Back to roots

Cute and original short video that a student did for character design. It took me a while to find a video that I liked, I guess I was just picky today.

I want to get this blog back to its roots and do more art and indie posts. I’m going to try and do that more now that I’m out of school. At least that way I still have a creative outlet.

ps I’m not sure if the vendredi vimeo is going to work with this lay out, maybe I can come up with a better solution.

Graduation and Moving

I finished up my last final EVER yesterday! It feels like my birthday, I don’t feel older, but I know I am older. Of course I’m excited, but I feel like nothing has changed. I feel like I haven’t done enough work to get a degree. Silly of me, huh?

I did want to show you my last project for graphic design class. This was my first attempt to using flash. The class had the option to use either photoshop or flash to animate at 15 second animation. I gave photoshop a chance since it looked easier to use but the tweening was crappy and the animation as a whole was choppy.  I learned flash in an evening watching video tutorial on youtube. I was much happier with flash it ran much smoother. Converting it it gif was another problem on its own.

So what is going to happen after I graduate? Tim and I are moving back back to Visalia. Some people here (SJ) don’t understand why we are moving back to what they believe is a middle of nowhere town. But to us its not a middle of nowhere town. We have our family and support system there; it is so much cheaper and we able to afford the living coasts; we have connections to help us find the jobs we need; and it is home to us. I believe that we will be so much happier once we move back and start over in a different place.

We found a cute apartment that is a triplex that looks like house. Its secluded and quite, which its the noise that bothers us the most in San Jose. It has  a dishwasher, central air, back yard, and hook up for a washer and dryer. There are two bedrooms, a large kitchen and living room. We couldn’t be more excited to move to a bigger and better place for over 25% less in costs.

Right now I have to worry about getting everything packed and organized in a small space. I had to give up my desk for 2 weeks to make room for boxes. I need to get everything organized for this upcoming weekend with graduation ceremony and Fanime. And finally making sure we have everything in place and ready to go when we move in the beginning of June.

Gotta love Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’?

If you haven’t watched Hey Ash, Whatcha Playin’? yet, you must watch them now! They are funny, especially if you watch them all together consecutively. This one happens to be my personal favorite because of my love for Joss Whedon’s brilliant mind and making awesome tv/internet shows. On that note boooooo Fox for not continuing Dollhouse! I think I might boycott them for canceling Firefly and Dollhouse.
