Tweet, tweeter, tweet tweet.

*ahem*… so I’ve set up a Twitter.

So all page updates and post’s will appear there, as well as my facebook. How nifty. That means if you add me on facebook, or like our page; then choose to follow me on twitter, all the while reading what’s going on here via the notifications and updates on those 3 mediums… then you are indeed in “the loop”… possibly more so than I am.

Alternatively, you can stick to just following one in order to know what new stuff appears here. But in this day and age, everything connects to everything else. Kinda like a maze where in the middle is cheese, but it’s a easy maze and all you do is keep turning left until you get to the cheese and then enjoy the tasty cheese as reward for your efforts… I’m going to go get some cheese now.

More updates and stuff to come.

Aforementioned links
– Facebook Profile (because friends are good)
– Facebook Like Page (because it’s like having an acquaintance)
– Facebook Group (because chatting with other people following the group, as well as contributing members, is like having a family of good friends)
– Twitter (for those who get their info in a electronic-medium resemblant of that one person with all the latest gossip at work)

(and apparently there’s an RSS feed sub thingy up the top of this page and/or bottom, and don’t forget each members Youtube’s, DeviantArt’s, etc, which can be explored via the About page… gosh this is a long update. I need more coffee.)

Before I do make my update, sorry for forgetting to post up the next section in Samurai 220, and I do apologise that the gap between last post and this are way apart. Or at least that’s how it feel to me. If they aren’t that far apart as it feels, then that mean all I need to do is get online tonight, hope my laptop works, and post up the next chapter.

But onto buisness!! The tutorials I mentioned a while back are now 2 1/2 weeks from release. Two even have studio quality voice dub on them too. The other 3 (hopefully 3 more will be ready) may be lucky if I can organise more time to go down and get more recordings from them. if not, then there’ll be average quality. But the way I see it, so long as the information is there then all is well.

Also to note is upcoming client ork due. Our class is collaborating with the TV group down at Elgar Campus (which if you aren’t aware, I study at Whitehorse campus in Box Hill, Vic, Elgar is a 10-15 min walk down from it). Our job is to make graphics packages for them, and I’ve been lucky enough to score two clients. I’m happy about it. BUT, I do have a limit time, so I might just accidentally miss more posts and updates back on here, so please don’t be annoyed at that, as I do try my hardest.

On a final note before I get back to my work, I will put some time this weekend to make the “Page of Wisdom” more… err… wisdomy, and for those interested, the latest World9-4 is up as of saturday, which makes me slow on the ball to make a note on that, so me posting a link is probably a little pointless for those who do follow it. But here it is anyway. LINK!!

Hopefully more soon and post up of work.

Because World 9-4 are happy customers (and also happen to be good frineds of mine), we’ve decided to collaborate further.

They do the podcast’s and such, while I handle any new graphics and animations they might require. And the deal is I get a mention where they are present, and they get a mention through here. But, for aided convenience, I’m also going to link up an episode of World 9-4 right here each week. Which gives you all another thing to look forward to, and gives me something else to add to the website.
Otherwise it’d just be a site with the odd video and picture, with weekly novel updates, and me making the odd post… which is kinda what a blog’s for anyway.

Regardless, do enjoy.

Episode 6: Part 2

And don’t forget to sub to the new Studio Wisp channel so you don’t miss out on what videos and tutorials will eventually come. 😉

I’m going to see if I can get my original Youtube account to be changed to a different title. But I may instead opt for making a new account instead of changing the screen name from “Hell Scyth”. Yeah, that online name is from real old days.

If I do opt for making a Studio Wisp Specific page (which I’m thinking is the way to go), then I will re-upload related works, and since I’m still saving my Data Limit here by using it as my portal for videos, the future Lightwave tutorials when compiled and with permission given, will appear there.
I’ll post up tomorrow when I get the decision.

Something has gone wrong and currently the only method of navigation is using the messy bar along the right display of the website, instead of the convenient navigation drop-downs up the top.

Please ignore the random theme changes, miss-placed widgets and lay-outs and any other random nonsense while I play doctor and fix things up again.

Also to come, I feel like making an inspiration page, filled with what I find inspiring and if I’m in the mood, a reason why. Hopefully the things I find can inspire you all as well.

-EDIT-
And it’s fixed… not sure what was going on, but it’s fixed.

Well, I’ve been at AG Idea’s 2011 this past week from Tuesday onward to Thurs, and during it I’ve been enjoying the refreshing perspectives on design from a multitude of talents and point of views.

Has this inspired me? Well, I’d say it has. Though what I conjure up during my sleep-deprived hysteria of creativity of the course of the week following while my mind is still bubbling freshly with imagery is not something I can say is known, and wont be known until it happens, at which point however, I must note that the reasons behind whatever comes up may very well not be known.

And if that got you a little confused, then try reading it backwards, then read it normally. Repeat until you gt your own meaning, or perhaps you will get so reveled up in confusion that you can express it in your own imaginative way.

… see what I did there?… no, that’s a legit question. Please tell me.

But in other news, there is an odd collaboration of though within a group composing of me, my partner, and a couple of friends, that we dress up as Penguins and roam about Melbourne asking people where we can find some ice and fish, with the concept for our operation to be gaining awareness for the Melbourne aquarium. Or, so at least we would hope so. But this is all random discussion, and it can go either way, but I am deeply considering going up to the manager there and proposing this idea, and if they’re happy, perhaps they can provide some suits, rather than us having to make oddly fashion tailored suits from Tux’s, bow ties, and whatever we can find for a beak.

On a last note I’d like to note that any further note is a note in which we may note the notice of changes.
Think about it, and you tell me what you think it means? And if you live in Melbourne and know somewhere where Penguin costumes are available, pop me a message, and I will send you a magical reply message of happy thank you which comes with a free imaginary ice-cream.

That’s right, I have 2 more days of work before my semester break, which means 2 weeks of time to complete work. I’ve got some fresh ideas brewing, and now even some Matte Painting to complete. Something I’m not entirely great at, but I’ll certainly give it my best shot, even if the image will only be used for a short time in a scene.

Also thinking on a little Easter animation, just as soon as I work out how to make better use of the particles and hyper voxels within lightwave to make something… “creamy”… If I can somehow pul that rabbit out of a hat, it should effectively stimulate the receptors in the brain that command that you eat… particularly, “rich, gooey caramel flowing lusciously from smooth milk chocolate”.

… now I’m feeling a little bit peckish at that thought, I’ll finish this post and go grab a snack to FUEL CREATIVITY!!
