Hello Kids

Long time... when it says i'm listening to the scanner, thats like not some Indy band. Please welcome to the stage: The Scanner..... no no its an actual Scanner, scanning drawings.

So about 2 years since last update.

Whats been happening. A lot i guess you could say. I have been working steady at Tangata Whenua now on contract for nearly 4 years i think. we are currently working on season 4, which has been a good source of work and income. Still very creative atmosphere, and a great bunch of talented artists working along side me. We have made two episodes in traditional Animation, then we made the jump to flash Animation. which is a bit of a frustrating program, because you have to do what it wants you to do.

I can see where speed comes into animation when working with flash, and the amount of subtle moves you can do for character animation is great.

I recently moved out of my parents place. My folks bought a place that we can rent of them, so my girlfriend and i (yep still with her.) and my best friend and his girlfriend have moved into a cozy little place in massey west Auckland. It has been real fun, making dinner every night, playing video games. Still feels like im on holiday a bit, you know just with the friends on holiday at a bach (prenounced like 'Batch' which is like a holiday home for all you other country peoples.)

Been watching lots of films, loved the district 9 and the inglourious basterds, loved "up" and 500 days of summer. have had a good streak of films which has been good, havent had something to spoil the taste in my mouth, like that god awful transformers.. and lets not forget Wolverine...WHY.... though i have been watching good bad movies. like movies that are so bad they are good. Like Troll 2 and Dragonball E which was fun to watch with friends.

Also been playing Xbox. New batman game was great. Got Dead space... very freaky game scared me on countless occasions.

Just been living really, busy at work so no real stuff of my own to post. But i am smiling. been trying to catch up with friends and stuff, cos i miss them. Will probably be having a house warming soon so everyone can come.

If you wanna know anything else just ask, because a cant remember all of 2 years ago.

Your friend in time

Mike
