July Madness

July has been crazy so far and is only speeding up. To begin, I'm currently entrenched in the process of refining the first EIU sports promo and getting it tweaked for the client. The first music track was a no-go, so I'm currently recutting the footage to a peppier track. It's completely changed the feel of the promo and I hope that it doesn't take away from the overall aesthetic charm (but as long as the client's happy, that's good with me).

Towards the beginning of the month I donned a pair of old school flannel pajamas, red of course, (the ones like and adult onesie) and stood in front of a green-screen for Andy and Will's "Spaceman Flannel" short. I don't want to talk about it...

In addition, I've had the honor of teaching a crew of 11-14 years olds in a Stop Motion Film class at the Tarble Arts Center. This is the second year I've gotten to work with the kids and so far they're making some really cool stuff. Most of them have completed their claymation and whiteboard cartoons, so tomorrow we'll start our 3D object animations. It's a blast to work alongside them. There's always lots of quirky plots riddled with clay blood and insanity. Ahhh... Awesomeness. 

Next week, I'll be working with a veteran of last year's class, Jesse Wilson-Brown to tag-team a realistic zombie short. We're going for a profession day to day film with some action scenes. I'm really looking forward to getting the final script done and begin preproduction full on.

It's gonna be a busy month rolling right into Shark Week.
