Alive again...


Hi everybody!

I cannot believe that 3 months have passed already... and that I didn't write anything on this blog during this time. Taking some time off was heavily needed and I now know that this was the right decision. With Siggraph coming up this month and several projects coming up I used my time wisely to gain some strength for the upcoming months.

Well, what should I start with? How about some information about "The ugly duckling and me"? First of all, as many of you may know, there is a teaser-trailer on aFilms-homepage (CLICK HERE). Secondly, there is a German article about the project featuring Rick Cavanian as the main character (a quite famous German comedian which I really like). You can find the article here.

Other than that... I'm still struggeling whether I can afford to go on with AM. Yes, it is a harsh reality that this costs money =) and I still have to pay tax this year - we will see after I did my tax stuff this year and then I will decide.

A lot has happenend in the last 3 months. I visited Annecy for instance which was a terrific experience... I think, everyone who likes animation should come there at least once in his lifetime.

Anyway, just wanted to say: I'm back and alive again!!! And things haven't changed: animation is the best thing one can do for earning a living!

TTYL and God bless to all of you,

Alex

Duu-hu-huude! What's up? Hope you've been enjoying your break, and everything's going better by now! I'll be seeing you at Siggy, though! Got hired as a 30h housing-receiving SV, and I'll add a few days of NY to that afterwards. It's gonna rock!

I struggled a lot last quarter, and I'll be working 4 weeks and I'll be away for 2 weeks too, but my mentor's none other than Sergio Pablos this time! 2D mentor, AND one of the best in the world! It's gonna rock! And maybe... just maybe... I'll finally start a blog too ;-)
