Half o' Summer updating

I haven't felt like blogging much lately, probably because Twitter and Tumblr have become my new best internet friends.

I have attempted creating my own website, well temporary one for the moment:

Cargocollective.com/AmbarNavarro

I was actually getting really stressed about getting a website but then realized, I should just be patient and wait until I find someone who can help me make a really nice designed one.

This summer has been non-stop 5 week 8 am - 3:30 of Summer School of French and Government that is finally now over!!! I am not a morning person AT ALL.

Anyways, now for UPDATES!!!

My film "Bored Girl" screened at the San Antonio Film Festival, which led to some radio press at the local college station here in town, 90.1

I think the radio interviews went well, beside from me being a tiny (any by tiny i mean a lot) awkward.

My Film "RED" will be screened at  this years NSA (National Stereoscopic Association) Gallery July 25 - 30th in Costa Mesa: 

and last but not least I am teaching a 2 week animation workshop at Austin Film School:

Week I have no idea

Tomorrow me and my bf head to Texas! And on that note, please enjoy this Gif made of him at graduation:

But now finally posting my final films!

"Bored Girl" - (1:05) This was my final for my Stop-Mo basics class, I hated animating this puppet but I think for a days worth of shooting I got a good short film about teen angst out of it.



"Aunt Patsy" - (2:19) My final cut-out film! Made this in 1 week, super rushed and had to make an alternative ending that actually worked out better I think, anyways the voice actress on this was incredible and pretty much makes the whole film!  This film may go on private very soon..




"RED" - (1:39) This film requires a red filter to reveal the bottom layers, I wanted to make a film about my 1st year at calarts with 1st year students.  Weirdly enough this film came out very personal to me and has a few small hidden images that are easy to miss.




I still have tons more of vids and pics to post but as for now enjoy my final calarts pieces! I will also have my mini pet store film finished with sound editing hopefully within a month so I can post that up online too!

Trying to blog. Ahhh

crazy, crazy shoot animating miniatures a few millimeters big.

Also, here is my world's smallest set-up:

(I used up 2 of those air cans, Macro lenses can be your enemy!! and best friend :)

And now because I am insane, I am shooting my entire cut-out film in 1 week.

Also my work is displayed at the Film/Video Office here:

What did I do over spring break? WORK, go to the batting cages, Johnny Rockets, sleep in, and watch 3 seasons of Mad Men but still, mainly worked on my cutouts.
