Creative frustration: Old work, new work?
April 17th, 2008 Discussion {6}
I recently put some of my work online in full video form (finally), over at Youtube. Apologies for the poor quality that the Flash video allows, but my decision to upload there was motivated by two things; firstly, the potentially wide exposure that the site is capable of generating, as evidenced by the popularity of my friend Nomis’ recent animated film Rain, and secondly by my frustration at not currently being able to craft a better alternative to present them. I have gotten a super-simple stills portfolio online at lostintheplot.com, though.
That’s the other reason why I’m posting links to old work, and the above still from a 2007 random animation experiment- out of sheer desperation to do something productive and vaguely creative. Currently I am working on my Macbook, which is great, but not really an animation and media workhorse, and is devoid of all creative software except a pathetic Dreamweaver trial about to expire. Back in Australia, dormant in its box, is my Mac Pro and its plethora of creative tools! I’m formulating plans to get it here, but in the meantime I’m going to try and divert my attention to my sketchpad and pencils, and start storyboarding a new idea.
Hey hey. Glad to see you’re still about 
You put your film up on Vimeo as well, better quality over there, if less exposure.
I’m thinking of heading your way in mid-August. Will you be around then?
Thanks for the comment Mr Neal, It’s good to see your animation stuffs all in the same place! I love monomath. But where is the one you did in 2nd year of the man jumping off of the building backwards?
It’s also good to see Max is still around! Hello Max!
Yeah- Vimeo would be a good idea as a higher quality alternative. I guess it’s less exposure just on their site, but Youtube+Vimeo is more overall!
August- yes, as far as I know (as they say in Seinfeld “Barring some unforeseen incident”) – will email you!
And Simon, thanks- yes, I would like to put up that one- “Stencil” – I’ll be able to soon, I haven’t had copies of all my work with me so far…
Yeah, that’s true, probably is a little less exposure just on Vimeo. The community over there is cooler though, and the folks who run things over there are from NYC so you might find some interesting people interested in your stuff.
Hello to you too, Simon! Love your animation btw, great to see it all finished.
