Inspired involvement: Train to Paris
http://afflated.blogspot.com/2012/06/train-to-paris.html
Events and ideas that connect me to my creative community. Friday, June 1, 2012. On the train to Paris. Thought that if I'm actually going to try to blog everything that I do, I should try to make smaller posts more often. Besides, there's excellent wifi here. This morning I had breakfast at the hotel, only slightly hungover. Then I went out looking for a drug store in order to obtain eye drops, since my lens solution does nothing. . I notice that everyone addresses everyone in English - it appears to be...

Events and ideas that connect me to my creative community. Saturday, June 2, 2012. Well, this is the thir morning that I've been unable to sleep past 4am. May as well catch up! Arrived in Paris and was immediately hustled at the train station. And the guards are no joke - full military uniforms with machine guns at the ready, in dramatic contrast to Amsterdam. Do you want cheese? Yes, please.". Good So you want cheese? Are you finished with your lunch? No, no" (defend my plate with my hands). At any rate...

Events and ideas that connect me to my creative community. Monday, November 21, 2011. I meant to close the previous post with this quote from the Mahabharata, translated by William Buck:. Then the Universe is water; water. Without end or beginning; without. Earth or sky; without space or light;. Without sound or movement. Then. The dark waters lie still and silent. And waiting, touching nothing. What shape shall I take to rescue. The Earth from this flood? Fascinating work, all of them.). Portland Classi...

Events and ideas that connect me to my creative community. Tuesday, March 29, 2011. 2010 Annual Report completed. So, yeah, it's a little weird for a private person to make an annual report. I did think about making it all super-glossy and beautiful, but this is only the first year. Maybe I'll step it up next year. In conflict with financial goals (isn't that the story of America? Isn't that the story we all tell each other, that we can pursue our dreams and still make money? At any rate, I'd like to sha...

Inspired involvement: Going to China!
http://afflated.blogspot.com/2012/09/going-to-china.html
Events and ideas that connect me to my creative community. Saturday, September 1, 2012. Tomorrow morning I head to China for the ASIFA General Assembly. While there, we'll have the assembly and an in-person board meeting, and most of us will also give presentations to the Jilin Animation Institute. Mine will be on stop motion technologies here in Portland, with a focus on Laika's use of rapid prototyping technology in Coraline and Paranorman. I shared with him my pet theory, which goes a bit like this:.

Events and ideas that connect me to my creative community. Wednesday, April 27, 2011. I just finished an improv class from Brainwaves. And not only was it a lot of fun, but it gave me a lot to think about. Here are some principles of improv and how I think they apply to non-performance situations:. Be fit and well. Be in the moment.

Inspired involvement: Verona

Events and ideas that connect me to my creative community. Sunday, June 10, 2012. Well, I left France just as I had gotten in the habit of speaking my Franglish to everyone, and was even doing that sing-song inflection they do. Annecy is beautiful, and I had a lot of fun there. And saw some great animation and met some fascinating people. . I decided to skip Milan and go to Verona before arriving in Venice. So I booked a B&B on hotels.com. Later in the day - - -. Found my way to the Castelvecchio, which ...
