motion capture video

Sunny side up

From 8am to 1pm i was building a fake boat under the heat of the sun. My task was to drill holes in metal 2x4's. by noon my hands were black. I was sweating so much i had to take off my shirt and wrap that shit in a turban. 

Working in the movie business i get thrown in all directions. but the show that i'm on right now is very different, it is motion-capture. Basically Motion capture is like the animation on monster house, where the actor have all these dots on their bodies and they become the digital character. The Motion-capture process is quite unique, but since its very new technology it sometimes feels like i'm working on an independent film.

As an Art Department PA for motion-capture, I'm actually doing way more manual labor than digital stuff. but the cool thing about the project The Art director let me buy his computer off of him for $200 with Maya and Motion-builder on it. DOPE!

My hand had a rough day, this typing is making my hands swell. gotta get the ice.

Internet-dating and the EMAIL

I must say, Match.com has made me a better writer. I feel like I can express myself through a simple email. I can be BOLD and not have to second guess what I'm writing. but then again i need to learn more about email-etiquette...

In my emails, I like to use enthusiasm, questions and assertiveness to the person. For example, when it comes to enthusiasm, i put lots of exclamation points! I throw in some jokes about their profiles (harmless jokes). Of course the Enthusiasm has to be genuine. 

When it comes to questions, i like to ask more about them, but not too much. 

and for assertiveness, i ask them on a date. maybe i shouldn't ask the girl on a date with the first email... what do you think?

there was this one girl that i was very close to get on a date but she ended up calling me up at like 11pm and she said that she was getting off of work at that moment. she sounded very apologetic when she spoke to me, but i didn't take it too personally cause i don't know the girl. I just took it at face value.

Even though i have only been on match.com for almost two months, i feel like have a lot more confidence with my emails, and my writing.

DATE

Have you ever asked a person on a DATE? Not a simple, 'Let chill/hangout/kick-it, but and actual, "hey, lets go out on a DATE."

A few days ago was my first attempt, and that shit was harder than constipation. I was always told," Eric, if you want a girlfriend, then you gotta ask the girl on a date." Knowing my scared ass, i avoid the word 'date' word, and just beat-around the bush with a simple, "lets chill some time." that never got me anywhere, except some chill time with myself.

After a 2 facebook messages to her, and one voicemail... to her... I felt like i was in the game. a couple hours went by, i started doubting my actions. FUCK i shouldn't have left so many damn messages, i seem desperate. but on the other side i let her know how i felt about her. a couple more hours passed. FUCK IT i did what i did, at least i have match.com to lean on. 

the next day i check my facebook. she left a message. saying, 'she doesn't want to date.' wow, she responded! wasn't expecting that. ' your a great guy, but i'm not looking to date' Wow! WOW! i got rejected but i didnt' feel defeated.

now i wasn't scared, the Word DATE made sense to me! it a way to hit 2 birds with one stone-- i lets the person know how your feel about them as well as getting a date with them. Dope.

My first Opening

San Franciscohhh!

I'M GOING TO VOMIT, yesterday i was stuck in northern san francisco at a place called Skywalker sound, and the sir in there was so stale i wanted to throw up all over the control booth. 

Some people i know think its pretty damn cool to travel for business. yea its cool, only if you get some free time. i was there just sitting, waiting 6 hours in a room with no windows.

basically i had to deliver tapes to Skywalker sound for them to transfer all the video to an editing program called final cut. very fun stuff...

any how has anyone been to san francisco? i'm probably going to be there again. let me know whats fun to do out there, send me some photos of stuff to do and i'll post it up on the blog.

Peace

Match.com

Okay, I'm trying out Match.com. At first it was fun, I sent out 10 emails to the girls i thought were potential, but i got nothing back. piece of shit match.com.

I realized i could see myself getting lazy with dating and meeting people if i'm on match.com. finally after the 1st week some one winked at me. 

butterflies butterflies! hell yea. so i sent her an email back. then it took her a while to respond. i got a date at a  tea place!

it end up we never went on the date cause she was too busy. what ever. now i'm going back on match.com to find a new person.

after i was scanning all the girls i was getting so bored cause they are all the same faces, and i'm too lazys to read the essays they write about themselves. 

I say everyone should at least try it out to get past the taboo of internet dating. but i think the best way of meeting a person is through friends.

happy hunting.
