Dorothy of OZ - The Animatic Editing Phase

I like puzzles.  A couple of weeks ago I did a 1,000 piece puzzle of San Diego with my kids. It was fun, and when it was finished we felt like we'd really accomplished something.

Before we started though, it was intimidating to look down at the island in our kitchen and see 1,000 pieces extracted from the box, half of them upside-down, waiting to be connected with the rest.  I also noticed how much space I needed on the island for all the pieces when they were not put together yet.  It was like twice the space. 

The Secret Behind Han Solo’s Dropped Cargo

Daniel Smith has created this animated short, The Solo Adventures. Pretty good fan short.



Thanks to Collider for the initial post.

Dorothy of Oz

It's been a long time since my last post, and a big reason for the delay has been my latest gig. I'm Associate Editor on an animated feature called "Dorothy of OZ". It's based on the sequel written by Roger Baum, great-grandson of Frank Baum, author of the classic, "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz".  Click the "read more".

They've done it again. Dove has been busy making some very important short films directed at communicating what real beauty is... and isn't. Here's a great one. It's about 1 minute long.

It's Never Too Late to Learn a New Skill

Well, today became the first day for me to be credited for my work in the Picture Editor category on television. Up to now, I have been in the sound departments for many animated TV shows on WB and Cartoon Network, like The Justice League, The Batman, Teen Titans, Duck Dodgers, etc, etc...

Septum Surgery is A Lot of Fun

Ooooowwwwww! For years now, I've been told I have sleep apnea, and a massively deviated septum. I guess I lived with it long enough to want to do something about it.

Yesterday, I had my face amputated. At least, that's what it feels like.

I can't imagine going through something like this for purely cosmetic reasons, yet people do that everyday. Bottom line is that surgifying your body for any reason takes it's toll.

The good news is that the docs say it went well, and as soon as the agony of recovery is over, I'll breathe like a new man.

I'm looking at it like a trade: a bit of misery for breathing while I sleep, a chance of snoring less (Chana rejoices), and perhaps an enhanced sense of smell.
