    Thank you GB Hajim. I am looking forward to learning with you and others in TechHui about film, tv, animations, etc. My kids and I have been interested in the subjects for about four years now. We even dabbled with a new start up in Japan, which is currently being run by some USC graduate students who are friends of ours. They have some cool connections in Hollywood and Japan as well. We have gone from writing stories, to filming some shots, to animation studies (animation film school tours in Japan, Maya 7.0 demos, etc.), back to writing scripts, and thinking about scripts and stories. Still learning!

    When we come up with questions that we think make sense, we will get back to you. Right now, da boyz are just enjoying winter break with their friends :-) Thank you for letting us ask questions!

    Aloha GB!
    Just watched with my daughter the Kids film shorts at Doris Duke theatre. I've had a few ideas that I'd like to animate and am wondering if you had a few pointers or how to start? I've been a volunteer for film fests so now its about time to make one. Thanks,

    All of the above! Short film, tell a story, animate. See how that goes and then expand (longer film or better quality or ?). Have been involved in a few local Hawaiian movies as an extra & behind the scenes. It was fun & unpaid and has been an interst for many years.

    hey GB, i've been reading your comments on the Are Hawaii's Tech Tax Credit Worth the Cost? and i've been digging your comments. the tech industry is like any other industry, its all about the people. people come first.

    Yikes! 6 years? Well, I'll have to see it when its out. Thanks for the info, I can see there is a lot of experience there. My story is a short that I have told off and on for a little while. Had my daughter illustrate it (5 years ago) to bind into a book (I do traditional hand bookbinding) and as per your suggestions it'll be vetted by her & others & of course reworking her illustrations if thats the route I go. So its ripe for putting to film. It's story driven. I want to do this short one and see how it goes before a bigger project. I am at the point of needing to know software & animation options to further make decisions. I think I owe you a shave ice...

    GB,
    Any recommendations for software or what tech to use for such a project? Total newbie here, but willing to read & learn. Thanks, -rob.

    Greetings,

    A couple of quick things:

    (1) I'd be very interested in your perspective on how the ICS M.S. program could better suit the local community:

    (2) In one of your previous postings, you spoke about friends going on tour with the Dead. I happen to play occasionally with a local Grateful Dead style jam band called Shakadown Street:

    Do you play music? Would you like to come jam with us sometime?
