A random sampling of my earrings and critters. I'm trying to figure out a good place to sell these things other than Etsy or other online shops. I would love to have them on display in a boutique somewhere in an artsy neighborhood.</div>

I had to draw her!<br />

I have been drawing like crazy but never seem to motivate myself to put it up on the blog.<br />
I recently took a vacation to Paris (second time now, I know!) with my mom for our birthdays. It was FREEZING cold there, low 30s every day. I brought a sketchbook but didn't have much time to draw but managed to sketch my version of a Parisian girl. They're all stick thin, wear big scarves, designer coats and carry luxurious leather bags. Each girl is more pretty than the next and they carry themselves with poise and grace. Yes, I was jealous of their style.<br />

I made little Zot here for my friend Lauren who is getting married in a month. I need to make Josephine Bruin next. They will function as little wedding cake toppers at her wedding. Lauren went to UCLA and her fiance went to UCI. I liked how Zot came out, but Josie will be a little more challenging.<br />

I'm pretty excited for this one; it's a 2d/3d hybrid which means new challenges, a new pipeline and a whole new look for DreamWorks! I'm back in the Layout department after a brief stint in Lighting and look forward to working with the Layout artists again. Here's the <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/dreamworks-me-my-shadow-kate-hudson-bill-hader-286141">official voice talent announcement</a> from the HWR.<br /><br />Outside of work I've continued to draw in my sketchbook and been working with my roommate on some little side projects. Our latest is making handmade stuffed animals. We don't exactly know what we're going to do with them, but for now it's a fun bonding experience and keeping me sane!!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eHWcal55CHU/Tzbu5qFPYVI/AAAAAAAAEOU/8JejqXwcQuE/s1600/P1060963.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eHWcal55CHU/Tzbu5qFPYVI/AAAAAAAAEOU/8JejqXwcQuE/s320/P1060963.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708012252054905170" border="0" /></a>Our Sea Lion<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EZzwU0qDmTs/TzbvCfKS-RI/AAAAAAAAEOg/cYSKrdJIC2g/s1600/P1060967.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-EZzwU0qDmTs/TzbvCfKS-RI/AAAAAAAAEOg/cYSKrdJIC2g/s320/P1060967.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708012403742144786" border="0" /></a>Fox, Elephant and Bat (works in progress)<br /></div>Fireflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559561411067137731noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753299051930867445.post-51275998215500314552011-12-08T09:39:00.001-08:002011-12-08T09:45:10.295-08:00Dreamworks' Holiday Bazaar<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hYaXHtKNYdk/TuD3eZuFSVI/AAAAAAAAEN0/KXaqIyYoNU4/s1600/04-Tiny.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-hYaXHtKNYdk/TuD3eZuFSVI/AAAAAAAAEN0/KXaqIyYoNU4/s320/04-Tiny.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683814831413872978" border="0" /></a>Last night we had our Holiday Bazaar at work. I sold about 13 items and made a few dollars. This was definitely an experiment, since I've never done anything like this before. I now know that bunnies are a hot item, and that I need to add them to my Sculpey menagerie next time! The one animal I *didn't* make!<br /><br />I will keep my little critters at my desk if anyone needs a last minute Christmas gift!<br />Here's a picture of Rebekah and I at our table last night!

I decided to call em Teenie Tines, cuz they're so little. In fact, I made my smallest creation yet, 2 wee sheep smaller than a quarter. How I did it, I haven't a clue, I just got in the zone. I'm reluctant to sell them, because they're so darn cute, but I think I won't have a problem actually having someone purchase them.<br />I've started to glaze a few things, just to see how it looks. I do like the matte finish but some things just look better glazed and I think it'll protect the clay and the delicate parts.<br /><br />Here's the background of my business card that I whipped up today. I used <a href="http://www.vistaprint.com/vp/ns/default.aspx?xnav=welcomeback&xnid=removecookies&rd=2">Vistaprint</a> and it was relatively inexpensive. It's the shipping that gets ya!!<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fGd-pwUObO4/TsmMQHTc6qI/AAAAAAAAENE/PctIk_fqqjg/s1600/business%2Bcard.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 285px; height: 161px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-fGd-pwUObO4/TsmMQHTc6qI/AAAAAAAAENE/PctIk_fqqjg/s320/business%2Bcard.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5677223013743651490" border="0" /></a>Used Frankie as my logo-ish thing.

