New Year....new changes!!

2007 has flown by and now the first day is almost gone too. I'm not one for New Year resolutions, but more for just continuing with what needs to be done. I've slacked off this last month and I'm now ready to kick this animated short into high gear. I have a TALENTED composer working on the music for my short and I've been blown away by the little bit I've heard. He's an up and coming musician and I'm really excited to see him jumping into this new challenge. Plus, it's going to make my short all the better. Keep watching for further updates on this next great short coming outta DakotaKid Animation Studio.

Until laterz!

White Christmas

Well..as 2007 comes to a close and our house gets quieter as my sister and her family return back to the Netherlands after a six months stay, I realize I've been a bad blogger and now stand here vowing to make 2008 a better blog year! :) Hopefully it will be just simply because I'll have more things to blog about. Along with more drawings and animation. Those that have been following my blog for the updates on my current short film, I have not forgotten you or my film. I will be starting back into it, full speed maybe even before the clock strikes 12 on New Years Eve! But until then, I wish you all a wonderful Christmas (past) and a kick butt New Year (to come!!). Keep checking in...

Until laterz!

Still here....

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to post to let you all that I'm STILL hard at work on this short. I've just not gotten any post worthy stuff recently. I want to give you some little tidbits, but don't wanna give away ALL the sweet shots! ha! I'm on schedule to be "done" with the first half of the short by mid-Nov. I say "done" because I have this feeling I'll be going back to some of the early shots and tweaking them, maybe adding a shot here or there..but I wanna see everything together and THEN tweak. Anyways..I'm still alive, still working daily...and still can't wait to see this short come to completion!

Until laterz!

Where've I been??

Hey all!!

I realized I have tried to post a few times in the last couple months and for one reason or another, I didn't get it done. So, just to make sure you all know I'm still alive..here's a quickie. I've been pretty busy with work and coaching. The gymnastics season is coming to a close, so that's gonna make life a slight easier. I've had a few clients that have wanted some animation done, so that's taken most of my time. Now, I'm focused on a few personal projects and getting ready for a few trips this summer. I'm heading over to Taiwan for my wonderful friend's, Campbell Chang and Linda Way, wedding in June and then go to San Diego for this years SIGGRAPH 2007 conference and to catch up again with my friend Julie. I'll be posting more about these trips and about my next push to get a job at an animation studio (get ready Disney!!)

Until laterz!
