All Hail Amid Amidi

Great News has just come up. My website is now one of the links of Asifa-East , right next to Newgrounds. :)

On the day I found this link on Asifa East, the Seul Animation Festival sent me an invitation. Izhn’t zat veerd?

Amid Amidi (Spring 2005)

And last, but certainly not least, is this computer “painting” I did of Amid Amidi. It has somewhat of a psychodelic quality to it with the giant heads and all. And Beaverclouds, because I love Beaverclouds. If you want to know more about Amid Amidi, then go to his websites Cartoon Brew and Animation Blast

Chris Hinton’s letter

Today, Chris Hinton’s reply on my “Piper the Goat” page really lifted my spirits:

Hi Lev,

I love your enthusiasm and dedication to animation. Keep up the great work. We need to clone you. Perhaps we can do this in Ottawa this year.

All the best,
Chris.

A new Start? End of Procrastination?

All the movie previews are now added! So is the Photo Album, and lots more drawings are added too.

I’m working on the script for my next animation. I’m going to start reading the book on 3ds Max (hopefully tommorow). I realize that I am becoming quite a procrastinator after Piper the Goat was finished. It matters not. Tommorow I will begin a new day, where I’ll wake up early, do some light stretches, go shower, eat breakfast while watching a new film that I didn’t get a chance to finish, do French for an hour, finish a secret assigment which will ensure my freedom in the coming years, read Dostoyevsky’s “The Idiot”, eat dinnerlunch, put the ACTUAL dates on my photographs and works on this website, read the 3ds Max book, read the Aftereffects Book (hoping to find how to use it better for animation), eat dinnersupper, shower, do something else, and go to sleep.

Think I can do all that in a day when its 1 am right now as I’m writing this? Hell no. But that doesn’t mean I’m not up to the challange. This could be a fresh new start for me an the end of my foul procrastination. Mabye when I’m done with all of that stuff, I can draw procrastination in it’s celestial form?

Mission Complete

At long last my glorious website is finally manufactured & shipped! This is looking to be a big improvement from my old overcompensating website designs, and I have a bunch of stuff to put inside, so I’ll get to it. I already put in a couple of sketches from the drawing classes, and two different versions of a poster for “The Laramie Project”. I have made a New Years resolution to make more than 1000 good sketches of the human body this year, and as an aspiring animator, I am up to any challange.

The movies section is done for now, but I am going to put in the preview movies soon.
