Video: Love & Theft
Love & Theft from Studio FILM BILDER on Vimeo. I’m not 100% sure your mind is ready for this animation magic. We watched this in my Time, motion, and communication class and the rest is history. I see something like this and I want to make something hands on and illustrative. Then I remember I don’t…
5: Things on my mind
I made some promises about writing more frequently that have not been fulfilled thus far. Here are some things that have been on my mind lately. The things that have been pulling me away from you. Designing for inclusivity/accessibility. Something I saw this summer triggered this desire in me to explore it more, but I…
10: Most influential books
I saw someone complete this challenge on Facebook and as an English-major-for-life I was super intrigued. This is not your run-of-the-mill spam chain. This is book business! I started at the bottom and then I decided to list them all before I kept writing about them and now, looking over this list, it looks a…
A Color Box by Len Lye
We watched this in my Time, Motion, and Communication class and the quality and energy of it really delighted me. Lye painted directly on the film strips and then ran it. It made me wonder: was he really able to coordinate the visuals to the music as well as he did? He must have, right?…
Hello, again

Obviously, so much has happened since the last time I was in front of a computer and have no idea how…
I’m sorry, for you and me
So sometimes I disappear for a while and the come crawling back humbly. But this time I feel like I have a pretty good excuse besides the typical lack-of-time squeaky-wheel chatter that you’re used to. My computer is broken. If you’re like “didn’t you just get the hard drive replaced?” Then you’re right, I did.…
‘Duet’ by Glen Keane
Beautiful short movie by disney animation artist Glen Keane, who brought the characters of Ariel, the Best, and Aladdin to life. After working on an after effects project this summer I can more deeply appreciate the beauty and talent of his work. I am a little ashamed I saw this first on buzzfeed. But I can’t…
PHAMETRICS // 26
Oh my goodness, can you believe it’s already July?! My summer is leaking.
Thoughts on a rainy weekend
Yesterday I walked home it was raining and I didn’t see any snails. I’m going to use that as a metaphor even though it was also completely dark so, there was probably snails all around me. A lesson I have learned many times before (5/6 times I’ve moved) is that you can’t move away or towards something.…
