The Rider Song
I don't know how I've gone so long not realizing that two of my favorite contemporary musicians Nick Cave and Warren Ellis have collaborated on many musical soundtracks. I at once dived into them all and was not disappointed. This song off the soundtrack to the move The Proposition is so amazingly sublime I don't even have the words to begin to tackle it.

Columbo Girl
Lately I've gotten really into the seventies television show Columbo. About a brilliant detective who pretends to be inept in order to trap criminals into exposing thier crime. The show is awesome.
Anyway in one of the episodes Columbo stands in front of a movie projector and I dug the resulting color scheme/lighting enough to paint a concept from it.

The List:
it's conclusively the pin
not the shaders on it
must be the geometry somehow
cylinder with one end tapered
i turned reflections to zero and it still takes long
my guess is intersecting geo
i have to run now but i can come in tomorrow
it would be fastest probably a hour or two
no i mean the time to set it up
if you just want the color adjustments you can just import the curves it takes just a few seconds
but the other stuff would maybe need to be simply animated to follow the shot
dump movies>?
this is photoshop
also so you know my after effects only reliably renders targa sequences
i'll leave my computer on with photoshop up

January 1st 2013
New years moment was rather un-dramatically ushered in through my muteness.
I welcomed the new year standing on top of a large rock in the Berkeley hills watching the fireworks.
Immediately the moment was soured by the bratty shitty teenagers behind me trying to get me to sit down so they didn't have to stand to see the fireworks.
I started a long monologue in my mind about how they should enjoy they're spoiled entitled temperaments now while they can, before they realize they can't make a living clicking on things and whining at the world through yelp reviews while sipping boba tea and texting on their phones.
That the first world economy that caused them to have this skewed perception of reality is riding on fumes and when America cant afford to bully the world to respect the empty value of the petrol dollar, that they're lifestyles are going to come crashing down around them.
That when they are on there own, the first world American lifestyle of unproductive, useless decadence will have expired and they're find themselves stuck with useless master degrees in comparative literature and wonder why the world hasn't given them all they feel they deserve.
When suddenly I cut myself short and realized that the first thing I did in the new year was to talk trash in a really derisive vile way. And that's hardly a way to look towards the future, that I'm almost 30 and still think it's ok to chew out teenagers in my mind. I felt ashamed and in admitting that to myself grew up a little in that moment, especially when I remembered that I was just as shitty or more shitty then they were at their age, and so at the very least I could acknowledge that now it's their turn.
A metaphysical journey into holistic understanding to start 2013. Not bad.
Now to go listen to some Alan Watts lectures...
No list.

I might have made a mistake today? I was working late at Insight and needed to borrow a pen from Kevin and said something like "Can I borrow this?" a few minutes later I saw that it was a couple minutes past midnight. And don't know if I said that before the cut off or not...
The List:
So I just realized final gather
is on. That must be why it's doing
this double rendering, have you
already rendered this master scene?
Has final gather been on?
If so, should we leave it on
this scene now?
I don't know how long final gather has
been on this file. Possiblyt only since
the biolum tests?
It of course renders much faster
without it. Especially now that
I've simplified the high res geometry shader
Actually maybe it's about the same...
Let's just
delete the
biolum
render layer
