Sadness...

So, I wasn't able to sign up for more than 20 units this semester because I'm still working on a project from last semester. UGH. Anyway, I absolutely love all of my classes this semester, so, I guess I'm happy. 

Also, since I'm double majoring in lighting design and I wasn't able to take a couple required classes, they gave me 80 hours of production hours instead, which are mostly on weekends and late at night on week days. I get to hang shows and stuff. It's fun and dangerous, you can basically die whenever because you can fall from wherever you are or if someone drops something and you happen to be on a lower floor you're screwed. Still, I love the fact that every hang call is like a super extreme work-out session! And this is something I would NEVER get to experience in the animation department! hehe plus I get my own tools which (looks) super cool! .....ha.  

lala.

Diablito

This might be a character for my film this year. Or maybe a puppet for my puppet fabrication class. 

Dawn Davenport and "Down to the bone"

 Here´s a lazy sketch I made today of Dawn Davenport. I recently watched "Female Trouble" for like the thousand time sooo yeah. I am in love with John Waters and I love every single one of his films. 

Anyway, I'm backing up my files and I brought my bags to the studio because I´m going home tonight. I brought cookies for everyone today and I think they really enjoyed them. All the artists here are extremely talented and most of them are really young. I am so happy there are people doing this in Mexico, it's really inspiring. And of course, René is super nice. I really need to go back and tell everyone that I interned with René Castillo. He's awesome.

    I usually never post things that I didn't make, but I really want to post my favorite film by René. It's called "Hasta los huesos" Or "Down to the bone". The animation is seriously brilliant and the puppets are awesome. I got the chance to see them all personally and honestly, the quality of all the puppets is amazing! Anyway, here it is. Enjoy!

ps: My favorite part is when she sings. I looove the song.

Her frown...

So, this is another concept for my film. I want to do something really organic and graphic looking this year because last semester I made a big mistake wasting so much time layering all my drawings and to be honest, I didnt love the final result. So, this year, I want to focus on the line quality and graphic style more than the "finished look" (layered and shaded).

Beachy times and I am still working indoors.  

Tomorrow is my last day here in Guadalajara. I am super sad to leave the production. Everyone has been really good to me and I will miss this so much, but I am looking forward to working with all of them again in a near future.

Concepts for my film

I´m excited! :)

Harry Potter and my new glasses

 I never did a Potter drawing, so here it is before it's too late and no one remembers Harry Potter.

Also, turns out that I have been forcing my eyesight and if I don´t get glasses soon I could start losing my sight and then I will need to wear glasses all the time. So, I guess part time glasses are not too bad, at least my eyes won´t hurt anymore and I guess it should be fun to go shopping for a nice pair of glasses :)
