No progress this week. Computer was down for half the week as my power supply blew out late Sunday night. Had to order a replacement and what not. Been busy with school and other stuff.Mega Man 9 came out today for Wii. Can't wait to check it out.I'm selling this Guitar Hero 3 bundle of mine on ebay.9-14 - 9-20: 0 hours :(

No progress this week either. I ended up upgrading my computer to the fact that I ended up building one. It's a pretty beefy budget system that's great for gaming and working.Chassis: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813141005CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115017RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150314PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005In the near future I want to get another graphics card to run SLI. The new Adobe CS4 suite utilizes GPUs now so running Flash and Photoshop should be much faster. Not to mention rendering in Maya will take less time.9-21 - 9-27: 0 hours :(

So October has come and gone and I didn't work on CC all that much. Currently I have no idea when I will get the motivation and time to work on the project, but I do work on it inbetween homework now and then.Total time: 3 hours 45 minutes

I hope you guys enjoyed the April Fools pic. It was indeed a joke, but the part about my job is real.

I worked on finalizing the Act 2 storyboard with Ido and did some cleanup work on the shot I've been working on for a long time now.Week 7-6 - 7-12: 7 hoursI'm going to change up my workflow in hopes of getting things done quicker, or at least make my time more efficient. In the past, I worked on a shot from pencil test to final color and shading. Now, I'm going to finish out Act 2 with pencil tests, which allows for an accurate visual for timing, and then go back after it's all drawn out and do the cleanup work and then finally coloring.It will be helpful in the sense that Ido and I can go over the pencil tests together and tighten up timing in a much easier fashion. It will also enable him to play more of a directorial part in the production phase. Not to mention, I'll feel a whole lot better when I see some major progress by doing pencil tests for every shot for the rest of the movie. It'll feel like I'll have more accomplished and then possibly get another hand in on the cleanup/coloring phase to speed this everlasting project along.I'm excited.

Nothing new to report. Hoping to get some work done this week before class begins next week. We'll see how that goes.8-17 - 8-23: 4 hours 15 minutes

Not much to report, got some major work accomplished this week in the form of tying down frames.8-24 - 8-30: 11 hours 30 minutes

Hi guys! Nothing new and exciting happened this month in the way of anything whatsoever. Classes end next week so I need to finish final projects. One is a 3d animated short and another is for a business class which ranged in projects to choose from. My girlfriend and I are working together and are going to do a promotional package for Cosmic Chase, so you guys will see some artwork of hers soon.Other than that, I might have to work over the holidays. Let's shoot for Christmas 2009 release, k?

I had to come into work today to finish up a few projects before the new year arrives. We had a lengthy meeting about the year in review and upcoming opportunities and the like. We briefly talked about something that has been a crux of companies and projects. It's called "Paralysis of Analysis" and is self explanatory: something gets analyzed over and over and over so much to where nothing ever comes of it. It goes along the lines of "less talk more work"...I think you all know where I'm going with this. Cosmic Chase has been analyzed over and over by me and I know what needs to get done and how to do it, but I don't put in the hours like I once did.That's my end of the year analytical rant. Have a Happy New Year and let's hope and pray 2009 is the year of the release.

School is full swing, I try to do my homework during downtime that pops up often and when homework is complete and downtime still remains, I end up working on CC.A few weeks ago, my girlfriend and I made chicken pot pies for dinner. I cut out Sonic on one of them.On another note, last semester we had a business project to do which involved an animated trailer and promotional ads for the movie and production company. We chose to use CC because...well, the trailer was done. My girlfriend ended up drawing a promotional poster for Cosmic Chase in her own style and I think it turned out really good.Total Hours for January: 9h 30m
