Yesterday, I made these blood-spattered cupcakes for a Friday the 13th party.



I'm happy to say they've clotted nicely. :)

I Made some Movies! @ 07:39 pm



[info]chrispiers recently discovered this website that allows you to manipulate a few simple tools to create cartoon movies. If you can type, you can make movies!

Here are the ones I've made so far... )

Whaaaat? A post from Krissy?!? It can't be! @ 09:00 am

[info]chrispiers and I spent this past weekend slipping into sleep deprived delirium as participants in 24-Hour Comics Day!

The goal was to create a 24-page comic book within 24 hours. It was hard! But I think the delirium helped us all (there were eight writer-artists total) in the end.

The free pizza and jog-walking around the mini mall with Chris were my favorite parts!

Mood Ring: soundy

I participated in the BALTIMORE 48-Hour Film Project this past weekend. I'm starting to really get the hang of this stuff!

I had to write a "rockabilly" style piece for this one, which was quite a challenge as I hadn't picked up a guitar in probably a year & a half (it was a miracle the strings didn't disintegrate upon impact. I was convinced the two-inch layer of dust was holding the whole thing together).

I quickly discovered some limitations (e.g. that I've become so ungood at playing guitar that I can really only get a decent sound if I play three strings at a time and mute the other three). I ended up recording a "lower three strings" part and an "upper three strings" part. I used rubber bands and toilet paper to fashion the mutes. Hehhh...

This project went quite differently than the DC version, as I basically just met with the producer twice, got a copy of his desired music style samples, and never met any of the actors or other crew. I haven't even seen any footage, as my team was running behind schedule in the last few hours, and we decided the swiftest way to approach final mix-down was for me to upload all the sounds and music over FTP for them to work in themselves. That was the only disappointingish part for me.

And I still have no idea if we made the deadline!

Back to the plusses though, I've been suggested as a sound-designer/scorer to an NYU film student who's working on his thesis film (pretty exciting!). The film's story sounds quite intriguing, and the sound should be a wonderful challenge for me, and a great resume-building opportunity.

It feels great to put my gear to use again, rather than continue to use it as a place to pile laundry. :)
