aerie holiday video

in the main lobby of American Eagle's corporate office, they have 27 plasma tv's set up (3 wide by 9 tall) where a video plays throughout the day. i am currently working on a section of the new video for the holiday season. i just got the video up on my site, so check it out

*here's a shot of the current video:

ARTimation...and other stuff

so, every year The Illinois Institute of Art-Schaumburg (ILIS) hosts a digital art festival (ARTimation) to showcase student work on a national level. judges are invited from across the U.S to judge the work and choose the winner in a designated category, such as Best 2D animation, Best Concept, Best Motion Graphic, Best Interface Design, etc. the selected pieces are shown (and the winners are annouced) at AMC Barrington Theater (175 Studio Dr., South Barrington, IL).

im very excited because my title sequence made the cut and will be shown in the Digital Video & Motion Graphics portion of the show! the festival is wednesday, oct 24th...so if you're able to make it, you should definitely come! :)

first entry

i figured it would be a good idea to get this blog up and running, to keep in contact with family and friends (those of you who are not glued to facebook like....me) i decided to use this template instead of creating my own, so that it will be easier to post new entries. that way i will probably do it more often :)
