Kicking off the new year...

2010 hasn't even started yet and I'm already going through a whirlwind of various projects.

The producer of our last film, Quantum Immortality, is also a popular Chicago radio DJ, and he's called upon me to create some graphics and promo material for a live "top 25" countdown show this New Years Eve. Unfortunately he called me while I was on vacation in Minnesota, so we just got together for the first time today to discuss this project. So, now I'm rushing to get it all done, though I shouldn't have any problems getting it done, rendering it will be the most time consuming and I already have the design laid out.

In other news, before I left for vacation I had a one-on-one with a director that I met in my film group. He's looking for someone to do special effects for several projects he has lined up starting next year, and he was really impressed with my work so far, so there's a very good chance I'll be working with him early next year.

And other things are really starting to shape my Film career, and making me really thrilled to be a resident of the Chicagoland area. The largest studio outside of Hollywood is being built really close to me and should be ready sometime in 2010. A friend of mine from my film group knows the guy responsible for bringing this studio here, and he's worked for Digital Kitchen and on some big movies like Terminator Salvation. I am super excited about this!
