WEEKEND UPDATE

SATURDAY:
Played video games, cleaned the house

SUNDAY:
Helped a friend around his house. It's a two man job and since his wife is pregnant he asked if I could help. I gladly agreed. Elysha came too, so "the men" moved the big, heavy furniture and "the women" packed the miscellaneous items and moved some of the smaller furniture. We also ( Read more... )

I had a good weekend! It started off great because on Saturday, like most Saturdays, I participated in an archery class and every class ends in a "balloon round," where inflated balloons containing 1 Dollar Bills are attached to the hay bales.

Another nice place to hike in Los Angeles is Runyon Canyon, located a little west of Graumann's Theater, off of Hollywood Blvd. The hike is a winding dirt road in a "U" shape that gives a nice view of West Hollywood.

Along with the rest of the studio, I flew up to San Francisco, caught a bus, and drove out north. I didn't know what to expect and was still surprised.  ( Read more... )

Originally I was slated to be finished with post work for Robot Chicken Star Wars by the beginning of December, and then not needed again until the beginning of January. So, I had made plans to come home to Norfolk, VA to visit my family for a very generous vacation of ~3 weeks (I wish I could request this much time off!). That being said maybe the ( Read more... )

Last year I helped a random person on Facebook make an Indiana Jones fan-film. It was shot in the rural parts of the Malibu Hills. It turned out to be dense forest and did make for a pretty good location.

I took a trip to DC for July 4th two years ago to visit my girlfriend, who was an intern with a DC-based architectural preservation firm at the time. I also got to see my buddy who lives at the capitol and works as an aide to a Congressman.

So I just discovered Photoshop's auto-align and auto-blend features and I've gone a little mad for making panoramas... MAD, I TELL YOU ( Read more... )
