Hey, How About An Update?

It's almost 2013, and it's blowing my mind. Where did 2012 go?

Actually, I've got an answer for that. Since I last updated (in October; whoops), I:

  • Got engaged (yay!)
  • Accepted a new job
  • Finally sold a handful of stuff through my Etsy shop
  • Made a music video
  • Ran my first (and second) 5K
  • Read exactly 100 books (not since October. Just in 2012.)

And here's what's on the docket for 2013:

  • Get married
  • Buy a house
  • Start a new job
  • Finish the Teen Movie Project

I'm most afraid of that last one, to be honest.

So unless I pass out from exhaustion, I'll see you in the new year! Happy holidays, everyone.

Puppets. Again.

So, I'm making puppets again.

You'll notice these are less, uh, meticulously sculpted than the last ones. And they're not done, of course. But a good rule of thumb is that if a project involves googly eyes, you won't be staying up until 4 in the morning too often.

These are for that music video that I've suddenly found myself directing. I love how the one in the middle seems to be rolling her eyes. Probably about the fact that she has not only googly eyes, but googly eyelashes. Love it.

Accidentally Prolific

Remember the Teen Movie Project? Well, that's still happening. I'm about 90% done with the editing (at which point, I will announce to an empty room "lock picture!"), but there are still colors to correct, audio to equalize, and so on and so forth. It's getting done, just...slowly.

In the meantime, I was surprised and flattered by my friend Beryl, who asked me to direct her upcoming music video. Wha wha what? I mean, ok, I guess I just directed the TMP, and I've certainly worked on music videos before, and she's even thinking of including puppets...but that's all been my own stuff! I don't know if I should be allowed to execute someone else's vision.

But then she offered me pizza and beer, so I said yes.

Here's the storyboard she and teen movie DP Jonathan put together. Good stuff, right?
