Well, I was looking for vietnam pics, but I stumbled on this demo reel and then it started loading and then I didn’t know what to do. My first reaction was to throw my laptop out the window, but I had a bug screen, so I had to watch it. And you know what? I really enjoyed it.

One thing, not that you should listen to me, but while I was reading what you did on the shot, I felt like I couldn’t watch (especially things like crowd layouts and short shots). Not that you need to do anything about it. I can’t really do 2 things at the same time. It’s kind of hard for mihsfhudgaopguphbjjfdaio . . .see, I just took a bite of my sandwich.

talk to you soon

I always knew you could light a fart. I miss the spiky hair dude. However, back on subject, you reel rocks !

Rebecca are you referring to Metropolis Light Transport the rendering algorithm, or our awesome still-to-be-formed epic prog rock band?

My reel could have definitely benefitted from some classic MLT-c.1978 keyboard jams. Would have solved Justin and Jason’s techno issue nicely as well. I’ll work on that.

I second that beard-related post request. But seriously, that kicked the pants off metropolis light transport!

Despite your defiance of the #1 rule in demo reels (no techno!), it looks good! Very stylish. We’d hire you in a second (although I suspect in different roles).

Visit your parents, they miss you!

More beard-related posts coming up in the not-too-distant future, assuming I am successful in my current beard endeavor.

I noticed! I like the crazy new layout, too. How very-very.

Very cool. Given the bits you were responsible for in the castle scenes and the jungle scenes, you have proved yourself a true flamer and a true ‘baller (respectively).

Now, if only you would bring back The Adventures of George Beard-nard Shaw.

Yeah we’re still working on the third act, and we havn’t quite figured out the villain yet. But there are fart jokes galore, and we got Missy Elliott to remix the credit song. It’s going to be huge!

But seriously, thanks for the comment Drew. I was kinda wondering if anyone would notice I’d started posting again.

This short had barely any character arc, and the lighting was all over the place from shot to shot. The animation style was somewhat inconsistent as well, as were the character designs. Are we in a park, or in the jungle! The scenes just didn’t hold together.

Flames looked good though.
