It's a Big Thing - Macquette

My final project last semester was my first attempt at 3D minatures since the tipi and longhouse I made in Grade 5. It's the 3D version of this drawing. It's meant to be seen in the dark - it has LEDs in the background and in the little lamps. I also made an experimental short stop motion animation using the set and figures (see below).

Green Capes

A selection of photos from this past season's Tree Planter's Ball once the sun came up. High lights include performances from our resident entertainers: the 9 o'clock show with Jacqueline and incredible feats of human capability by Callum including running and jumping into a small tree naked and the other which will remain undescribed. 

I also have a bunch of video from this night/morning that I need to attempt to make into something.

A Green Peaks Birthday

This year for my birthday I got a two day party! It was epic. People were hilarious. We made a Temple Grandin Squeeze Machine. I had two delicious dinners in the same night. We danced and I got to DJ. The weather was perfect. It was day off. Best birthday ever. Here are my favorite shots, I'll post the rest elsewhere later...

More summer photos to come before the end of the month.

I Heart Blue Berries

I've got some catching up to do from the summer... here's some blue berry picking from July in the Vancouver burbs. 

 

 

BIG small

Finally, another short comedy by Jacqueline and I. You could say this is the prequel to 'Golden Wedding'.
