It's not THAT difficult for a piece of art to make me teary eyed, but this does it quite easily.

Sure, the world as a whole seems to be decaying, but at least we have seasonal cheeses.

I'm certainly not going to go so far as to promise "wisdom" but hopefully there's an interesting anecdote, or a bit of process/production philosophy in there of interest to folks. In any case always a delight to talk about craft!

About as well as anyone could put it. Although I might quibble with the final, “it’s easy” 🤣

I do get a giggle out of the absurd implication that I'm anywhere near being on Cliffy B's level, I'll take the unintended flattery. I'm gonna ramble about some cinematic stuff for a bit, maybe a couple old scenes, and hopefully it'll raise money for kids who want to get in to the industry!

Spent 5 years in Edmonton Alberta and if you went to a potluck and half the dishes were NOT Ukrainian perogies, that’s when you knew the guest list was mostly ex-pats like myself.

One of the benefits of being between projects is you can do a MtG draft with former colleagues on a Wednesday afternoon.

Stolen from discord memes channel

Nine-panel Calvin and Hobbes strip, edited.

Panel 1: A bespectacled doctor in a white coat leans over a desk, holding out a small box to Calvin. "Put your right hand in the box."

Panel 2: Calvin, clutching Hobbes, looks up warily. "What's in the box?" The doctor, hand resting on the box: "Pain."

Panel 3: Calvin howls, "Why are you doing this??" The doctor answers with eyes closed and a faint smile: "An animal in a trap will gnaw off its own leg to escape. What will you do?"

Panel 4: Cut to the waiting room. Calvin's mum sits in a chair reading a magazine. From off-panel: "No need to call for help. Your mother is behind that door. None will get past her."

Panel 5: Mum reads on, magazine raised. She whispers: "I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little death that brings total obliteration…"

Panel 6: A jagged burst of shouting from off-panel: "NO!! I'll never cooperate, you hideous bug-eyed freak! NEVER!!" Mum has not moved.

Panel 7: More shouting: "You can contain my BODY, but you can't chain my SPIRIT! Walls can't confine it! Laws can't restrain it! You can try to leave a message, but my spirit screens its calls!!" Mum is staring blankly ahead

Panel 8: Enormous block letters fill the panel — "AAAAAGHHHHHHHHH" — as mum is shocked out of the chair, which tips over backwards.

Panel 9: Outside, mum stands, looking down at Calvin. "What did the Reverend Mother say?" Calvin, striding in: "All history up to this point has been spent preparing the world for my presence."

Tim Curry was the first celebrity voice I got to work with, on Dragon Age: Origins. I’d been a huge fan so that was an amazing honor for my first job. RIP Arl Howe. The best traitor a Human Noble could ask for.

I think this has a lot of potential. It'll still be a tricky needle to thread but Bautista has done some great work. Personally I'm excited to see the final result.

My grandparents used to eat Liver and Onions every once in a while. Because they'd developed a taste for it when they were young. During the Great Depression.

Magical days. We did crunch a lot, but the point still stands. Part of the answer to how we did a cinematic heavy series that quickly/cheaply was the department I was in, Cinematic Design. Leadership called us “BioWare’s secret weapon” more than a few times.

This has stopped getting much traction when I share it (understandable, everyone is unemployed and fatigued), but things are really tight for us right now and I would appreciate any extra visibility I can get. Available for all kinds of supplemental freelance and contract work.
