Since "Debris" is now finished, and packaged up, and sent off to festivals from whence it can never return, I started thinking about Main Character. He's based loosely on my dad, but I never really gave him a name. I've gotten to know one part of his story so well, but I'd honestly never given thought to who he is outside of that particular journey. Maybe because the film is done, and maybe because I don't really have a project to fill the void yet, I find myself thinking about it more and more.
<P>
I figure after he arrives home, he decides to spend some more time with his family. He's always been a bit of a chef at heart, and one Saturday morning, he shows his youngest daughter how to make biscuits.
<P>
Maybe she'll be the next character I explore? Or his neighbor? Or a stranger he nods to in the grocery store?
<P>
Whatever road I explore next, I hope you'll come along with me as I follow it.
<br>
Cheers!

I've hit a wall lately, which stinks because I need to get Debris cut together and finished before June. At least, I'd like to get it cut together and finished before June, but for whatever reason whenever I try to work on the film, something comes up. OH, I NEED TO WORK OUT. OH, I NEED TO FINISH MY TAXES. OH, I NEED TO PLAN A WEDDING. OH, I SHOULD WATCH THIS ANIME.
<P>
There's also the fact that I'm relatively new to After Effects, and while I can cut together a <i>basic</i> verion of the film, I want better than just "basic." I want to make sure it shines. There are apparently all manner of effects and tricks you can do with AEfx, but right now I can't even figure out how the hell to fade out on a scene. Ugh.
<P>
So - if you're reading this, you know After Effects, and perhaps you wouldn't mind sharing some skills, hit a lady up! debrisfilm@gmail.com, or go to www.facebook.com/debrisfilm and tell me all about your vectors and your framing quotients and your alpha channels. I need to know! I must know! Time is ticking, and June is closing in...Annearkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283563252403399516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786574571381295998.post-59385443872478694932011-12-14T09:26:00.000-08:002011-12-14T09:30:18.931-08:00Debris animation is finished!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Holy gods. I have climbed the mountain, and it is made of AVIs.
<P>
Yesterday morning I exported the last scene in my pile of "scenes to animate." Three and a half years of drawing, planning, dreaming, wallowing in insecurity and self-loathing, fighting off cats, fighting computers and Flash, and learning more about the film-making process than I've ever before...if not finished, then well on its way to being so.
<P>
I've got a new mountain to climb now, and it's called "Notes and Fixes." And "Editing." And "Promotion and distribution to film festivals," and "Music," which is where these next two shout-outs come in:
<P>
Edie Nugent, my favorite lady from New York, is a PR goddess who's currently in the process of pulling my countless blogs/FB pages/websites for "Debris" into something resembling a coherent whole. Edie's a powerhouse, and she's going to be helping me out a lot in the next few weeks - keep an eye out for some new and exciting stuff on the blog and the FB page!
<P>
And Dave Zumsteg/Davey Rockets, LA musician and guitarist extraordinaire, is currently working out some tunes for the film! I send him various youtube videos of random songs I like and he turns them into some amazing stuff...I am SO excited to see everything put together. Dave is in several bands, and you can check them all out on one handy webpage <a href="http://www.wix.com/442studios/home#!the-bands">here</a>.
<P>
There will also be a DEBRIS KICKSTARTER coming in the new year, to raise funds for said composer and PR rep, as well as production costs, animators, a webpage re-design, and a few other things. Keep your eyes out for a link in early 2012!Annearkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283563252403399516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786574571381295998.post-43254878447621305482011-10-11T22:33:00.000-07:002011-10-11T22:33:04.350-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Oh look look look at what I've gone and done.

I haven't gone and spammed everyone with a link yet; I'm still woozy from the vast array of spam I sent out about my gallery show this Saturday. I'll wait until next week to alert everyone in the known universe about it. But you, faithful blog readers. You get to see first!

I'll have some non-Debris related collages on display at Co op 28, in Los Angeles starting next weekend! Opening reception is Saturday, October 15. The reception corresponds with a neighborhood block party and "open house" of sorts. <a href="http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=122324217871031">Here are all the details.</a>
<P>
The new pieces look a lot like clown barf, although it's the good sort of clown barf, if there is such a thing.
<P>
Still steadily working on Debris. Every morning, for at least an hour. It's into the home stretch now; I'm excited.

