Moon Diary Released Online!

So uhh... sorry about the year long lack of updates. Haha, I was busy? I guess?

Anyway, here's an update for the 4 or 5 of you that look at this thing occasionally, one which you probably heard about elsewhere already but...

Moon Diary is online!

Here is a list of places where it can be viewed so far...

If you're interested, there's also a vimeo version here.

Fire Operation Demo

Been a while since my last post. Moon Diary has been on sabbatical for the last couple weeks as I've been learning how to use Blender so that I can make these educational videos for my job. It's got a near 90 degree learning curve, but once you memorize the capacities for the program it's pretty simple to put something together. I made this video in a little under two weeks, and in this format it wouldn't be too hard to extend it to an hour as proposed (I hope.)

I've also made another short film for submitting to the Olympia Film Festival. I'll put that up sometime this week, and it'll go on the main site, so official vid. It feels really great to get something finished. The current plan for Moon Diary is to record vocals for day 6 sometime this week, and once I have those full production will be back in effect.

NAESA International Company Profile

Just finished the NAESA International company profile earlier today, just uploaded it to YouTube 10 minutes ago. Been working on this thing rather than Moon Diary for a while now, but I just got ahold of "Godel, Escher, Bach" and as soon as I've started making some good progress on that I'll be starting the storyboards for days 6 and 7, meaning the beginning of the end.

Any way, enjoy this informative diversion!

Super Speed

I recorded myself drawing in the latest background over the course of 3 and a half hours, and then sped it up about a hundred times to see it all happen at once. I only recorded the drawing part, I didn't bother with the animating part since that would have been extremely repetitive and plus I wouldn't have had something big to end on. I probably spent another 3 or 4 hours animating and tweaking to get the final 5 seconds of animation. I didn't realize all that much about my process, except that I spend a lot of time tweaking and that windows take forever.

Moon Diary Trailer

The Moon Diary trailer is FINALLY up. As you may remember, YouTube found out my video had a copyrighted song and disabled the audio. The song was originally Sleep, by Azure Ray. For those that are interested, I implore you to look up the original and then listen to the song that I created for the trailer. Mine isn't quite as savory, but I feel I did a good job of making a song that fills the same aural niche without actually copying.

Let's get this hype machine rolling! Show your friends the trailer, or whatever it is that you do that makes me famous! Please?
