end of year/films

I had a great time this year, especially with feeling the feeling of finishing a film.

I'm so excited for next year, I've already been tossing and turning at night with thinking of my next one!!

I thought a lot about the Producer's Show this year and what it means to me. I've seen for two years now only a handful of great films get shown in the spotlight at the Academy for prestigious studios to see, while the rest of highly-qualified films get little to no attention. On top of that, we get no feedback whatsoever from our judges--the faculty--no matter if we've gotten picked or not. Every film was made with tremendous amount of work and sacrifice, and it breaks my heart to see them not get love from eyes that missed them.

Here are some of my favorites that didn't show at the Producers' Show:

my room

or it would be, if it were *just a pinch* cooler

Hope everyone's enjoying the season c:

sick

I'm BACK! A Non-Dinosaur Story

Well hello my wonderful (two or three) readers! I am back on blogspot to share more of my life and doodles! So what has happened to me in a year?? A-heckuva-lot--BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY:

I have been admitted into CALARTS CHARACTER ANIMATION FOR FALL OF 2010

YEEESSSSSS.

So I will be blogging about my exciting adventures there for the next four years!

It comes to no surprise that there have been many connections made on Facebook since everyone's acceptance letters came in. I even sent my acceptance story over to CalArts Admissions, and they posted it! The excitement is so saturated, it feels like as soon as school starts it's already a schoolwide party. I feel so privileged to have been accepted into such a prestigious art school, and I'm sure everyone else feels likewise. Already there have been plans for LA excursions, coffee shop visits, and group Ikea dorm shopping!

The future is bright, and summer time has been moving so sluggishly simply because I'm waiting for it to END! But I must bask in this beautiful SoCal weather while it's summer, and enjoy all the opportunities summer present! So I've been trying to keep up with life drawing practice before I move up in September. To my delight, I've found that Perspective life drawing sessions are also back in full force in Hillcrest!!

Here is Eliza, a gorgeous multi-talented performing artist.