This made me absolutely sick and I wanted to do something about it. So I googled some wildlife adoption sites and after comparing WWF to this other one called <a href="http://www.awf.org/">AWF</a>, I opted for AWF. WWF has a reputation for being shady, and I definitely wanted my money to go help a cause, not disappear to nowhere.<br /><br />So I found out I could adopt an orphaned rhino named Jabari for 35 dollars. I wish I could donate millions of dollars to help animals. I hate the thought of growing up and witnessing animals going extinct, it's so horrifying. And it's real!! This isn't a movie.

I'd like to sell them at DreamWorks Holiday Craft Fair, but I'm not even sure if they're having one this year.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h-KWd49ZlIg/TrIbAhlG9II/AAAAAAAAB3c/LU3gUCfPYnA/s1600/P1060674.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-h-KWd49ZlIg/TrIbAhlG9II/AAAAAAAAB3c/LU3gUCfPYnA/s320/P1060674.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670624576640840834" border="0" /></a><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TGYsA9JrfoM/TrIbLfjyKaI/AAAAAAAAB3o/-zrK6baUjNg/s1600/P1060675.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-TGYsA9JrfoM/TrIbLfjyKaI/AAAAAAAAB3o/-zrK6baUjNg/s320/P1060675.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670624765076973986" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Kv_EOqkeSco/TrIbWd4gLoI/AAAAAAAAB30/9xfv2_CJ1S4/s1600/P1060679.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Kv_EOqkeSco/TrIbWd4gLoI/AAAAAAAAB30/9xfv2_CJ1S4/s320/P1060679.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670624953605566082" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V7kwVPphWFM/TrIbeTkRIVI/AAAAAAAAB4A/4Zy6kNOSfCk/s1600/P1060680.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-V7kwVPphWFM/TrIbeTkRIVI/AAAAAAAAB4A/4Zy6kNOSfCk/s320/P1060680.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670625088275292498" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lGrZ0FzSRSQ/TrIbnz27tpI/AAAAAAAAB4M/5fBZtIgcWiQ/s1600/P1060682.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-lGrZ0FzSRSQ/TrIbnz27tpI/AAAAAAAAB4M/5fBZtIgcWiQ/s320/P1060682.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670625251562337938" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qs4R9nfEPlE/TrIb2whkdEI/AAAAAAAAB4Y/41aA-Jao9ns/s1600/P1060685.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Qs4R9nfEPlE/TrIb2whkdEI/AAAAAAAAB4Y/41aA-Jao9ns/s320/P1060685.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670625508365464642" border="0" /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TjjOvR7514c/TrIcYRIHcOI/AAAAAAAAB4k/9fzzFAxHxQM/s1600/P1060688.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 180px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-TjjOvR7514c/TrIcYRIHcOI/AAAAAAAAB4k/9fzzFAxHxQM/s320/P1060688.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670626084052758754" border="0" /></a>Fireflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559561411067137731noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753299051930867445.post-71016767426544933102011-10-21T17:33:00.000-07:002011-10-21T18:09:50.569-07:00That's A Wrap (Kitty Edition)<div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MnPqQPm5ydA/TqIXs_T2coI/AAAAAAAAB1w/ZSQ71nmdAtU/s1600/P1060482.JPG"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-MnPqQPm5ydA/TqIXs_T2coI/AAAAAAAAB1w/ZSQ71nmdAtU/s320/P1060482.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5666117342861881986" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:78%;">I took Traci to the Premiere</span><br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">My last "That's A Wrap" was for my beloved How To Train Your Dragon last year.

