Why hello there. I didn’t see you there. Admiring my new and shiny site. No, No.. Go on. Take it in. I know it is marvelous and practical, class compliant-y and all web standard-y, easy to update, and un-musty. Thank you. Thanks for checking it out.

New Stuff

Now that I’m staff at CobraCreative. Wait- let me just post the notice.

Notice this announcement is a bit dated already... In the style of the old site. Ah well. Where was I?

Now that I’m staff at Cobra, I realized my site didn’t exactly have to be a professional advertisement for me anymore. This is kind of nice. I can Blog, post personal links if I feel it, and generally relax with movecraft.com. I also have switched over entirely to Rapidweaver for my development. This means, I will never have to hand code anymore. All my knowledge was painfully outdated anyway, and this way I hopefully will be encouraged to frequently update with such an easy to use platform. Anyone can build a website with this here new-fangled software.

Other new stuff... You’ll notice I am still building the Boards section out slowly. I haven’t decided if it should just be motion boards or other graphic design. Also, dang, I don’t have much of either. I have been focusing for so long on learning C4D and AE that I kept getting paid to be a technical guy instead of an artist. This is rough because I don’t know if I will ever compete with the truly technical guys. I think that personally, I would love to focus once again on what brought me here in the first place – you know. Art. Pretty pictures. Maybe the Boards section will have photography too. Maybe I just renamed that section right here in this blog post.

I also have a Source Files section. I keep posting files to message boards and the like. It occurred to me that they might be useful actually posted somewhere. I also have been instructing at the Academy of Art University, and this semester have been putting together a Special Topics: Motion Graphics class for compositors. I keep referencing files, and, bandwidth permitting, could post some source file from that course. It’s turning into a monster- I have some dedicated and awesome students. I might require all of us to use Vimeo. I have set up a profile there. Working at an interactive firm is already making me realize how behind the curve I am in general web knowledge.

Finally, I am riding in AIDS Life Cycle this year. I have set up a page for everyone to donate, buy beer, and check out the cause.
