Skyrim Atmospheres

Wow, im sorry, 2 weeks without an update, I was going to update last Friday but ended up having a massive day freelancing from home and then seeing Happy Feet 2...

ANYWAY, It has been a big couple of weeks, let me tell you about them.

Since this is a creative blog, ill only be talking about the creative stuff, that said, I spent a week up on the Northern Rivers, back on my home turf some might say. While I was there I took quite a lot of time lapse and surf footage. I shot quite a lot of time lapse footage at my parents home over the span of two days and spent another full day at Lennox Head filming, I was even lucky enough to catch a storm going by in the distance. The surf footage I took was also from Lennox Head, and while I wasn't doing anything too dangerous most of the time aside from wearing a silly hat...

But when I wasn't standing safely up on nice green grass I was in stupid places like this hoping that a big wave wouldn't come along and bowl me over...

To give you an idea how big that wave was in this photo, im standing on top of a storm water drain that came up at least a meter and a half out of the water. The end result tho, I like to think was worth it, I put together a lot of the footage I took to the song Il Fiore by Trash80.


But thats not all I have done, while I was away I also managed to finish tweaking all 8 of the original 2005 series of Bricks are Fun. So far I have been uploading one a day, and as of today I have 4 more to go.  Im happier with some more then others, but obviously since some are funnier then others thats to be expected.




Now that these are finished and out of the way I can get back to focusing on Gerkinman Returns and this months loop.

And thats pretty much it for this week, I leave you now with the track Skyrim Atmospheres which is what im currently listening too, and is 42 minutes of peaceful ambience. For those who have been wondering as well, the title of my blog is always whatever song is playing on my playlist at the time. True story.


And dont forget to follow me on Tumblr. I need the love...

Morphing Thru Time

Two blog updates in less then 7 days, I must be going crazy!

No, I just thought since im leaving to visit family tomorrow morning and I wont be able to hop back onto the internet till sometime next week now would be as good a time as any to update this blog. So thats what im doing, and not even you can stop me!

So what have I been up too since I last blogged a few days ago? Well, I uploaded this little flash animation from 2005. Dont ask me now what its about or what the joke is, I dont remember, but I havent made anything like it since so I guess its sort of interesting.



Anyone who has known me since 2004 will also remember a web series I made over the span of a week called Bricks Are Fun. It was a silly little series where the joke was the idea that there was no joke. It sort of exploded on DeviantArt and had lots of spin offs and for a couple of weeks it was super popular. Looking back on it its probably the single most popular solo project I ever undertook, which is ironic since it was made incredibly lazily, with one episode made every afternoon over 8 days. Each one only took a couple of hours to throw together. After talking to a friend about old projects I noticed it was still getting traffic, from people I can only assume are looking for it out of nostalgia. For this reason I decided to get the series ready for upload to Youtube. Ive been tweaking the visuals slightly, so they are all uniform and dont hurt the eyes quite as much as they did back in 2005, with most of the gradients and photos gone in favor of flat shading. The animation itself however has been left untouched and is just as horrible as it ever was. It will however contain a new opening sequence as well as credits and copyright free music. You can see some screens below from episodes in progress. Ive chosen to keep the episode names the same, even tho some of them make no sense structurally, its all part of the fun I guess.

Episode 01: Bricks Are Fun

Episode 02: Bricks Are Flammable

Episode 03: Bricks Are Do Stuff

Episode 04: Bricks Are From Space

Episode 05: Bricks Are Fight Back

Episode 06: Bricks Are Cameo

I still have large amounts of Episode 06 that need to be finished, and then Episodes 07/08 to go and it should be all nicely wrapped up. Im hoping to get all the episodes finished while im away visiting family, and ill do the sound when I get back home and have access to the internet again.

Also on Monday I drew this chocolate teddy with its ear bitten off after a twitter discussion about eating chocolate bears even tho they are so cute.

And thats really it for this week again. Down the bottom you will find all of this weeks Tumblr pics, all from 2005 once again. So until I get home and have a lot to talk about again, as im sure I will. Adios.
