Timing and Spacing

Well, I've got a basic website up. It's located at the root of the domain, or here for the link.

There's been an "Under construction" page there forever, which I guess my provider placed there for me. For the last few days, there's been a rough set of pages that I created with the web app that my provider makes available called "Site Creator". I didn't really like it because it kept losing my pages. They'd show up on the web, but when I went to the site map in the editor they wouldn't be there, so I couldn't edit them.

I looked around at other packages, mainly Joomla. It looked interesting, but it looked like a beast to install. So, I opted for Microsoft Publisher. Not sure I like the look and I definitely don't like the on-disk layout of the pages, but I'll see about customizing that stuff as I go. I probably won't provide any links to the interior until I get that stuff figured out.

As I was putting my demo reel together, more than once I thought that I should post fragments of the reel or my thought processes, or progress reports, or whatever.

So, as I work on new stuff, I'm going to start posting it to this blog. If nothing else, it should help me post more regularly.

The student film I worked on (pretty much fulltime from Jan '05 though Sept '05 and then part-time until around June '06) is up on YouTube. I did most of the rigging, a lot of the scripting and a number or other random things (an effect here and there, a little bit of animation) for the film. A ton of other really talented people worked really hard on it as well.

Check it out:

This is just the temp score; Hummie Mann and his students will be doing the final score. I've heard August '07 is when it will be finished.

Well, I'm still alive. I imagine after all this time, I've probably lost all my readers (both of them).

Anyway, one of the several projects that's been keeping me busy for the last few months has been finishing up stuff for my demo reel.

Here are some links to a variety of sizes and versions:

Demo Reel - 640x480 Quicktime (19meg)
Demo Reel - 640x480 AVI (48meg) not sure why this is so huge
Demo Reel - 320x240 Quicktime (6.5meg)
Demo Reel - 320x240 AVI (6.5meg)

I'm starting to look for a position as a character rigger, a tools programmer (MEL and/or C++ or C#), or a pipeline engineer.

Feel free to leave any feedback in the comments section. If you'd like to e-mail me, you can reach me at my gmail address, which is w.david.lewis. If you can't get the address from that, leave a comment and I'll contact you.

I'm going to try and start blogging again. Try and make it at least a weekly habit. Maybe that'll be my New Year's resolution.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!
