A project I've been working on for quite some time now is the Battlefield 1942 Transformers Mod video game. For those of you not familiar with the Transformers, check this out. I've only been doing some minor work here and there, mostly 3D modeling. The project manager has asked that I start working on some alternate aircraft/spacecraft modes for Optimus Prime and Megatron. I'm beginning the sketches and concept designs today and will work on them throughout the weekend. I hope the begin modeling no later than Monday night. Stay tuned to the Projects page for more info.

Prepping for the Dragon
Last week was terrible for productivity. I spent the time getting everything in order for my trip to Dragon*Con, which starts in just over a week. Now all the prep is out of the way, I can go back to focusing on the projects on my plate. Another thing that didn't help (hence, I took advantage of the downtime) was the fact that one of the main hard drives I use in the studio for editing decided to die on me. It was replaced this weekend so I'll be editing some more starting tonight. I think I'll be on schedule for completing the editing by Sept 1. After I get back from Dragon*Con, I'll work on the DVD authoring. Hopefully that and the package design will be done by Sept. 27. Also, the trip to Dragon*Con will continue the tradition of eating tons of hot dogs on the road. Check...
Swelling, Sleeping, Editing
Millard and I hung out yesterday. He was feeling a bit under the weather due to a nasty sunburn he suffered while out on a boat. Ouch. We rented Hitch and ordered pizza. Movie was pretty good. Pizza was better. I slept in and called into work today, as I was exhausted this morning. I'm about to open up the editing room and begin working on the DVD. More on that as it develops.

It's been a while since I posted last. Things have been pretty busy for me the last week or so. Anyway... Saw Catwoman this weekend. The movie was OK, but after Spider-Man and X-Men, the story seemed very campy; a little too comic-bookish. I guess it may be my viewing preference, as I like the way the directors of these Marvel movies are portraying the characters as real people, and the "laws" of comicbookdom are not applied too much to the movies. I've always had trouble latching on to DC story lines, as they just seem too far-fetched. Halle Berry was alright, but the constant purring and cat-like movements really hurt the film. I'd give it a C+, and that's mainly for Benjamin Bratt's always-great portrayal of a cop. Also bought a new acoustic guitar yesterday. It wanted something inexpensive that had a decent sound, so I got a Yamaha...
