I've been in a slump over the weekend and haven't produced any new material. I will be posting some roughs this weekend.

Here are some rough animations for Dreams. Hope you guys like them!

Nothing new to post just yet, I've been compositing what I have as far as roughs go and have been concentrating on tightening down the timing. Over Spring Break, I plan on finishing the remaining shots so to the point where all that is needed is tie-downs and cleanup. Once all the animated shots are roughed, I'll finish compositing and send it to my composer for him to take a look at and make any adjustments to the musical track as needed.

I've been cleaning up and coloring shots and will be posting some new stuff really soon. The audio mixing has been cleaned up and is complete. Special thanks to my friend Brad Giorio for doing the song for me; I'm extremely pleased with the results.A couple backgrounds needed some additional elements and I finally got them in and they're looking nice. Thanks for those, Monica! I'll be posting those momentarily as well. Overall, the movie is looking good and will probably be finished over the summer. As for CC, that is a top priority as well and hope to roll that out also over summer.

Yes, classes are finally finished. Dreams is probably 70% done and looking good. I bought a 300gb VelociRaptor HDD and 4 more gb of RAM for a total of 8gb and a copy of Win 7 and did all that stuff yesterday, gearing up for the summer. Going to be animating my ass off this summer, so I needed the equipment to do it faster. Cosmic Chase will be going into full production within the next couple of weeks once things settle down. There really isn't a whole lot left to do on CC, so I definitely want to finish that this summer, no excuses. I have the capabilities to do so and hopefully nothing gets in my way.After CC, which is my highest priority, I want to finish Dreams and release that. After that's done, I want to start on my senior film and get that going for next semester. Now that I'll have ample amounts of time, I'd like to release more screenshots and maybe animation tests of Sonic while the wait continues. Hang on just a little bit more!

Well, that and finishing Demon's Souls. I've been working on getting my computer configured and tweaked and I'm now ready to dive into the remaining workload. I surveyed the remnants of what needs to be done and while there are still a few outstanding shots, 99% of it is colors and backgrounds. I'd like to post at least every week detailing my progress and maybe provide a screenshot of some sort.So yeah, wish me luck.

Nothing and everything. I've been working on CC when I can. Hit a few road bumps in the past couple weeks with life, but I'm continuing where I left off. I won a short story writing contest at school, so that's kinda cool. Cash prize and getting published in the contest's magazine in the fall. So yeah, keeping busy and trying to do what I can to put the kabash on this project.

Had a bit of a rough week so-to-speak, so I worked through it. Buried my head inside the depths of Flash and kept crankin' away. Also, I met with Ido about a concept for my college senior film so that needs to get squared away and pre-production will begin on that project. I've got an interview with an IT recruiter tomorrow about possible Flash positions in my area, so we'll see how that goes.As for CC, I worked on it a lot this past week. Getting tired of straight up coloring, so I might switch it up and do backgrounds because those need to get done too. First ever glimpse of Act 3 coming next week.

A little bit of a blog redesign. I was bored with the old design and there were some new templates to mess with.Worked a little bit on CC this week and on my new film. Other accomplishments this week include getting the platinum trophy in Demon's Souls and now I'm going back to hang with my boy Nathan Drake in Uncharted 2.So as promised, here's the first glimpse of Act 3.If you're not already following, please subscribe to the blog. I'd like to gauge the loyal fanbase and get a bigger response from you guys. In the future I'll be releasing sneak preview content in one format or another and it would be in your best interest to be on the VIP list.

Last night, Ido and I went for a night on the town to see the local video game rap duo, The Adventures of Duane and Brando. They put on an awesome show as they played all of the songs we wanted to hear. Days before the show, I requested a song by posting on their YouTube and sure enough, they tossed it in their setlist and said aloud it was their first time performing that song. I talked to Duane after the show and thanked him for doing that song and he mentioned he did it for the single comment made on his YouTube. Needless to say, I was pretty stoked. Here are some vids I took at the show.Audio is definitely NSFW.So that was a lot of fun. Hope to see them again soon. As for Cosmic Chase, I put in about 25 hours of work into Act 3 this past week alone. It's been the most productive I've been since last summer and am pretty happy. "Okay, so, what does 25 hours equal in terms of progress?" you're asking. Well let me tell you this: 22 out of 43 shots are complete. Done. Finished. Finalized. Yeah sure there might be some timing I want to tweak when it's all said and done, but the backgrounds, special effects, animation, and coloring are totally done on half of Act 3. I'm estimating if I bust my ass for the next week or two, I can have Act 3 done in that timespan.Cosmic Chase is extremely close to being complete. I'm still going to go back and fix up the rest of the movie's pacing, cut unnecessary shots, and maybe (though I hope not) redo a shot or two. I'm trying to get this movie out asap, so I've been cutting corners wherever I can, corners that even the human eye can't see the difference. It doesn't affect the movie in any way and you guys won't even notice a difference. Act 3 is chock full of detail as it is and it's got some nifty effects. Some effects I wanted to do Flash didn't like and crashed on me 5 different attempts, so obviously that effect isn't going to make the cut.Thanks everyone who recently subscribed and if you haven't yet, make sure to do that. Tell everyone you know to subscribe. I'd appreciate it.Being this close to completion, when will the movie be ready for viewing? That's what everyone wants to know, right? Still reading?The release date for Sonic X: Cosmic Chase will be announced next month. It's closer than you think.Time to get pumped.
