Yikes, about time I updated. So, this week has sucked a fatty.
I've been doing a favour job for a friend of mine. he and some friends started a motion graphics company, and they're good, really good. Pitchin' on sweet stuff. Problem is, two of the three went out of town. I'm helping on some tests for a job. Jesus, the board I got to...

I've told two people so far of my gender concerns. Okay... I'm pretty drunk right now. And I have to work tomorrow? Question mark?
Yes... I think I'm drunk. It's 5:30am. But yeah... first, I told a girl who likes me who... er... was crushing on me? She was too much for me, but very accepting of me in my entirety. My girl knows... but...

I think we should hang out......This going back and forth and shit is gettin annoying. That's just me though.
WTF? Keylight comes with AE 7? See I wouldn't know that because our Admin dude installed it after I asked my boss for it. I put Primatte's demo on it so I can pull a key with that, then pull a key using the crap and try to convince my boss to get me some more toys.
Not to mention, I think she just c/p'd the job description from another video editor job description somewhere's out there in la la land. They wanted me to know Shake and Maya and we don't even have those f-ing programs at CRL. Anywho......

Doggy found her home!
Turns out her name is Princess, very befitting of a black Staffordshire (pit bull), I think. I got an e-mail from her daddy, and he matched her description perfectly. Turns out the neighbors even saw me and my girl rescue her from the street. I was described as "someone with purple hair in a BMW." Well, I guess my girl's...

Hey you....
No, my reel's not online. I have been in the process of puttin it on though. I just have a bunch of copies of it on dvd. What about you?
Oh I just got AE 7 Prof @ work and I really do hate pulling keys with 8 bit vid footage
Or do I shoot on 12? I forget, but either way, it sucks ass.
Ciao

you said:
Yeah, VF, 8-bit sucks. But if it's off a digi-beta, then it's really 10-bit. Switching AE up to 16-bit mode may help... except sometimes the telecine place, even if it has a DiVinci capable of higher than 8-bit, only has a data-spirit or other film scanner that sends an 8-bit signal. In which case, you're screwed whichever way you key. Of course, if you're using footage from DV or SP or anything 8-bit to begin with, may god have mercy on your soul.
PS. AE 7 is the lamest upgrade. At least it's 32-bit float now, like Shake. But yuck. What keyer are you using? The built in keyers are ass. Primatte 3.0 is the best AE keyer out there, although sometimes Keylight pulls off magic. 8-bit in AE makes you really miss keying Cineons and DPXs in Shake, don't it?
I say:
I tried pulling a key just using a combo of the spill supresser and the in/out mask thingy......I don't think I can convince my boss to get me any plug-ins. I just want my SHAKE
Looks like I'll be gettin good at pulling keys using the Matinee plug-in in FCP HD Pro. UuuGGGGG!!
I was getting mighty frusterated with the built-in keyers in AE though. I had like 4 diff garbage mattes goin on and the greenscreen was lit pretty well and my subject barely fricken moved. I thought that maybe I was just a bit rusty at pulling keys, but alas, I think it's more than that.

Oh, my, goodness. What a two days these two days have been. My girl and I found a stray dog, took her in and have been embarking on that crazy task of trying to find her home. There are so many shelters, vets, rescues and what have you to contact.
This little black pit bull mix was in the middle of the street in the...

I have never used AE for any of my COMPing needs.....Hmmmm. I cannot imagine how hard it must be!!!! I only really use AE for all my text animating needs, although, I'm a bit spoiled at work with LiveType and Digital Juice 
Shit........wish our place would take a bow-wow. I already got fishies and a micro-hamster. This makes me Xtremely sad ;'(

Ug, so... I don't remember which day, Thursday? Perhaps? Well, I got sick. Like a cold or something. Maybe it was acute allergies or something, cuz it didn't last long. Regardless, I was out for the count Thursday night through Saturday. NyQuil got me through the storm alright, though. Hooray for NyQuil!!!

Monday is here. Well, if I were a sleuth, I might examine that piece of evidence and ask, where did the weekend go? Hmmmm, paint on my hands, in my hair and on my jeans.... I must have painted my gf's apartment. Clever. Clever. I love painting rooms, it's sooo fulfilling.

your work is stunning.

Beautiful art nouveau! <3
I guess I'm really confused about my life, and as I've taken this to be my sounding board of doubt and dread, I don't feel bad about it, not one bit.
The Journey: I feel like I'm on a ship. Some great land might be in sight, looming on the horizon, but place is it? Where am I headed? Is it better than where I...

Hello, hello, my girls and boys,
My friends, my foes,
My broken, little toys.
The year casts on us a shadow so long,
You run, you hide,
Though you can't hide long.
But time will persist, and take us all home,
We beg, we borrow,
Yet we can't escape the tomb.
So farewell, farewell, my boys and girls,
And take this as solace
As our...

I just can't figure out a good placement for it on my ribs. If I could think of a good way to place it and not have it look doofy I'd be all for it!
This is the first update in quite some time. Um, like that picture... that was me two years ago. That should give an idea. Maybe I'll be more active here. God, I don't think I know anyone anymore. Wow. Uh. Nuthin' ta say. yarrrr.
Have you ever just wanted to jump out of your body, maybe into someone elses, maybe randomly? Maybe live a little of their life your way, let them try yours out? Fix a problem you see or just see what it feels like to be them or even interact with yourself to see what you're really like? Would you like yourself? The way you look....

happy birthday bro. we're like twins or something 
jujubee:
Happy Birthdoooooooooooooooh what's the use...... 
Why (when we actually went to school for this shiznit)
Are we still struggling to figure stuff out????
I think it's why I love vfx/motion graphics so much. We're always having to figure stuff out, therefore, we are constantly getting smarter. Or dumber, depending on if we figure the stuff out or not.
Did you figure out the light trails??
Mmmmmmmmmm..............trails
