wheeeeee

hello people of the world.

i'm alive. and well. i think. somehow still kicking and breathing.
i take it as a good sign. everyday's a blessing. stop and smell the roses. what nots.

i've been so busy with animation lately it's godawful crazy. it's been a crazy ride thus far and its getting crazier. my current project is the US-only famous veggie tale, the vegetable-talking-bible-thumping-goodie-2-shoe vegetables...

picture... a bunch of blob objects shape tomatoe, cucumber, gourd, asparagus and what nots, in an colourful animation caricature of real human stories. sounds easy to animate rite?

WRONG.

whenevr i get a new shot, i had to crack my skull open and poke my brains to figure out the best way to convey recognizable, fathomable, comprehensible, understandable, chickedee-ness, expression, movement and acting choice without HANDS AND LEGS and a proper face.

however there is a bonus feature to this wild ride. james chiang, who work for animationmentor.com currently as a widely sought after tutor, animator at bluesky, sony and lucas, is currently the animation director @ my company for 3 months. all i can say is OMFGBBQAFKWTFPWNED!!!!!!

he taught me hell lot so far and i'm soooooooo soo soo soooo lucky X 1000 for someone with his calibre to be even here @ a lowly animation company. but then again i know how far still i have to work to even have half of his skill.

some people are just born with talent. some only have their passion and heart that hopefully can carry them to reach the moon, altho what they want is stars, but that's okay.

i'm still not sure which one i am yet. one day i'll know.

but for now,

here's a mantra that i always say,
may everyone be well and happy.


cheers
