Simpson’s Ride Premiere May 17, 2008 • 05.18.08

The line for the ride
I went with Kristin yesterday to serve as her photographer for covering the premiere of The Simpson’s Ride at Universal Studios. She wrote a post for TV Squad here that tells you all about it and has several of my photos credited to me. The bad news: they didn’t let us ride the ride. Evidently, the press wasn’t supposed to eat the food either, but they didn’t tell us that until after Kristin and I had already been through the line and were coming back for seconds. ;-)

Here’s some choice others from the event that I uploaded to a Flickr set: Simpson’s Ride Premiere May 17, 2008 - a set on Flickr

ps—Why doesn’t Flickr let you embed slideshows of Flickr sets?

UPDATE: Thanks to Sean pointing to Flickrslidr in the comments, here’s a slideshow of the set:

Spotted this 9 minute German film over at Open Thinking & Digital Pedagogy:

Very cool, or should I say: Ausgezeichnet!

Doodling… • 04.15.07

So I think I’m going to try to get a sketch a day up on this blog, now that I have the tablet and can have a straight to digital workflow. I’m considering penning a comic too. The workflow I imagine is taking real life reference pictures, organizing them in Comic Life into an actual story, then bring that finished set of panels into ArtRage 2 as a reference that I sketch over and ink. We’ll see how it goes.

I signed up to try out Sketchbook Pro, because from what I can tell it’s a more refined version of ArtRage 2. Unfortunately, all they offer me is the Windoze version. Also, there’s no mention of the software being Universal Binary. Anyone have any insight into this?

Good software for drawing / art / animation? • 04.14.07

I’m on OS X. What does everyone use?

I bought Art Rage a while back and am digging it. I’m downloading the demos for Anime Studio 5 and Manga Studio 3 from e-frontier. Anyone use these? Any recommendations?

Anyone used Lineform from Freeverse? Should I just buy Adobe and get it over with?

This is crazy… • 03.21.07


Very cool video of a “speed-painting” of John Locke from Lost. I wonder how fast this was actually done and how much it was sped up.
