CG Shuffle

Watch CG Shuffle
(It will look like a white box unless you have the codec)
Trouble viewing?  Try getting VLC
or with QuickTime  Xvid Codec

What do you do with all those spare CG clips just hanging about
on your hard drive? Delete them. But first, throw them into
a movie to save.
All of what you see is rendered using Blender, an
open source (free) program from blender3d.org
check it out.


I should really run that experiment.
Post flyers for what I can help people
with and see who big a response I can get.
Give sample lectures and see what kind of interest
I can generate. 

Will my movies bite the dust when full school starts?
There is a good chance... but maybe not by as much as
I think.

Some ideas for creating movies are brewing for tomorrow.
I'm seeing that layout idea in my head.
But I'm also considering basket ball physics. 

I was surprised to find I have another subscriber to my
youtube movies. I'm very gradually collecting them aren't I?

This July has been a more technical month a for as programing
goes. But I haven't driven myself very deep into the python
scripting side of Blender. ... with 7 or so days left in
the month I suppose my attention should turn towards that sort
of thing. I know once I get started with it it's much easier
but I'm always lazy about beginning. 

I think I might story board some ideas... or search for any old
basket ball scripts or notes. 

Or maybe i could pull together another CG Collection. I keep piling
those things up. From particle explosions to animated Scissors. 

11:43 AM
That is not how I wanted to start out my day. Franticly looking
for information on abiotic factors that affect Half Moon Conures.
I could have done with out that 90 minute spree. And it had to be
done before 12. Dang. 

So now I feel tired but going back to sleep... eh what am I to
do?  Falling asleep on Sunday night is one of the hardest things
to do. 

12:36
I'm sure I'm going to have a lot of upcoming proto ventures.

I think the whole spending hours working on the design is good
for me. I think that the doing it for another person gives
me the motivation and I think that motivation to continue
to work on it gives my valuable experience.

I feel sad to walk away from a video editing venture that came
about so suddenly. I can now see the importance of transportation
to my future work what ever it may be.
Turning away from one thing makes me wonder about other things.

3:34 PM
"It's almost always a better idea

to stay up rather than to take the nap"

And I may feel tired but I stay up. And I notice that thinking
as long as there are things to think and wonder about keep
me up and about. Even it's a tired sort of thinking.
It turns it into a relaxed thought process.
