today was the last day of my first 'week' at plexipixel studios . for those of you who don't know i was accepted as a paid intern at a local flash and 3d animation studio. their website is [link] . they have animators, web designers, coders, painters and graphic designers there that have worked on a ton of amazing stuff, most recently microsoft's World Wide Telescope, a program that lets you look at galaxies and star systems and crap like that (like google earth but imo i like this one better). but they predominantly do games and animations which are all on their site.

i am working with and we got put on a brand new flash animation project. we are animating a comic of a popular author who's name i am not allowed to reveal. it's a really strange and interesting style, definitely nothing i have done before. if all goes well we will have a finished cartoon or at least a cartoon ready for post production work done by the end of the summer. things would go faster if we worked monday through friday, but due to limits put on us by the school (we are only allowed to work 15 hours a week according to them but we work 24 anyway. we can only work 3 days out of the week though) it is going to be a little slower. still, the equipment there is great. top of the line machines and a wacom 21UX on a turntable so it's just like a lightboard. the studio is in a house-turned-office, so it's also a fun work environment. the employees are cool too, only about a dozen of them, probably a couple more than that. it's downtown so i have to take the bus there, that kind of sucks, but it's to save money and it means i can move around a lot downtown without having to pay $893745938475 for parking.

anyway yeah. whenever the cartoon gets done, it'll be great for my resume, portfolio, and i'll be able to show it to everyone of course. hopefully the comic artist will like it as well.

also i know i haven't submitted anything in a while.. actually i finished a cartoon a few days ago but i can't upload it yet because it's a surprise for something uhhh sorry about all these dumb secrets but you'll all know soon enough. i think i can upload it soon i dunno. anyway if there's ever another dry streak like this just know there's always a reason for it. in the mean time i am going to relax for the rest of today because i am exhausted from all the mass transit that has invaded my life this week. peace!
