Skins__

Well, here are four of the 10 designed skins. As inconsistent as they may be I feel strangely accomplished having this initially finished with minus online PR and revisions once I get my hands on a 3ds to adjust the camera sizes and overall designs and although this was only for school I think I'm going to continue designing skins for fun and obviously find a slightly better way of packaging them. What I have right now works but it just feels off. Staples suck (especially when not even and cutting text >_> ) and my method of bonding bags is less then fun....



Other then this, today I was at school for about 9 hours on my day off scripting and helping create assets for a vans mock up site with a friend. That project is also coming along and quickly shaping up. So I will probably post a link to that as well a week or two before the end of April. Finally, I've been working on a clients CD cover and spent some time last night vectoring out monkeys.. I have a few in process but I actually really like the one character. It almost reminds me of the old dinosaur character for the toyshop site I created in the past just...more awesome.

filming

Last week I had the chance to help with the production of a aspiring directors short film. While on set I assisted with the set up and direction for 2/3 days of filming. PJ Gioia's film is set to release in late April and a link will be posted following the launch. Below are a couple pics from Saturday nothing too fancy though.

I'm just doing a quick update of some compilation covers I made during my first day of work at Euphonic Sound. All of which still require a backing cover which I'm waiting on copy for. However the basic design is finished and just requires touch-ups. I'm not quite happy with the hiphop/indie cover but its a work in progress. Other then that, I think I'm going to eat some dinner and go back to sleep, todays been way way to long and I woke up having chest pains in the morning so I've been asleep for the past 7 hours haha. Either way enjoy'

March News

Well..I've been really busy lately, explaining the lack of updates. However I do have a lot of stuff to be posted- some of which I'm just waiting on clearance to make sure I can post the projects. Anyways, since last month I am now employed and designing random goodness at a nice pace. Aside from work I'm nearly done my final semester at school and with that I have been working on designing a series of skins. I have a couple finished but I'm waiting on finishing at-least half of them before I post so be expecting something neat soon.

However. Enjoy the following videos -



The castle video is a lab from class created using still images to create a 3d parallax effect. There will be more of these posted soon (and non-lab videos at that!)

I was also going to post a fairly rushed 'how-to' video explaining the usefulness of document classes in flash (using flash builder to build files) however, blogger is not allowing me to display the video properly so... I will have to post that at a later date, or check it out on my Youtube channel directly! Just be warned, I didn't color correct this video or use screen caps ( I filmed the screen directly :( ) so, the quality is fairly bad.... however the point is kind of there still

Cheers!
