Relaxing.

Yes. The mind and body need some rest. Especially after a hectic show schedule. I'm still recuperating, hence the lack of informative updates over the past week or so. Not much is going on, just yet. There are a couple Academy screeners coming up this year, but nothing I want to check out just yet. Spending most of my waking hours either here on the computer checking up on VFXTalk and CGTalk posts, or on the XBox playing Geometry Wars and COD4 Multiplayer. A couple of days last week I went outside, to enjoy the sun, as it was a fairly hot 85-90 degrees down here in Santa Monica. This week is much more temperate, running around 65.

If you didn't know, VFXTalk has had an IRC channel up and running for a while now. It started a long time ago, but many of us just don't have time to hang out in there and answer questions and so forth. If you want to pop in, grab an IRC client and join us over on Freenode! Point your IRC client to a local Freenode server and get into the #VFXTalk channel.

Later this year I'll be redoing my demo reel.. Why? Oh, just because. I like to keep it up to date with the latest stuff, and it's been a couple years since I put my newest stuff on. Since Pirates 3 comes out on DVD in early December, I'll get a chance to get some footage there and put some cool stuff together, along with Flags and Letters. It'll probably be the same length, a couple of minutes or so. It's a good excuse to cut some cool stuff together to music, and show it to friends and family and tell them that this is what I do, and then try to explain what a compositor does.
