A new post category: Figment Pigment, art updates

I’ve decided now that the website is essentially functional (with a few additions yet to come) that I should also endeavor to share progress on things that this site is ultimately for; my art! I won’t be able to post any work I do for jobs due to NDA agreements, but when I am able…

Movie Munch: Marathon

Here is a cute Korean movie that I enjoyed for its simplicity and the true story behind it. It is not flashy or involved, but there are some sophisticated and creative story telling methods put to use, just not in a grand way or scale. It is about an autistic boy and his mother at…

Pirates of the Caribbean: Marathon

Yep, that’s right. I watched all three of the original pirates movies leading up to the recent release of the fourth installment “On Stranger Tides”. I’ll start by saying that I think the Pirates series is phenomenal, very much so. The first three have a wonderful continuity of feeling – which is to say that…

Movie Munch: White Lion

This was a neat film which I really appreciated for its photography. Contained within is some truly magnificent wildlife footage, doubly spectacular due to the fact that it follows a rare white lion (who looks completely AWESOME when all grown up, if I may say). There is an endearing story told in the style of…

The time has come to live again!

Inheritance Poster Preview

And so, at last, I am able to return to something resembling normal life as I wrap up the last few to-do’s for my time at Ringling College! My thesis is complete, I’ve been interviewing with a lot of companies which is exciting, and I’ll be updating the website and adding some more work soon!…

The road goes ever on and on…

As mentioned in my previous post, site work and posts, including movie munches, will be a sort of desert around here for the next few months. The reason being that my thesis is an “everything” thesis, demanding in every category. We are lighting right now, and I need to get quite a few more models…

Intermission!

With this final semester and the work towards completing my thesis, posts will go on a hiatus for a little bit! I neglected getting the site set up right between semesters, so that shall also have to come later on. I have tons of movie munches piled up to do, and may occassionally pull one…

Movie Munch: Dragon Hunters

Dragon Hunters! This french animation was quite a surprising snack! Based on a cartoon series in France, this was a full length (almost, at 80 minutes) 3D film. It is available in english on netflix, however the dialogue and animation works better for the French version as is not surprising. They did a really good job getting…

Movie Munch: TRON-ATHON (original+legacy)

In preparation for seeing the recently released Tron Legacy, my father and I were trying to hunt down a copy of the original Tron. That was a lot harder than it should have been! Naturally there was a lot of demand for it, being that its an older film and the newer one which was…

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to wish a very merry christmas and happy new year to anyone who reads this. I hope you are surrounded by loved ones, soaking up and dishing out tons of love! Head into this new year with a fresh perspective, an ambition, and a hunger for all the wonders life holds! ~Cliff
