Another year, already!?

Yes, I know, another long delay between postings.

I try, I just get busy. The latest bunch of busy has been all kinds of things. For instance, force learning Blender to get some CGI shots done, as well as doing a bunch of particle illusion work for Jean Claude.

Along the lines of learning blender comes the fun of "doodling" . The partially completed Crow T Robot here is a doodle that will get fleshed out, fixed up, and animated at some point in the not too distant future. I hope.




Other news on the busy list include finishing ALL the molds for The Attic. If you think MY updates are slow you should see the last time the directors blog was updated over there. ZING! Now that this batch of molds is done I get to go back to frothing foam and watching the oven for a few sets of the newly molded appliances as well as a couple backups of others. Nothing too exciting in the way or pictures on this bit of news but keep reading if you like pictures.


The big busy of the last week has been another batch of costume heads. This year's production from Cleveland Signstage is Dr Dolittle, and on the list of fun foam fabrication was a parrot, monkey, a horse, and an African headdress. I just dropped them off today and the cast was excited to see them and get some rehearsal time in with them. I yanked out no more hair than the last few times I've made heads for them, which is an accomplishment as this sort of thing is really not my bag baby, even after my stint making backpacks and a few patterns. It's fun to do, and as far as I've ever heard there are no complaints from the audience. One of these years I will get a chance to see one of their productions. One of these years I will also learn to take better pictures as well. Next time around I hope to be a bit better in Blender and do a little more of the pre-production work in there. I will say that I did a little bit of work on these in there.

In the meantime, it's back to Blender and blank stares are the computer for CGI work before ammonia fumes from the foam runs that need to get done in the next week or so.

As always, feel free to ask any questions you may have.
