PS. MY VERY COOL FRIEND HAS BEEN LENDING ME
MOVIES AND TV SERIES AND NOW I AM COMPLETELY IN LOVE AND HEARTBROKEN
OVER FIREFLY/SERENITY.
I am a few years too late but as a new convert I mourn the show's passing with a fresh grief.

I didn't get to go to the zoo until this past week, thank goodness it was the day right before the summer weather really hit. The animals were still getting drowsy, though. Some zoo drawings
( behind the cut )
I've also been watching Kung Fu Panda over and over and doodling...
I forgot how fun that movie was :)
Next up, renovate my room! Laptop-less for the next few weeks, most likely. I need to get a new laptop, and I'm torn between a laptop+cintiq combo or a tablet pc...

Trying to get used to my dear old crummy lil tablet again, since the tablet pc will have to go back to its rightful owner soon.
Going to the zoo on Tuesday, yay!

| Up! |
[02 Jun 2009|10:23pm] |
Saw Up this past weekend! Aside from the technical aspect (It was gorgeous, as usual--love the colors!), I thought it was very sweet and heartwarming. It was definitely more "fun" than Pixar's last three outings. I don't know if it's very re-watchable, though. I think The Incredibles was the last Pixar film that I fully enjoyed. Cars, Ratatouille, and Wall-E are wonderful films in their own right, but...hm what's a good analogy...
I feel like the Pixar films up until The Incredibles (except A Bug's Life, definitely my least favorite) were like driving on a smooth, scenic route. The last four films were more like driving uphill. Up seemed more relaxed, but I still like the parts better than the whole. Some particular likes/dislikes: ( Cut for spoilers )

at least according to the free translation machines online.
...c'est un buttprint!
yes, this is the visual representation of all the time I'm spending (and will spend, alas) sitting on the couch, working on my portfolio. Long hours in front of the computer + little activity + tendency to snack= well, not good.

Sorry for all the cruddy animations hahaa. They're all I have right now.
These next few weeks will be a little busy, but hey! school will be over soon and then I can really get sketching. :) The year went by so quickly...I can't wait for summer.

All I have is a bunny.
His ears are not right & the timing is off, but I had to do something a little cheerful. It's my frustration animation! I love tvpaint.
( Plus two 'Meh' doodles )

| Disney Inspire Days |
[28 Mar 2009|10:01pm] |
This past Tuesday I had the chance to attend Disney's annual? Inspire Days event, which is basically an opportunity for students/recent grads to visit the studios, get a portfolio review, listen to panels with professional artists, and take a specialized tour of the feature animation building.
Trying to fix up my portfolio within a week (on top of my internship/regular schoolwork) was kinda stressful, but in the end it was TOTALLY WORTH IT. It was amazing! I felt like a little kid going to...Disneyland, or something. There were so many *giddy* moments that day, with two definite highlights.
Anyway, ( Here was the schedule + my account of the day )
But yesssss....If you ever have the chance to go to one of these events, DO!! I had a great time.
Also, ( Some sketches during the day )

HMMM I've had this journal for a pretty long time, now. I didn't really get it because of my fiery passion for blogging--I just remember that it was pretty darn cool to have an LJ, back when they still had the invite code going on (it made you feel special, ya know). I've been using it as a "sketchjournal" (with shamefully sporadic updates) but I'd really like to do more with it.
Recently I realized how very, very lucky I am to go to a school/have friends through which I can go to neat-o animation events and meet awesome animation people. I always learn a great deal through these experiences, mainly because the pros are so friendly and eager to offer advice. I figure that it might be nice to put my notes/observations from these events here. Who knows? It could be helpful to someone. At the very least it can serve as a personal reference. Most of the time I don't know what to write in here, anyway, so hopefully this will make things more interesting.
