Hasta La Motion!

Here’s a quick talk I did some months ago with Branislav at JSConf EU.

This was the first time I rehearsed a talk. Not sure if that makes things better or worse.

Got interviewed on the 3rd episode of the WebGL Podcast.

Almost forgot about this one. I feel like maybe I’m repeating myself too much on these interviews…

It’s that time of year again. Wide-eyed kids march into the workforce, hungry to take a bite of the industry pie. The day is graduation day. Graduates from all around, boldly wielding their Wacom tablets and unsoiled dreams, make the long-awaited transition from student to professional. We’ve all been there. Even John Lasseter. Here’s his two-cents on what you need to not only prosper, but stay inspired.

Listen and learn.

Michael Langan’s music video for Hundred Waters’ “Cavity” features the filmmaker’s trademark penchant for playing with multiplicity and repetition.

What begins as a deceptively simple pillar of light hovering over a nighttime desert evolves into a series of hypnotic visual echoes, as Langan sculpts forms with topographic light.

Entranced by the alien landscapes, I found myself oscillating between two states of mind: 1) wondering how the hell he pulled everything off, and 2) not caring at all.

From Langan:

We used a single flashlight drawn over the landscape hundreds of times to create the lighting effects for “Cavity.” The sliver of light on Nicole’s face involves a projector and a motorized lazy Susan, performed over multiple takes and then multiplied in post.
