My Gratitude

Tue Dec 30, 2008, 10:47 AM
  • Mood: Delighted
  • Listening to: Acceptance - So Contagious
  • Playing: Lost Odyssey
I just wanted to say Thank You, to everyone for all their comments and appreciation for "To The Sun". It was honestly very unexpected - considering I haven't been very active on my page as of late - and took me by surprise.

And a special thanks to =BlueStef for suggesting it as a Daily Deviation and ^guruubii for featuring it. Much appreciated!

I'm extremely glad everyone enjoys it as much as they do and that I was able to truly give some of you a memorable experience, and an impression of freedom and nostalgia.

As a filmmaker and animator I am unable to see my finished work in its final form with fresh and hopeful eyes. I only see it through a critical and constructive perspective. I don't want to say all the magic is lost, but I'll never be able to view or feel that magic from my own work for the first time as all of you have. So it really, truly brings me extreme joy and pride when people are able to feel what I would've liked to feel myself if I were able to witness my work unfold with the newness of unexposed eyes.

Thank you all very much indeed. I am humbled by all of your praise and appreciation. =)

I'll have to do a better job with updating my gallery from now on it seems...hahaha.

On that note...if any of you are interested in the current project I'm working on (my Thesis film) you are welcome to view my progress here, at my blog dedicated to it:

I'm sort of halfway done with it, but I do need all the help I can get, so comments and critique on anything and everything are extremely welcome. =)

Thank you all again!

I go to University of Southern California. Good school for film production overall, but it's geared more toward the business/industry/networking aspect of it, rather than the art of film. The undergraduate animation program here is fairly new only like 2 or 3 years. The way they teach though is a lot less technical skill and more so creative thinking. They want to create directors not industry cogs, so if you're looking for something that nurtures your technical drawing and animating abilities I'd suggest a school like Cal Arts.

I realized I can no more stand the stupidity of my classmates. As intelligent as an individual might seem, you can make a group of geniuses, but together, they will not be smarter than an infant.

Congratulations for the well-deserved daily deviation.

Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift, thats why we call it the present. ♥

I just have to say that "To the Sun" was absolutely amazing. I loved the flow, the artwork, and the music. I can't wait to see more animations/Art that you create.
