Why this is here...

I'M POSTING THIS BLOG TO HELP THOSE WHO ARE SERIOUSLY INTERESTED IN 3D ANIMATION AND GRAPHIC DESIGN. FOR THE MOST PART, THE BLOGS I POST ON HERE WILL BE RELATED TO THAT. 

MY PERSONAL PHILOSOPHY IS THAT ANYBODY CAN do THIS KIND OF WORK AS LONG AS THEY HAVE THE WILL TO DO WHATEVER IT TAKES FOR HOWEVER LONG IT TAKES TO GET IN THE DOOR. IT MIGHT TAKE 20 YEARS OR 6 MINUTES AND IT ALL DEPENDS ON SKILL, INTELLECT AND DETERMINATION. AS long as you are determined to succeed you can develop skill and increase your intellect. Without determination, failure is guaranteed. 

BE PREPARED FOR SOME RANTS.

3 Films With No Budget or Staff

Most blockbuster films have a huge staff. Either they are full-time or parts of a film's development gets contracted out to smaller companies or to freelance artists. I've heard every excuse in the book about how students don't have time to do their homework. Well, if you want a job and you want to work in the entertainment industry, you have to bust your butt. Long days and even longer nights will pay off. However getting students to understand this is a bit of a headache to say the least.

These three short films were created by 2 or less people. It took them awhile but these artists put their heart and soul, and every spare moment they had into these films. These individuals have the drive and determination that all students should strive for if they really want to be successful.

Anyway, enough of the chit chat:

Killer Bean Forever

The creator, Jeff Law, pretty much made this whole 85 minute movie by himself. It took him 5 years....all by himself. This guy is pretty much the poster child for determination.

Check it out:

So now you and I have NO excuses. If this guy can make an entire movie by himself, then I should at least be able to do the dishes. Damn you Jeff Law!

Dominance War 4

Holy crap! Some of this stuff is just amazing. Given the short time you have from start to finish and the fact that some of these people work full-time, even submitting something becomes an achievement.

Check it out:

I guess I should get my butt in gear.

Brains 4 Free

I've moved the growing list of links to a new blog called Brains 4 Free. You should see a link to it on the right of this page. It's not a site devoted to my love for zombies or anything, I just figured that it would be better to have a separate page completely devoted to the distribution of free knowledge.

Enjoy:)
