EisenFeuer

Hard to believe I didn't drop by here, but I kind of got caught up with the press etc when for the first days.

What am I talking about?

Outside Aperture, the Portal Fan-Film I've been working on lazily for the last 2.5 years has been released.  Just do me a favor and don't watch the embedded vids—it was shot in 1080p, watch it in 1080p!

I've been gone for a while... I have 3,500 deviations in my watch list to catch up on.

"Outside Aperture"

At least, nothing cooler has come along yet.


Filming is done as of March 6th, deep into editing, effects, not looking forward to foley, soundtrack etc.

I'm no longer going to school.

I'm working, making money, and coming home to work on SFX tests and storyboards for Portal.

I made my own VFL bank lights, a 3x3 and a 5x5 made of 100 Watt Compact Fluorescent lightbulbs.  900 Watts and 2500 Watts respectively, making barn doors for the 3x3 tomorrow, a soft box for the 5x5 this week.

I'm setting a goal to FILM the portal movie by the end of the month.  We have an actress, I got a 10x20 green screen for christmas, we're starting tests today.

A job opportunity has arisen that I'll be investigating on Thursday, and if all goes well I may be able to NOT attend college this Spring and start working.

I had my first dream with DeviantArt in it today... it was weird.  To preface this: just know that I pull a LOT of art off of DA to be stored on my HDD.  Specifically I've been scouring portraits and figures which I've in turn painted in photoshop to continue practicing drawing.  Well, in my dream, I wasn't uploading the paintings I was making to DA, I was uploading the originals—other people's work.  I only realized that I was doing this after I had uploaded them, and I promptly took them down after realizing what I did, hoping that none of my watchers had seen them, and hoping that DA didn't have some sort of anti-art theft system in place that compared new uploads to existing works.  At one time I had uploaded 20 or so of other people's stuff only to realize what I had done after uploading all of them that I took them all down as fast as I could.  It was very strange.

I've had Photoshop and Nuke open more often than Shake these days.  I feel dirty.