It is what, February? I am so awesome at blog updating, you guys. <br /><br />It's my shiny new new years' resolution to get Debris finished by the end of the year. So, in order to do that, I have enlisted a few other artists and friends to animate some scenes. They will use their art ninja skills and make Debris look amazing! <br /><br />Without further ado, please welcome my first two animators:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.ariemonroe.blogspot.com/">Arie Monroe</a>, from Kansas City, MO. Look at her awesome sexy pinups! <br /><br /><a href="http://www.kwaddell.com">Katherine Waddell</a>, from Boston, MA. Mad design and illustration skills!

Animation continues to chug along. I'm curious where I'll be by the end of the year, especially since I'll be working full-time (FINALLY!!!)for the first 4 months of 2011. Time to get some scenes out of the way before things get biz-zay.<br /><br />Politically = I've been largely ignoring the 9/11 related politics as of late. Get caught up in petty rumors and arguments, and you lose sight of the gravity of what actually happened: Three thousand people ceased to be alive within the span of a few hours.<br /><br />I see it as a day to be quiet a minute for those people, and maybe give my dad a call.

Here's some animation I just finished today. The main character is losing his mind! And knocking over chips! Oh em gee! <br /><br />I actually have a question I'll pose here, if anyone knows the answer - eventually, when I finish "Debris," I'd like to take it around to festivals, contests, etc. I'm concerned about posting more animation online, since a lot of these organizations frown on making stuff public before it's "aired." Then again, I also like sharing my work in progress with everyone...I think it's important, and it helps to motivate me.<br /><br />Anyone had any experiences with this before? Should I plan on having to take down my blog/trailer in a couple of years when the film is finished and ready to be sent out? Am I already screwed because I have a production blog? If anyone's familiar with this, please enlighten me.Annearkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283563252403399516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786574571381295998.post-79326490109379455052010-04-27T22:50:00.000-07:002010-04-27T22:56:01.849-07:00Wow!<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwB-8SDBIXznm2sY8TPEYu7e5-590Yi3CL6aiPvkCSnMxAnY9BjSDepc55m8Mt6b4M0pu_pzGuUZLB6RvdV5w' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Almost five months of silence on the Debris blog?

Watching it makes me happy, and keeps me motivated to FINISH THE FILM AT SOME POINT.<br /><br />Yes kids, this self-indulgent little romp is a work in progress. Goal for the next 3 weeks is to get the rest of these trailer scenes animated, so I'll have something to put up on the website I fully intend to build once I get a minute.<br /><br />The music used is "Pepita," from Calexico's album "Feast of Wire." Haunting, lovely song; I think it works perfectly. I actually haven't given much thought to how I'm going to score Debris yet, but this track gives me a lot of inspiration. <br /><br />I'd love to hear your thoughts and impressions of the bits/pieces I've strung together so far...love it?

Honestly, it was mostly because color is one more (complicated) step in the production process, and I wanted to make a film I could realistically finish. I'm using color to embellish certain props, but other than that I'm sticking strictly to b/w. <br /><br />Then it occurred to me - the theme of the film has become "people on autopilot." Everyone goes around a little robotic, and nothing feels real. I think of "The Wizard of Oz," where the viewer doesn't really feel like they're "in" the story until the color appears. The main character isn't connected to the world around him until the end of the film. Why not use color to represent that? Why not color the last two scenes of Debris? <br /><br />Thanks, Ariel! :)Annearkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283563252403399516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786574571381295998.post-6326216430426738022009-09-11T15:49:00.000-07:002009-09-11T15:59:11.905-07:00Just a Note<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjweiirNtQXKaSY-I1HR3s6HXGKycvi_RaQ6_3MezMI4YnNX301a4hY8jc3Oys4hffbgJ1QSLU4rrSohJGAwki7NytmK0YzBc_pR2lWpjI3RGxXoRzRNassqP-i-GxoiL_tImvygjDD1zQ2/s1600-h/screengrab01.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 270px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjweiirNtQXKaSY-I1HR3s6HXGKycvi_RaQ6_3MezMI4YnNX301a4hY8jc3Oys4hffbgJ1QSLU4rrSohJGAwki7NytmK0YzBc_pR2lWpjI3RGxXoRzRNassqP-i-GxoiL_tImvygjDD1zQ2/s400/screengrab01.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380347248028831458" /></a><br /><br />How weird that today is the first day in a couple of weeks that I've had time to work on animation again...<br /><br />I was feeling uninspired and busy with other stuff, but I took some time to re-watch the animatic (again,) and it reminded me why I wanted to make this short in the first place. It's a dark subject, but I'm drawn to it. It fascinates me, and I can only hope that I'm capturing it well, and doing it justice.<br /><br />Thinking of you today, Dad.

