Almost back to animating

Well, I have almost finished the computer transition of changing hardware. Why it took this long ? Well I can’t finish it as I had to order another part due to configuration of my hardware. When that arrives I will be back in business and I can finally put something on my blog to showcase and I hope to start my career (freelance) off as a animator starting 2008 (it is an exciting year for me, because of that)

Also my web page is under going a renovation, not realizing that people were not able to view my current one which is still online, at walkfar media I knew something had to be done. How else can I get work if no one can see my work in a nice personal presentation like a web page.

Well, that is it for today.
bye for now.

Making Progress – Other animators I’d like to share
Posted in CreativeInfo | Comments Off on Making Progress – Other animators I’d like to share

Well, I am making some progress with my computer, their are some things I still have to trouble shoot and so forth but I am making some progress. This is a short entry but if you ever seen animated shorts usually :15 minutes on “Tree House” in Canada quite colourful. Visit the web page of the creator and take a look at it you’ll remember 🙂

Changing the computer
Posted in CreativeInfo | Comments Off on Changing the computer

Well, I am altering my hardware, move hardware around and so forth. What a job this is, I’m writting this on a computer which will be “altered” but I have to have something to access the net, and write on my blog etc for now and for any trouble shooting that may occur. This stuff is just so frusterating I’ll be glad when it’s all over and working, and I can get back to animating, even though it’s only been 3 days of preparing for the worse then one day of having everything apart.

Now, once this is all done that is when you will see my previews and my project will get finished before Xmas (it’s been a rough month with most of it animating and now this changing my computer hardware. Is it a pain in the fudge, YES but in order to work more better you sometimes gotta do it. That is the whole legacy of computers (PC), mac users it may be different I wouldn’t know other then I know that OSX is a superb OS and I wish apple would make a version for PC to compete with Windows but who knows when and if that ever happens (unless Mr.Jobs is reading this)

Bye for now

Argh problem
Posted in CreativeInfo | Comments Off on Argh problem

I’ve been working fine for the past several weeks on a portion of my animation and a road block has been hit, rather it was a problem I realized the other night. Hopefully the technique I plan to do to fix it will work and if it does it will save me ALOT of time fixing it.

In the mean time this is “sexy robot” one of the few first computer animated commercial which was made back in Jan 20, 1984 at that time was the gradual evolution of computer animation. As we know animation in general has been around for centuries. Great commercial for the time, and IMO (in my opinion) still would be to this day

Almost done

Oh my gosh, over 4 months of work minus 1 month of almost redoing a huge chunk of this animation and alot of effort put it. I am almost finishing this animation I am working on, slowly I will start to release sneak peaks of it soon. I know, I should have released sneak peaks weeks ago. You may be thinking what is the deal, Christopher common. Animation is work people and I spend alot of time on it then I give myself breaks work on other stuff then go back at it again. As you all know I’m not a huge blogger but your average blogger and at the end of this message\post whatever you want to call it I want to share some sites of drawings and such done by other talented people on the net, I hope they link up my blog 🙂 Anyhow if you havn’t visit my web page at www.walkfar.ca you should some of my past work is on there, and I will be changing my site, my goal is before christmas as one person I hope I meet it. My blogging post have really stunk the past two months, lazyness that what it is, I’ve got to get on some schedule or something very,very soon.

Fudge Factory Comics, I LOVE this guys drawings I hope to draw like that soon as I am practicing my drawing as we speak (we are speaking ???, I mean as of this date) 🙂

Popcorn poping at 5400 frame per second, it looks like a … watch it really neat makes me want to eat popcorn

I wanted to also add, I’m really fed up of that iPod 1,2,3,4 song. Like common I don’t think it’s a good song it sucks and now I’m hearing it in the grocery stores OH HELP ME. Help me even more when someone in the store is singing it OH THE TORTURE.

Bye for now!

Long time and back
Posted in CreativeInfo | Comments Off on Long time and back

I know it has been a month since my last post, I have been busy animating and taking care of a few other things. Time sure does go fast. Not to fear from this point forward my blog will be constantly updated on a regular basis, from new animation clips I want to show to animation links and as always I do throw in some interesting links I come across on the web to share.

For the longest time I have been talking about this animation I am working on but not even a sneak peak of what, I’m doing. I do plan on having something to show very (and I mean, very) soon. So have a little more patience it’s going to happen 😉 Until my next post, here are some links I want to share with you…

Histogram Photoshop tutorial
This is a photoshop trick for those of you who know what the histogram is, you can put a image of (in this case) a city in it, pretty neat take a look.

Web Traffic
I am in need to figure out how to get more traffic to my blog and web page, and this page has some terrific ideas.

Business Cards (What mine would say if it could talk !)
Posted in CreativeInfo | Comments Off on Business Cards (What mine would say if it could talk !)

Business cards, they are everywhere no matter if you go to the doctors office or to a print shop you find them, pretty sitting there alone in the business card holder. I like to imagine if business cards could talk what they would say to us as we stare at a bunch of business cards while we lean over a counter or desk talking to the other person. I know some business cards from a dentist would say, “PICK ME UP your teeth may thank you one day” or maybe you pick up a business card from a tatooo parlour in that sense it a very rough voice it may say to you, “Hey buddy, you know that wild side inside of you just may want to have a snake or a skull on your arm or back next time\one day. I like to give personality to everything, and business cards are no exception, I’ve seen business cards that if could talk would feel like a disgrace because how they were designed, while others so colourful and bright you’d think the card stand needs sand and palm trees around it.

My business business card would shout like a kid in a play ground, “Hi, I have lots of creative ideas, and just look at me, I’m colourful and playful you can use me for many things, you can contact the number on the card to get my services or use me for cleaning a chunk of food out of your teeth, or you need to apply something on your face if I’m glossy you have a semi-reflective surface to look at your oh so pretty\handsome face. You were chewing some gum and decided to be a big kid for a minute and blow a huge bubble only for it to pop on your face, use me as a scrapper to scrap the gum off your face, or maybe you just want to stick me in with your other dozens of business cards and forget about me forever…
