Coffee Kina Make Me Nervous
Wow okay so it's almost been a month since my last update! sorry about that to whoever actually reads this thing if anyone does. But I have been very active this last month what with school and actually having a little bit of a life :D. I met a nice gal on an internet dating site and we have been on 2 dates now and a third coming up this Saturday and so far we have meshed really well.
In school I have been working on a lip sync Dialogue from Slingblade. This clip is week 2 submission out of a 4 week process.

I am writing this in the left over portion of my Projects class and today I had a presentation of my final animation and it actually went over pretty well. I have a few minor changes to make but nothing that would take me any more than an hour or two to fix. Now all I have left to do is get my environment back to where I had it last semester, polish some of the camera angles, and create 2 sets of lighting for the character and for my two environments.

And in other news this week I just blew a lot of cash last night ahhhh! O.o I bought my first laptop last night and as soon as i checked out i was like OMG what the hell did i just do! because i feel really guilty spending that much money that isn't really mine. But now that I have slept on it I feel better about the decision. I also calculated it out and figured that it was the same amount i would have spent if i had spent 10 dollers a week on eating out/coffee since moving to seattle. So i figure a laptop is a little better than some coffee and a stomech ache from the cafine. The laptop I got was a smokin deal though for what I got and I got a great package deal for a fan cooler station for it aswell. I am really happy that ill be able to actually have consistantly working tablet drivers and now always be able to use my nice tablet with the programes that I want and also have the ability to do it in more places than just home since im only really there for sleeping and eating lol. anyways here is a link to the unit I got

Stevens Company is continually looking more and more promising. He recently finished ManaGen his first game under the Algitt studios name and now he is compiling a presentation of everyones work that he has asked to work for him in preperation for the persuit of getting his company a publisher which is actually looking pretty likly especially considering the main company that he is going for only invests in start up game companies.
For individual projects I am still working on arthas once i stop being lazy and ask will for his camera ill get the pictures that I have of him so far up and on here. His entire body is done and now all I have left to do is his sword Frostmorne and His helmet which are the two most important parts of his entire costume so I still have a lot of work to do to really make this thing look nice. I also still have to cut a hole in his head so i can get the lights inside of his head. I set up the circuit for the button activated LED lights and all the flippin switches that I got from Radio shack were broken :/ they completed the circuit just fine so I know I was doing it right but when I pressed the button it never cut the circuit off :X so I still have to go back to radio shack and pick up some more switches.
but thats all for this week :D

Anticipation Galor
So it's Monday February 9th and the anticipation is building. One of my friends was nice enough to share some commonly asked questions in interviews with me so now I'm at least a little prepared for a phone interview.
In other news I have been watching this History channel series called the universe and there was an episode about a giant meteor that has a chance at hitting the earth sometime around 2012. So i had a really horrifying dream last night where there was this meteor that was crashing onto the earths atmosphere. Imagine holding a football in your hands then think of a giant rock that size in the sky trailed with blue flames rumbling the ground underneath you and you can feel the gravitational force pulling you away from earth at the same time. It was scary and awesome!
lets see in art this week I kinda rediscovered painter and how amazing the brushes are in it and I started working on some concept for a side project that I am working on. here is what I have so far.
this week Jenky and I both got our Munny's and are going to start their creation soon. I got a 4" one and both of us got a 7" one. Jenky is Doing Illidan and I am doing Arthas. If you dont know
what it is that im talking about Ill show you.
Imagine the two mixed and you got the idea of what im making. I even went to radio shack and learned how to make Button activated LED lights for his eyes. Ill post pictures once I start on it and when I am finished
