Script Writer

So I met with my script writer today for my senior project!!! I am sooo excited to get this started.  Once she lays out the plot line I can start building my sets.  I am going to learn everything I can about compositing this summer and anything I can get my hands on!!!

I started redesigning my portfolio web site and will be buying back my old domain name.  so soon www.myvisualreality.net will be back up and running!!

Career Fair

Today a group of friends and myself went to the SCAD career fair.  Even though I do not have a solid portfolio and just figuring out what kind of job I want when I graduate I did not bring anything with me.  But I did see a hand full of company that I did not know about and now have more research to do.  Also I know what to look forward to for next year.  I am glad I went, it was a good next step.

I have started to put my thoughts into my senior project.  As scary as it is that I will graduate in a year I am really excited for this project!  I am going to start building my sets and things I will need for the project this summer. I will share more details as they come but for right now it is still under wraps.

 I just finished the first two pages of my Renderman website.  The professor has the class put all their work online so if you want to keep up on my Renderman here is the website.  I will make reference to it later on too as the quarter goes on.

It is a different kind of work flow but it has been really cool to learn.  I explain alot of it in my site but if you have any questions just ask!!!

First Day

Hello

This is my first blog and first post. Let get started.

I am a junior at Savannah College of Art and Design. I have a Associate degree in 3D Animation and am currently working on my Bachelor degree in Visual Effects. When I get out of school I want to get a job in compositing.

There is a lot going on in my life right now. First I do not live in Savannah. My home is in Michigan. So keeping up with life up there is sometimes a full time job :D When I am not talking on the phone I enjoy to read!!! I love to loose myself in other peoples lives. I love to play games card/board/video games. I also cross stitch, yeah I agree it is kinda weird and I still do not know how I can do it when I have ZERO patience. In school currently I am talking three studio classes. A matte painting class, Pixar's Renderman and Compositing so I am learning Nuke. I have also been asked to help with a short animation with some artists back home so I am really looking forward to starting that in my off time and this summer!!

At home I have two kids. One is nine years old and her name is Cleo. And a three year old named Morgan. Cleo and Morgan are a cat and a dog :D but they are all I need right now!!! Cleo hates me when I come home from school and Morgan pees all over me......but what can you do :P I have a younger brother and an older brother who is married. My parents live about 30 mins away from my boyfriend and I so I still get to see them when I come home.

I added some of my art work to my other page make sure you check it out!!! More to come later on :D Enjoy

I think that is good for now!!
