Greats news!

I had an internship interview last Thursday at 3FX, which for those of you who are too lazy to check out the link is a 3D studio that specializes in pharmaceutical and medical animations. My school offers internships that count as class credit, so that's what I was aiming for for next quarter. Sadly, next quarter's internship at 3FX has already been taken by one of the members of my Production group, but the good news is that Rocky (the dude that handles internships at 3FX) wants me for the winter internship. Score!

I made two simple animations, red blood cells traveling through an artery and dissected eye that has a slice that opens and closes to reveal the inside....I was worried it wasn't going to be enough to show him, but Rocky said that my work is some of the best he's seen in a long time. Wow, that was a huge compliment! So starting in December, I get to intern 6 hours a day for 3 days per week...crap, this means I have to go out and buy more professional type clothes now.

Other even better news: Steve finally got hired full-time at Center City Film and Video, which he has been freelancing at for almost a full year now. That is extremely awesome, because he works his ass off and hasn't been getting paid nearly what he's worth, so that we've been kind of scraping by on our rent every month and he has no health insurance...all to come to an end starting October 1st. It just makes me feel bad that I'm still jobless and unable to contribute any more than I can already....le sigh...

Anyway, here's some stills I took from my animations. First is the red blood cells:



And the eye:



Yay!
