Last night I gave a presentation at the monthly meeting of the Virginia Production Alliance on “Storyboarding for Film.” It was a ton of fun for me and I really hope that the folks who attended got something worthwhile out of it.
And since a few people asked for it, I’ve taken the slides from my [...]
A few months back, while I was at the 2010 SIGGRAPH conference, my publisher sat me down and recorded a brief little interview about myself, my next book (Blender For Dummies, 2nd Edition) and Blender in general. Well, it turns out that they actually posted that interview on YouTube for all to see. So here [...]
The DC chapter of ACM/SIGGRAPH is holding a set of Professional Development Seminars at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. this month, from March 18-20. As part of this, I will be teaching two seminars on the 19th: a Blender Basics course in the morning and an Advanced Blender course in the afternoon. Registration is [...]
I’ve posted a few progress updates of this on Twitter, but for those of you who don’t follow that, I recently co-wrote a new book, GIMP Bible, due out in a couple weeks. The books left warehouses some time last week and Amazon says the release date is 1 March 2010 (that’s right, I’m not [...]
Today was Lie of the Day #1095. Can you believe it? I’ve been making stuff up [publicly] for 3 years straight. Wild, ain’t it?
I nearly forgot that this happened. Back in June, I attended the Connecticut Film Festival to give a presentation on Blender and sit on a panel discussion about computer animation. It was good times all around. In the midst of all this, I sat down for a short interview with Sib Law of Rocket’s Tail. [...]

Wednesday, 17 June, 7-9 PM: I will be giving a talk on Blender at DCLUG, the Washington, D.C. Linux User [...]
The Connecticut Film Festival is taking place this week from June 2-7. The festival is pretty sweet, featuring not only live-action film, but also animation and interactive media like video games. I’ll be giving a presentation on Friday the 5th on producing animations with Blender just before a presentation by fellow Blenderhead and badass animator, [...]
It’s that time of year again! For those of you who don’t know, last year we assembled a team to compete in the 48 Hour Film Project for Richmond, VA with the goal of completing an animation for our entry. Due to a variety of issues, we actually didn’t get the animation rendered in time. [...]
So travel season is coming up! Wahoo! Unfortunately I was unable to make it to NAB this year and I’m not going to be able to go to LGM, either. It’s kind of a bummer. That said, I’m already planning on a whole bunch of other adventures. If you’re around for any of these, come [...]
