#30DayPhoto: Week2

I started a 30 day photo challenge and so far it has been fun. Each day has a certain task related to the picture you take. Every now and then I would bring my camera out and take photos but for this challenge I am always having my camera with me which is kind of nice. Allison Lehman started this little project and you can see all the other submissions here. Here are all my photos for the week. To see better quality, view my flickr page

Contagion Billboard

More companies need to do this. I think I may see this movie just because of this video. The name of the movie is still stupid though.

Videos

A cool video to help showcase the added perks to the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. There will be no last stand or shotguns as secondary weapons, no more commando. There will be land mines that spin upward and blow up in your face and decoy care packages that will blow up on your enemy. 16 new maps and new game modes. I really wish this game was releasing even sooner then November.

Chipotle makes a sweet video to help show the issues with production lines and farming. More can be seen here.

Amazing graphics for what can be of Halo 4

I can not wait for battlefield 3 to come out. The graphics are insane in this game and the mini videos that they have done has helped boost interest like no other.

CSCA Pinewood Derby 2011

Clutch interactive won last night! 1st place in design and 2nd place in big idea. It makes me happy to be apart of a company that has so many talented people in design to come up with an amazing looking car like this. Its been an ongoing joke in the office about narwhals. I don't really know why but thats how it is with 90% of the things we joke about. Stupid youtube videos and random events like paula deen riding things. The Carwhal took about 2 months of planing (procrastination) and about 4 days to actually build.

The original idea we all collaborated on and mocked up some drawings of the car to get an idea of how to go about it. The Illustrators James Haskins and Dave Armstrong really helped out on getting the main idea down on paper.

After that we sat on it until Matt McMeans sculpted the wood. Then it went to John Olson for some extra sanding, sculpting clay to bring out the core features and it also got a nice base coat. Armstrong took over after that and gave it some amazing details with paint and microns. It then got its horn and blow hole. Other people that helped in some part was Tyler Spahr, Tony Wartinger, Eric Kemp, Gabriel Ball, Brian Hake, Deron Husak and Jordan Monson.

Hope you enjoyed the little write up. We all had a blast at the event and we're glad Columbus has such a great community for design. Thanks to all the people that made the event possible.

Savoy & Feed Me in Chicago

The official pre party for lollapalooza went down a couple thursdays ago and it was a good one. By time we landed and got checked into the hotel and figured out how to get to the concert it was already 11:30. It sucked being so late and seeing the crowd die down but the music was popping and the light show was top notch. I wish I got to experience the whole thing and I wish I saw skrillex chilling in the VIP but overall it was still fun and I had a good time. The video says it all.

Small Update

Just got back from Florida a couple of days ago. My life has been crazy recently and it is not changing. I've been driving around a crappy rental car since mine is in the shop getting repainted because I hit a deer a while back. Been playing volleyball at Flannagan's on Wednesdays. Saw Death Cab for Cutie last Wednesday with Tony. My basement flooded while I was in florida. That was fun. Lost some art supplies and my college couch. This week is going to be pretty crazy too. Today I have a hair cut and working on selling left over car parts for the mustang that I sold before I went on vacation. Tuesday I'm going to cincinnati for Warp Tour. Wednesday I have volleyball and Crystal Castle's Concert. Thursday I am flying to Chicago for lollapalooza with Kaleah, Carl and Matt. Thursday night involves craziness from Savoy and Feed Me for a pre-lollapalooza party. Check the video out below. I also made a little lollapalooza mixtape, Hope you enjoy.
