Hello there everybody, remember me? Maybe not, it has been a few weeks since my last update after all. How time flies.

Quite allot has happened since my last update, as i mentioned last time i started work at another Telemarketing agency, and im quite happy to announce i quite / was fired, yesterday. This whole telemarketing thing ain't for me, the real killer was when the boss called me in for a brief chat yesterday and said "you are too soft, your thinking too much about the customer and their needs rather then the business and your targets". Heres a biased but after my experience relatively accurate segment from a horrible aussie show called "A Current Affair" that deals with the company, keep in mind despite the fact these people are incredibly dumb and that A Current Affair is indeed one of the most poorly executed and biased TV shows on air, pretty much everything in this segment is accurate.

So after that leaving didn't seem to bad, hell, he fired me before i had even finished my final shift, what a champ. Coincidentally, while i was working that afternoon i got a call from a company i went for an interview with several weeks ago, a company that deals with Antennas and home theaters, and while they don't want me for the job i originally applied for, they had a store-person role open up, so i guess ill be chatting to people and informing them about what system would best suit there needs, which suits me great since im a real audio/videophile. And its also allot closer to home, so double awesome.

Other then that not much has really been going on, that job was eating into my time so much i never even got to go shopping, so i haven't really had time for any animation or anything along those lines which is unfortunate, but now i have this new job i should have most nights at home to work on my multiple projects, hopefully ill get a quick short done and out before April 28th for a certain someone's birthday, but ill just have to see how i go.

Anyways, for this weeks entry i thought i would try something a little different, so i thought i would up some of the the live action films i made when i was living back in Ballina from back in 07 and 08. They're not particularly good or anything, but i ended up going threw them the other day when i was cleaning up my youtube account and i sort of found them interesting in retrospect for some reason. So here is some old shit with a little bit explaining each one for those who are interested in seeing what i was up to during my year long absence from the flash world.

This was the first ever video i made, back in August 06, i made it the day after i got my at the time shiny new video camera, which is actually useless now since there are no Vista drivers for it... Anyway, what started out as a video of me filming myself, as i tend to do that allot, turned into me filming myself getting attacked by a Magpie and then... i don't know what happened, i just sort of went on a tangent about bird conspiracies or some shit. Its double weird for me to go back to now since i was still living with my grandparents at the time and it was all filmed around the original office i worked at by the River in Ballina.

This was the original trailer for the Gerkinman Feature Film i was working on back in 2007, a remake of what i had done of the original Nimbin movie (which i had completed 40 minutes of before having the HDD crash on my PC and loosing all of it). it was originally going to be filmed with live action backgrounds and then characters tweened all over the top of the footage, no real reason for me canceling it other then the fact that i had animated a small portion of it and then my art style radically changed, with me stopping tween animation in favor of a more simple and limited animation style. I still think the script and story are half decent, and i might get around to working on it again some day, but i doubt it.

This was basically a film clip i made to a song i had written about 8 months prior, i think i was just sitting around one day with my housemate and we were bored, so i thought it'd be funny if i rode around on a kids trike while wearing a motorcycle helmet, so low and behold, i did, and this is what came of it. To be honest despite how badly shot and edited this clip is, i still find it to be one of the only live action things ive done thats genuinely entertaining, if only for the concept.

I might leave it at that for now, save the other few for next week and speaking of weeks,Ill leave you with a weird tribute to Jimmy Hendrix i drew last week.

Peace out.
