squared away, animation has really ramped up on or game. So I've been doing a ton of that.

Then there is the fact that my wife and I just found out we were going to be parents again. We are extremely excited. We go in on August 12th to have an ultrasound to try and see if its a boy or a girl. We are extremely excited.

Siggraph is next week. I leave this friday with my wife to head to LA and meet up with a bunch of friends and have a great time. I can't wait to actually get face to face with people I have talked to for the passed few years on the internet. Couple of definates to go to... Alias User Group Meeting, Reel FX van, the show floor, and the CGChar Event. Also while being out there, going to spend August 2nd (Our wedding anniversary) out with my wife for a romantic dinner.

Hope all is well with everyone and if you want to meet up at Siggraph, just shoot me an e-mail.

Young Padawan....

Well, I realized with the help of a good friend how little I know about staging and camera setups for animation shots. It is just something I will need to work on. :) I believe I will work on that this weekend. Or at least try and read up alittle more on it this weekend.

In other news, I was able to purchase "The Illusion of Life" from www.amazon.com. If you don't have it. GO THERE AND GET IT. They have it marked down to $37 new. A drastic change from when I was looking for it about a year ago and could only find it on Ebay and the like for $70. Well I hope everyone has a happy and safe 4th of July. And we are now in the SIGGRAPH month. Only 29 more days before I fly out to LA for a vacation and meet up with all my friends who I've only spoken with in chat rooms. It is going to be a large amount of fun... can't wait.
