While I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed, reviewing an article I had to read for another IMM course helped me pinpoint exactly where I am in terms of my senior thesis project and where to go with the help of professors. I made a plan that would allow me to use the courses I am … Continue reading “-Alexix Public Thesis Update: Start of Spring Semester”

For my industry events, I decided to attend several online art shows on places like Eventbrite or just seeing links from people I followed on Twitter, in the beginning of the semester in order to find inspiration for a style for my animation.

Professional Event Report
For my report, I am reviewing a virtual live even I had attended. The event was THE SANDMAN UNIVERSE: ENTER THE DREAMING, an online panel hosted by writer Neil Gaiman and actor Yvette Nicole Brown.

Industry Event
Today I attended a zoom meeting that I found on Eventbrite. It was called “Creating the Short Film ‘Alone’ with DP Jimmy Matlosz” and the reason why I chose to attend this event was because there was a special emphasis on the lighting and camera work on the description of the event. While it is … Continue reading “Industry Event”

music of the week 7 I think
It’s just two songs in one video, but they’re two of the greatest songs ever. Wire are usually discussed in the context of their 70s albums (which deserve the praise they get, mind you). However, I’ve grown really fond of their 80s work, which gets a lot of crap for having really dated production and … Continue reading “music of the week 7 I think”
