T-MODE

06/02/2020

I’ve been struggling to gather my thoughts. I'm still at a loss for words. I do not have the answers, but here are a few things you can do to show your support and take action towards real change. We’re all living in this world together, so it will take all of us to make it better. Black Lives Matter #strongertogether

- Treat people how you want to be treated
- Listen and understand experiences that may not be your own
- Say something against racism when you see it
- Donate money to organizations combating racial injustice
- Shop at black-owned businesses
- Amplify the ideas and messages of black voices
- Research ways you can use your voice to support
- Be open to discussing racism even if you’re afraid of getting it wrong
- Respect our similarities and our differences
- Start somewhere, no matter how small the action

Sending love to everyone actively working towards a better world. Stay safe and sane.

Happy Monday! I know things keep going quite in here, but it’s only because we’ve been super busy behind the scenes. We’re working on something new and exciting that we think you’re going to LOVE! It’s an idea I’ve had for years and it’s finally starting to come together. Hope to announce soon within the next few weeks or so!

P.S. The picture has nothing to do with the announcement. It’s just a random picture of my Totoro figurine. I like to hide him in different places around my kitchen. 😂 Feel free to share your random figurine photos.

Meant to share these sooner. They're photos from the annual APA Collective Toy Drive hosted by Asian Pacific American Film - APA Film back in December. It was a nice turn out and it's great seeing so many organizations come together to help bring a little joy to kids during the holidays. Always love supporting this event.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! This is going to be my whole 2020. There's so much great stuff in store, and I'm really going to have to leave my comfort zone to make it all happen. I'm scared. But taking at least one step a day, no matter how big or small, is what I'm going to do. Who's with me? Let's do this together! I'm so excited for what's to come.

I really miss traditional 2D animation. New technology definitely speeds up the process, but it doesn't seem as magical to me. I'll break down the process.

1. Storyboards are created to block out the keyframes and timing.

2. The frames are then drawn on cel paper. This is a tedious process because every little movement needs to be drawn out. So you draw the keyframes based on the storyboards, and then you have to draw the inbetween frames to make the motion happen.

3. The cels are scanned to create an animatic. The animatic helps you see that the movement and timing is right. If not, then you have to go back and correct you frames or draw new ones. You repeat this until everything looks right.

4. The finished drawings are then transferred to the clear acetate cels. Now they're ready for ink and paint. Remember, every single frames needs to be painted. There are tricks to help speed up the process a little, but it's still a lot of work.

5. Background art is created separately, and is usually more detailed because you don't have to redraw it for each frame. The clear acetate cels are placed over the background layouts and scanned frame by frame.

6. Now the finished frames are compiled together in editing for the finished result. Voilà! You've created an animation.

Come era animata #SailorMoon nel 93' 😮 💖

Celebrating Halloween in Japan is a recent activity, I believe only within the past 10 years or so. It's typically celebrated by a large gathering of people coming out into the streets wearing costumes. I don't know what happened this year, but some people got drunk and took the festivities to another level. 😳

I mentioned that I was helping out Vikings Con this weekend as part of the staff. I didn't get a chance to take my own pictures because I was busy working, so I'm sharing the con's album. It's a really cool event filled with awesome people. The viking reeanactors were amazing. They were historically accurate and their attention to detail is incredible. Many were camped out over the weekend. They had campfires going at night and also cooked their meals right at their tents. Vikings Con is definitely a unique experience and I enjoyed having a glimpse into viking life.

"Life's too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right, forgive the ones who don't and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it." // Dr. Seuss

It's OK to not be OK. Breathe. Give yourself the time to feel what you're feeling. Not too much time that you start to dwell, but enough time to process your feelings. Then you'll be ready to dust yourself off and pick yourself back up again.
