The Spirit of Spawn at ILM

I worked on Spawn at ILM at the age of 22 with Scott Leberecht and Steve "Spaz" Williams. Every production I work on since gets more political, boring, and I feel the need to carefully watch every word and step I make. For the better?

Jedi Days

OK, enough about Obama!

Jedi Days



Having worked with a few folks in this video it was scary and cool to see their character during the making of Return of the Jedi.

NOTE - I am not a fan of Star Wars since The Empire Strikes Back. Too bad George really f*ed up the new ones. Way to go George! It was great to work on the visual effects though.

Dear Adobe

Adobe, your After Effects team listened to me years ago when I said users should be able to drag and drop imported footage on an icon that creates a comp automatically.

Now please listen to me again on 3 fronts.

1. Develop a true 3D application before George Lucas buys out Autodesk and controls the entire CG industry.

2. Please port at least Photoshop to Linux so we don't have to login to a Windows Box for Adobe Products and Linux box for everything else. This will also be good for the environment. As if we care. Wait, we do because it's popular to care, right?

3. Listen to Dan Goldman. He is on the forefront of simple, easy-to-use video interactivity here:
