Thanks for the invite on "animation in common". Let me know if you want to chat to compare notes. I see your 2/09 post on a trip to Skywalker. I have a friend there in facilities management (Ivan Thatcher) who's sister sang for the Dead. He has shown me around and the place which was very impressive. I met with a story-board illustrator there and had a few casual discussions with people at Industrial Light and Magic, but nothing significant ever came from it. Have you done any work with PREVIZ for movie or video production? Have you done any modeling, scripting, or animationin in 3D worlds like Second life or Blue mars?

Hi GB,

Big Aloha back to you. ;o)

I really enjoyed your talk. The audience was clearly very engaged.

I'm glad we got a chance to grab a beer. It was a colorful evening :-)

Hi GB,
Hows the Big Island treating you? Its been years... I'm on Oahu missing the long walks on lava fields but got freelance biz here. Not grinding out PhotoShop grunge or digiart, its more show me the money projects now. I'll try to make your talk at PNM. :-)

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?

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

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...

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.

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.
