Status Report for January 28, 2008

The past week has been a keyframe-athon of epic proportions.  I’ve got keyframes coming out of my ears for the first ‘Scary Monster’ sequel, and a couple for ‘Evolution’.  The drawings are scattered all around the studio — on the drawing table, computer desk, floor, kitchen, whatever.  I’ve found that the cheapo Blick-housebrand tracing paper works just as well as Canson or Strathmore paper.  The plan is to continue drawing throughout the week, as long as the drawing buzz keeps going, then this weekend I’ll start shooting the drawings, dumping them into Painter, and building composites…

New Year’s resolution update #1:  I stumbled into a local music store to purchase strings for my PRS for the first time in probably four years this weekend.  Let me tell you, fresh strings on a guitar is like waking up in the morning and realizing IT’S THE FIRST DAY OF SUMMER VACATION YAAAYYYYYYY!!!!  Cleaned off the finger grunge, slapped on the new strings, stretched them out, and before you know it my fingers are dancing around the neck making weird spaceship noises (mind you, it was very clumsy dancing, but my fingers didn’t care one stinking bit).  Life is good.  Makes me want to get the drum machine script for POV up and running.  I’m getting ideas…. hmmmm….
