100w class "who am i" poem

Class writing assignment.

I am from the first generation of 3d video games

     from a short and stubby italian plumber in nintendo 64 

    and a well spoken, smooth shaven, british spy who would attend our 007         parties.

I am from the white spotless carpets, 

    shinny, circle spotted marble counters,

    soft fur on our dogs belly.

    Grey soft dust sitting on my hutch,

    dark black colored flies buzzing around the house, 

    red colored, chirping birds in my yard.

I am from a faint brown patch of Elongata Slender Harigrass,

     a light blue show of lilac, 

     a gigantic choppy rough red barked forest.

Gusting winds churning and finding its way through sharp shaped saw grass,

     bright orange yellow poppies,

     light brown fallen oak, trapped as old cranky drift wood on a bright  overexposed California beach.

I am from competitive family game night fridays, 

      and a sloppy ancient new york accent,

      from my beautiful yellow haired, pale skin, grandmother Eileen 

      and my warm hearted mother linda,

      from the beautifully determined Unraths and intellectual Anderson's

I am from the laughter that spreads through the world by my family,

      and the drive that pushes them to sweat and work hard,

      from "i can be the best if i work hard enough" 

      and failure is not an option it is a part of life.

I am from the white painted, huge arched, vibrant colored pain glass windows of a christian church

I'm from both  white Germany and black Africa

      but my true birth place is mixed America, 

From greasy pickle filled cheeseburgers and yellow mustard cluttered hot dogs, 

From the love and warmth of an african father, 

      the purple sickle shaped cells that keeps him tired,

      and the over streched smile and heart of my beautiful mother,

      who both made sure i had the care and warmth that i needed as a child.

I am from a first colonized smug weathered home on the east coast,

      where beautiful pictures of my handsome young looking family were taken

      my handsome german grandfather who raised my bright white light of a mother,

      where i can escape with word and chatter about my frustrating life on the west coast,

      and feel the warmth and love from old wrinkle wisdom filled grandparents, 

      beautiful dark haired loving aunts,

      aggressive tough but caring uncles and,

      younger wrinkle free cousins,

     a place where I was shown through tough sweat filled examples,

     that the american dream can be made true.

A little iMovie fun. Boarding the plane at JFK and arriving at SFO airport.

long time since i have posted anything on my blog, have been really busy with work and a live action short film I am directing with a few buds. This is a 2-d animation done for a game project that I was on this summer.

Saw snow white and the huntsman today. It was very magical and I rather enjoyed it. The visual effects and animation was spectacular and made the movie so much more visually pleasing.

Here is my demo reel with all of my past animations that I thought were my best. I am going to post a reel breakdown in my next post.

This is numer 2 of the short films my group completed in our Spring 2012 digital animation class. It is a story about a pirate who is not very good at what he does because he is very clumsy, but he loves being a pirate. My shot is the 3rd shot in this small film and it shows him jumping off the mast. Overall it was a very fun project to work on and my group put a lot of hard work into our own individual shots.

This is one of two shorts films that I was part of for my spring 2012 digital animation class. My Shot is the first shot of the character coming out of the drainage whole. our objective was to have a fully polished shot by the end of the semester as well as make our human character feel as though he is an animal. Our groups animal was a goofy raccoon detective who is on a mission to find evidence for a crime that was committed.

Animation from my fall 2011 129b class. I chose my best shots from the class to put on my blog. The first shot is just blocking of a paper throw. The 2nd shot was my first attempt in polishing a shot and making the animation smooth. The final shot is a small shot from a short film that we completed as a class called the great escape.

These are character turnarounds that I completed in fall 2011 in my Ani115 class. They were done for a short film called "The Funeral"in which I had to complete for this class. The top photo is a comparison chart of the size of the characters next to each other. In the middle is the character bob, and underneath is his wife lucy.