A couple things I'm noticing as I'm starting to amass a pile of scenes that link together...<br /><br />1. Main Character seems unemotional? Make him sleepier, especially in the longer scenes. It's 2:04 AM, dude needs some heavy eyelids. (note to self - revisit That One LONG Pain in the Ass Scene I Wasn't Happy With Anyway and re-do it, with exhausted gusto.) <br /><br />2. Main Character's model is morphing slightly from scene to scene. I really didn't have a model pack when I started this, I just sorta dove in with a couple sketches and a rough idea of what he looked like. Good thing? Bad thing? "Artistic" thing? (Note to self - wait until production ends, several years in the future, THEN go back and fret over old, "crappy" drawings. Cry a little, while tweaking nose size in earlier scenes.) <br /><br />3. Looking at all the finished scenes I've accomplished so far is - despite the mistakes I spot - really, really, really fantastic. :)Annearkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283563252403399516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786574571381295998.post-39016643905724315972009-08-24T16:01:00.000-07:002009-08-24T16:09:07.977-07:00Non-debris related post!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihVCrqlah3-Knw2rvSDi26_2QQlN8iyGZIZ7RSOYIpicBB1_JtxhirZpdSFqwWTEquosB5iP5n7envfiXSvqNLhWgaC_wRcd2aaUd7u_bacSEKGfU2wreVvToRHda61x2qJfPCxbJ-RwuC/s1600-h/meltdown2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihVCrqlah3-Knw2rvSDi26_2QQlN8iyGZIZ7RSOYIpicBB1_JtxhirZpdSFqwWTEquosB5iP5n7envfiXSvqNLhWgaC_wRcd2aaUd7u_bacSEKGfU2wreVvToRHda61x2qJfPCxbJ-RwuC/s400/meltdown2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373670846965306802" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvsfeI0705h87DGYO4qERxewoEBRS_My_Oahr-hf6XmITv3YB0vHany0vmHPvQd9oV9RgSDKqOVZHJOHxfghJgpns_JMkNOr0bh5Nm_2Jr3O4yR_Bmjo1aR9brrv8k5ipNWSE_MrP3l8d/s1600-h/meltdown1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 267px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBvsfeI0705h87DGYO4qERxewoEBRS_My_Oahr-hf6XmITv3YB0vHany0vmHPvQd9oV9RgSDKqOVZHJOHxfghJgpns_JMkNOr0bh5Nm_2Jr3O4yR_Bmjo1aR9brrv8k5ipNWSE_MrP3l8d/s400/meltdown1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5373670841424628434" /></a><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Photos by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/lissabt/3849859506/in/set-72157622122362008/">Lissa Treiman</a>. </span><br /><br />NON-DEBRIS-RELATED UPDATE!<br /><br />I have some art on the wall at Meltdown Gallery with the GirlsDrawinGirls "Girls of Summer" show!

I really like the feel of the film a lot more now...the line between hallucination/reality is suitably blurred, but (hopefully) not to a point that will leave the audience completely baffled. At least, not baffled in a <span style="font-style: italic;">bad</span> way.<br /><br />That's one of the great things about working on something that's not a TV production...I can do things like go back and cut entire sequences, and no one gets pissed! HA! <br /><br />ALSO - in Non-Debris Related News, <span style="font-weight:bold;">GirlsDrawinGirls</span> (the art collective I am a part of) will be exhibiting at <span style="font-weight:bold;">COMICON 2009 - booth 5428</span>!! Come by and say hi and check out some sassy pinup art drawn by sassy ladies. I will not be there this year, unfortunately, as I will be careening down the Colorado River in a rubber raft, 50 miles from a paved road. Wooo!<br /><br />Here's a rough cut of Sc. 8! <br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dwh7hga3zwHARK6o0ruX1m5ojsaDRaWsWrR1sE7w39fnHvuvr6HrY61LZuwNIveEFKm4uxKTdO4QcsQB7R_sw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe>Annearkyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06283563252403399516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1786574571381295998.post-10597924037650124232009-06-25T21:04:00.000-07:002009-06-25T22:55:10.522-07:00Animation Goodness<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxfNknmbLFFv1RzxAG9iSQ2FI_wR2VKukX52sRf2kAVWharPK5ajQAkktYg2mbtsBvacOut0RgRElcwfMYEWg' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe><br /><br />Just chuggin away at animation! Here's Sc1...skunky goodness!<br /><br />It's traditionally animated, in Flash. The animation is limited, but what movement there is, I've decided will be done the ol' fashioned way. I rough out the sequence on one layer, clean it up on another, and then use the fill tool to color.
