Quick Review of 'MicMacs'

I started off this saturday morning with the talented Jean Pierre Jeunet's MicMacs (Non-stop shenanigans). You may know this French director from his past films like Foutaises, Delicatessen (the city of lost children), and most likely Amélle. From his choice of color schemes with the high levels of saturation and his use of the color green, Jeunet's latests film MicMacs is yet another creative masterpiece. Most of the time I can tell if I am going to stay invested in a movie from the opening scene. If you enjoy a story that compels you to stay tuned until the very end, MicMacs will met your expectation. If you have the time and can find this film, I would suggest to you that it is worth viewing. (If you have a Netflix account, you can get it by mail.) Feel free to drop by as often as you like. there will be some popcorn waiting for you. Have a great weekend!

Dear Audience,


The video for B. Priest's, "Too Fast," has been completed for a week now.

I hope you enjoyed watching it. I had a great time creating it for you. 

The past couple of days I have been working on some other projects, which have been taking up my time.  So, today, I wanted to share some of my process with you. 

Above is a picture of the After Effects interface. This is where I color my videos, create graphics, and sometimes edit. After Effects is home for me. This application has a lot to offer. From creating cartoons, using the puppet tool, to making explosions in a movie scene, this program allows my imagination take flight. I have not yet fully realized the program's full capabilities. A program that is a platform for your creativity is not something to master, but a journey that you take. A journey of discovery is the most important thing, not what effect you can make. In a couple of days I should be finished with the projects that I am working on, and I hope to post those behind the scenes photos and share more of my process.


I called you all, "Audience," because, well, I'm inviting you to observe, to comment, and enjoy all of my processes with me.  I hope soon I will grow more accustomed to blogging and share more photos, stories, thoughts, and perhaps even problem solving techniques.  Thank you all so much for taking the time to read and be part of those "looking on" as I am in the middle of "becoming..." something...
