This is my life. To sum up this semester, it's me running to music tech tutoring, autocadding nights with quique, now film club with sean, practically living with my boyfriend alvie, and trying to edit my final film any free minute I get.   Everything is going great.. just the usual stress.

Some work from my Programming and Visuals class.

(Put the volume UP! Programming Visuals to Music done in Quartz Composer)

(Done in Processing, changing color ball test)

(2nd Quartz Composer test, make cubes)

(My 1st Processing assignment, draw something)

I actually am starting to miss tumblr a lot.. Might switch blogs over.. :(

sad blog moment.. But in other news last weekend my boyfriend took me out on a Valentines dinner to Mozza, then spent Chinese new year in chinatown, and also headed over to Automata to see Janie Geiser's incredible puppet performance for, Clouded Sulphur.  These were the tiny houses I built for the show that were actually the only set pieces! I feel so lucky to have Janie as a mentor.

Here are the miniature set pieces I created for Janie's show, and boyfriend pics of course.

Stills from my film

Storyboard in Progress

In January it was also Puppet Cabaret hosted by Leah Olbrich.  This is the poster my friend Francesca made!

So pretty

Disneyland!

Going a bit out of order, this was November.

Our classmate and friend Shawna scored some free fast pass Disneyland tickets which meant- no lines!  This will probably be the best Disneyland experience of my life.  We had so much fun and I especially loved buying all the sugary sweets and getting on rides that I normally would have been too scared for.  My Thanksgiving this year was again spent at the Character Animation dinner, i'm most thankful for Amanda Candler, for being our mom figure and always feeding us.

My Thanksgiving! (texting my gf Ella, sorry babe)

Christmas Break '12

This break has been going okay so far!  I have watched more television series than any human should in a 1 week period, and I am actually working on my film!  I spent this weekend hanging out in LA and volunteering at the Automata theater downtown.  I also ate a delicious chicken biscuit sandwich at Brite Spot in Echo Park, everyone, GO THERE! It's amazing.  My Christmas was spent of course in the Butler building where I continued working on my film, working on Christmas is becoming some sort of tradition i'm creating.

Here are some photos of my progress:

(adding more pics soon)

and because I have an amazing boyfriend, he surprised me with this Christmas gift!!!  It was something I had been wanting for a while and we have decided to name him Alby. Thank you baaaabbee.
