Okay, it’s official: I love stop motion. Tom and I spent a day at my apartment shooting the great escape of the contents of Tom’s pocket, across a table, into sofas or out of the room. We had a pretty good routine going, with Tom moving one set of stuff and me moving [...]

So, after a lovely long weekend and way too much food, here we are again — back to ITP, back to CommLab, and back to bad ideas for stories, put on storyboards, soon to be made into films. Whee!
For this adventure, I’m working with Tom to use iStopMotion (because I really did have way too [...]

Yesterday my CommLab group met to film the outdoor scenes for our two-minute movie (which are most of the scenes anyway), filmed in Cooper Park, which I believe is in [...]

Our storyboarding for the CommLab 2-minute movie assignment went well today — as it turns out, we’re all twisted bastards, so the movie seems to be coming along accordingly.

This week’s CommLab readings centered around what I think is one of the most fascinating subjects a commercial artist (or any artist who ever wants to sell anything, really) has to deal with today — who owns what, how much is it worth, and how do you go about distributing what’s yours?
In most ways, I [...]

I love photoshop. I have not, however, spent as much time with it as I could have. That’s where this week’s assignment comes in. We were tasked to work in pairs and create an image out of 3-5 other images. I worked with Tom. He’s spectacular with photoshopping hilarity into everday objects. I, however, [...]
