Spring break, productivity and withdrawal…

So….

I spent my spring break in front of Larry (my beloved computer) just Rotoscoping and listening to endless This American Life shows. After spending roughly 40 hours in front of Larry, I developed a sort of digital animism that I now have to live with for the rest of the quarter. On a positive note, I did finish all my Brooklyn rotoscoping. I do still have Russia and Israel, but those will go much smoother as I have the process mastered by now and much less frames to do. I’ve attached a vimeo file for you guys to look at a mini rotoscope teaser. This is not what the final aesthetic will be. The opacity of pixilated layers and the rotoscoped layers will fade over time. I will not be posting more rotoscoping examples because I need to move on to animation.

On a sad note, however, I will no longer be participating in Jaden’s film. Jaden, if you are reading this silly little blog, I want you to know that I still very much believe in your story and subject matter. And that you do have a support group..even if it’s just a niche.
