it's picatso

today: i have to go to work.

and later i *get* to transcode hours and hours of video for an editing project.

and buy more textbooks.

welcome back to real life everybody!

[i wish cats looked like that in real life.

i think there's a picatso children's book in the making...]

and the time lapse

chalk chalk chalk.

you may have already seen it on clay's blog. if not, here it is.

we're hoping to make some more of these. it was a lot of fun.

and i have to say, free-handing that "you" is one of my greatest life accomplishments thus far.

as we were making it, we were thinking it could be dedicated to people who actually read our blogs. we love you all.

and shout out to clay - it was his birthday yesterday. cool kid.

(and it's my half-birthday today. woooo!)

we did some chalking

clay and i kind of just made up the design on the fly, and it turned out pretty cool.

a timelapse is in the works.

i spent most of my weekend locked in my room drawing this:

i have always loved the credits on tangled, and i thought it looked doable. so here it is.

it's my first real animation! hand drew it all in photoshop with my art tablet, animated it in motion, and put it together in final cut. it's kinda supposed to be rapunzel and flynn...

but really, it's me and zachary levi.

books i will read this summer:

water for elephants

never let me go

harry potter 7 again (before july 15th. eeeep!)

fantastic mr. fox

and maybe:

all the pretty horses

atonement

hey... those have all been made into movies.

they all seem like good books too, sue me.

guess what

I made another video. And I'll be posting it here on Friday.

And I wore my cool headphones while I made it. See?

Well, you see guys, I make videos a lot. I've been making them a lot. For 4 or 5 years now.

But it just recently dawned on me that I should be sharing them. Hence the new vimeo channel I created last month.

I love it. I think film making will be my career.

So.. you can be expecting more videos from me in the near future.

Every Friday actually. I'm calling it Video Viernes.

Viernes means Friday in Spanish.
