My new film is a silent one about wet, foggy colors. It was raining in December and the roses looked droopy under the weight of the water droplets. Then the camera started going in and out of focus and I thought it made a good color show so I started to learn how to make [...]

Here’s a new film for the film fans who happen to stumble by. It’s a film about memory shifts, searching, losing something, trying to find the old image, trying to regain an old feeling or impression, capturing a season of life or the mind. As if one were thinking, “I can almost remember how it [...]

Want to ruin Halloween?  Sure.  Why not?  Give it a try.  This puzzle has driven many players totally insane.  I’m actually not kidding.  I’m dead serious.  It’s really hard.  It can warp your helpless mind and make you smash your computer.  I have received more hate mail for this little puzzle than for any other [...]

More finger sketching from the iPod.  The major problem I see with drawing on an iPod or an iPhone is that it doesn’t work well in the sunshine.  You can’t see the screen well enough to draw.  Paper works better on a beach.

After quite a long break for coffee and ice-cream that’s lasted since November 2007, I am picking up the film right where I left off and this is my image for the evening. It’s a background for a shot of Oksana’s father leading her from home and into the forest. I’ll start working on the [...]

The Visit is an animation I was working on about a year ago. The Flash player above includes everything I’ve done so far on the film. There’s no sound yet. It’s a rough edit of the animation as I go. The story is my adaptation of an old folk tale about a little girl who is [...]
