For anyone who’s interested, I got 5 more invites for Skitch. So drop me a line if you are desirous!

Ah, this is a little late, but I thought I would post it anyways. This is the final title sequence for a short film called “twenty three.”

I have been working on an application to generate trees in preparation for my term project in Object Oriented Programming (flash) and Designing Physical Interfaces. It has been a lot of work and not the easiest to say the least; especially in as3. However, I recently had a bit of a breakthrough.

Yesterday was the first ever project slam at VFS. Arriving at 8:30 am, we had no idea what was going to happen except that we would need to produce a commercial and we would need to do it fast.

The time for the final project has begun. After my first meeting with Sergio Toporek, I’ve moved in a totally new direction and have become very excited about my project. However, it isn’t quite something I can discuss online here (me idea, if it goes well, should be awesome), so I’m afraid I will have to go on silent runnings for a while on that topic. I shall still keep ye folks updated on things and so forth and will be keeping journal entries; just won’t be making them visible for people to see. Upon completion of the project, I’ll open up the documentation! Please look forward to it.

A friend of mine gave me am invite to the Beta of a little program called Skitch. According to the site, Skitch “is an amazingly fun and super useful. Everyday we all share images, ideas and have fun with friends online — this should be easy… right!?” As a user of Photoshop and rather expectant of high quality in my imagery, I was a little unsure if this program would be useful to me. Well, I was certainly proved wrong!

For our Print Design class, we were supposed to do research into DVD packagings in preparation for doing our own design work. I spent around an hour in an HMV looking at special edition and regular DVDs but didn’t really find anything that really captured my attention. One item, the Scarface Limited Edition, had some interesting elements. So, I decided to see if there were any more photos of it online. With my searches, I stumbled upon Feed My Brain, a website documenting someone’s (I couldn’t find a name!) personal DVD collection including Film and TV special edition box sets. There are tons of images of all sorts of collections. I highly recommend looking at the site if you are looking for inspiration or simply to marvel at the collected works from around the world. From that site, I came across Skull Face, a site that also documents DVD collections as well as reviews them. See one of the most amazing ones, the Band of Brothers LE, after the cut.

This term, I’m working on a project for both my Designing Physical Interfaces class and my OOP (Object Oriented Programming) class. My idea was to create a “virtual gardener” program for a multi-touch display that would allow one to prune, adjust its growth and more. Not just that, but I want the tree to be fractal driven so they are different every time the program is run or the tree is generated. In preparation for this project, I started spending time with L-systems, or Liedermeyer Systems.

Alas! It has been far too long since I last graced this blog with content! The writings of a certain verbose friend of mine somewhat shamed me into how I had ignored you all for so long! Much has happened since my last post and I shall do my best to document them. I’ll start posting up some various things today. So much to say! Please look forward to it!
