Recently I've been spending time burning a picture of me with my x girlfriend. No... really I have. The best part is that I get to do it over and over again since it's all digital. The idea is that the picture of her and I burns away to reveal a picture of her with her new boyfriend that she acquired a month after her and I split up. I'm actually not bitter at all, especially since I was the one who let her go in the first place. Still it's not easy to walk into a party of mutual friends and see her hand in hand with a new guy so it inspired this animation from me. I figure the best stories are based in reality and it does make for a compelling story that most people can relate to. There is a version of this animation currently in my works in progress section but I've yet to add the fire I'm currently attempting to create the perfect shading for with fluid effects in Maya. It's certainly a work in progress so please don't judge this fire too harshly. I...

I've come to the conclusion that I'm entirely too anal about having clean topology... even when my mesh will never deform. It must be some form of OCD that I end up spending hours upon hours pushing and pulling verts and creating new edge loops. I need to just crank something out and if I want to clean it up later that's ok.

So I tweaked some divs, added subsections to my navbar to make navigation faster, and embedded a blogger.com blog into my about Jason section in order to streamline my blogging process. I've also been working hard on multiple projects for my new demo reel. I suppose it might make more sense to concentrate on one project at a time but I like to break up my time between them in order to keep it interesting.
