The Gang Runs a 5k
{ June 23, 2009 | Film | (0) Comments >> }
This is a short film for a 5k "skirmish" in Hartford last Thursday. This wasn't your typical race as it involved steep inclines and stairs, but then again, we're not your typical runners as our training usually consists of a quick video game session followed by a round of beers. Honestly, going into this thing without any training wasn't as bad as it sounds. The 5k is the perfect distance for "wannabe" runners like myself to not train and still be able to make the finish line.
So we were pretty happy finishing somehwere in the 50 percentile, especially when watch the video and see where we started.

The Best Video Game Intro Ever?
{ June 15, 2009 | Animation | Video Games | (1) Comments >> }
There's been a lot of buzz about the intro cartoon for the The Beatles Rock Band video game. You may notice a familiarity between the animation style of this and a Gorillaz music video. That's because it was created by some of the same people responsible for the band's popular cartoon videos. The game's intro starts off in a small club in Liverpool and then brings you on a trip with The Beatles as they travel the world. I think the best part of the animation however, is the good ol' acid trip scene. Let's hear it for tea parties on the top of elephant heads while leading a marching band of fish playing violin teeth.

Intro scene for Gopher it. This was a highlight film we created for the 2005 Springfield College Wrestling Team. It commemorates the seasons best matches, moves and memories. We're currently working on a site dedicated to the 4 feature films created for the SC Wrestling team including the much anticipated return of Daryl and the Gang. For now, just enjoy the trailer.
Kayak Across the Pacific Ocean?
{ June 8, 2009 | Random | Technology | (3) Comments >> }
Cornally sent me a link from one of his co-workers this morning looking for directions from an address in Fairfield Connecticut to one in Newtown Connecticut. The above image is the result, a multi-day row-fest through the Pacific Ocean.
There's some really nice things happening here, like once you hit Japan the directions are in Japanese. But my favorite has got to be when Google Maps tells you to "Kayak across the Pacific Ocean." Oh, it should only take 56 days and 7 hours.
Here's a direct link to check it out for yourself: http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=s_d&saddr=425+wormwood+rd+fairfield+ct+06824&daddr=4+Primrose+Street+newtown+ct&hl=en&geocode=&mra=ls&sll=37.649034,-95.712891&sspn=52.958718,106.787109&ie=UTF8&z=3
Some Old/New Artwork
{ June 7, 2009 | Digital Art | Products | (7) Comments >> }
Here's a project that, as the title states, is a little bit of old and new work. I actually created the original digital file for this about 3 years ago? The picture was taken from a "Cheesy Sweater" Christmas Party back in school (thank you Ft. Pleasant for a beautiful venue).
This was originally created in photoshop and was not created in a vector program. I didn't want straight lines that a vector program usually makes. I like the way you could get a wavy line by being able to manipulate each pixel rather than the smoothly (what the hell does that mean) feel of a vector line.
With all that being said, I am now stuck recreating the image as a vector file (I knew that was going to come back to bite me in the ass). But the plan is to get this to a usable size to print on my next Snowboard!
This is step 1 in the project. I'll have updated posts about the evolution as they come. Looking for some comments, hopefully people dig it... maybe not... let me know.
