So the video I mentioned previously is finished! Take a look below!

Zappos Origami Spot from Subversionz Media on Vimeo.

It doesn’t seem that it will air on television, as it unfortunately didn’t place for Zappos’s “Celebrating the Art of Gifting” contest. The theme was, “Create a 30-second video that celebrates the art of gifting during the holiday season” (and after seeing the top eight, I’m a little surprised it didn’t place…). But regardless, I’m happy with the way it turned out, and it was definitely a fun experience working with Subversionz Media. See their posting here.

stop motion animation shoot!

Hey everybody! For once I’m not posting just because I feel obligated to. I actually have something to show!

(If you were wondering if I designed anything during my time in Alaska, well, I didn’t :/. Go figure.)

Not long after I returned home to Bellingham I got a comment on this blog from Subversionz Media, a production company based in Seattle. They needed an origami artist to fold a few things for a stop-animation Zappos.com advert (for the internets and possible television!), so I took the offer (after a bit of persuasion from the girlfriend). I designed a few clothing items over a few days and went to the shoot, which was a lot of fun!

The final product is still in the works, but here’s a sneak peek at my designs!

And don’t forget to check out THIS LINK to see some more behind-the-scenes shots and some of the other great things Subversionz Media is doing! I’ll post again once the final advert is released!

Off to the Bering Sea…

Well, I completed my North Pacific Groundfish Observer training today in Anchorage, then pretty much got called to depart for Dutch Harbor tomorrow morning. No phone, probably very little if any internet, and just being on the ocean means you probably won’t hear from me, if at all, for around three months (but maybe I’ll get lucky and can get internet somewhere). Wish me luck, and enjoy your summers for me!

P.S. Almost at 30,000 views. I hope to see that it’s ticked over that amount by the time I check this blog again. If that’s not the case, I can’t blame anyone but myself for not updating with more interesting things. You may have more of a reason to visit this blog when I update it in November.