Let's see. After Layout ended, I did a stint in a *super fun* department called Lustre to help wrap Puss in Boots (which comes out Oct. 28, go see it). Lustre is basically the color timing of the whole film and you work laaaate hours in a dark room for days, weekends, holidays on end. Good times!!<br />When I was between taking notes, I would draw in my sketchbook, and draw I did. Here's a smattering of stuff.<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wB3spc8Hq8w/TpZWnmHkc9I/AAAAAAAAB0M/mBW-I3RabhU/s1600/stuff001%2Bcopy.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-wB3spc8Hq8w/TpZWnmHkc9I/AAAAAAAAB0M/mBW-I3RabhU/s320/stuff001%2Bcopy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662808819712160722" border="0" /></a>Animals from the animal blog I mentioned before.<br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KTzH1J9QBlA/TpZaF2cPBaI/AAAAAAAAB0w/OylGPs8NAus/s1600/stuff002%2Bcopy.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 320px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-KTzH1J9QBlA/TpZaF2cPBaI/AAAAAAAAB0w/OylGPs8NAus/s320/stuff002%2Bcopy.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662812638024762786" border="0" /></a>Some sketches of Puss.<br /><br /></div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UcTH4FE--Qg/TpZai7N2oTI/AAAAAAAAB08/9kgXFlMad2I/s1600/stuff003.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UcTH4FE--Qg/TpZai7N2oTI/AAAAAAAAB08/9kgXFlMad2I/s320/stuff003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5662813137522827570" border="0" /></a>Sketches of some raccoons and my dog sleeping on the foot of our coffee table.

color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">Valentine's Day</span> isn't my favorite holiday. In fact, I find it rather insulting to be honest. If I were to celebrate it, I'd want it to be low key. No fluff. But this year, I am embracing the fluff, by making valentines for my layout crew on PiB. I figured I'd try to be positive this year and create some good karma by making others happy.<br /><br />I went online and googled vintage valentines for inspiration. I found so many cute ones it was hard to decide which ones to give a new spin too. I finally ended up with this one:<br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P7R5o8g7BQQ/TVbTNRF6vpI/AAAAAAAAAT4/mH2Ibiny4qc/s1600/0511-1001-0122-0871_Vintage_Valentine_Card_Showing_a_Bandit_Raccoon_clipart_image.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 182px; height: 212px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-P7R5o8g7BQQ/TVbTNRF6vpI/AAAAAAAAAT4/mH2Ibiny4qc/s320/0511-1001-0122-0871_Vintage_Valentine_Card_Showing_a_Bandit_Raccoon_clipart_image.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572873813797551762" border="0" /></a><br />I liked the simplicity of it and the overall design. So I decided to add Puss to the picture and created my own. It was perfect and fit Puss' attitude. Hopefully it'll make my crew smile a little. At least I had fun drawing it and created a little project for myself.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hmHk7PW0u4k/TVbTryyibQI/AAAAAAAAAUA/Ame8tYpIXFU/s1600/puss_vday11.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 218px; height: 363px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-hmHk7PW0u4k/TVbTryyibQI/AAAAAAAAAUA/Ame8tYpIXFU/s320/puss_vday11.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5572874338239147266" border="0" /></a>Fireflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559561411067137731noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753299051930867445.post-42838023828501216352011-01-23T01:38:00.000-08:002011-02-13T12:39:06.300-08:00Lil' Sketch Book SketchesMy friend <a href="http://smulholland.blogspot.com/">Shane's</a> wife decorated this little sketch book and I fortunately received one for Christmas. It's a Moleskin so the paper quality is really nice and it's small enough for me to keep in my purse at all times. I try to draw in it when going out for coffee or to eat with friends. Last week I drew some cute bunnies and other random stuff while getting Starbucks with Traci, Erik and Andrew. I need to get an actual larger Moleskin and start drawing more often. I find, better the paper quality, the better quality of the drawings.<br /><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv5TT9Jl9I/AAAAAAAAAS8/OJsj-b9Po2Q/s1600/book005.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 169px; height: 275px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv5TT9Jl9I/AAAAAAAAAS8/OJsj-b9Po2Q/s320/book005.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565315874715965394" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv6GBK1JhI/AAAAAAAAATU/Aq2vAOk18WQ/s1600/fox001.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 173px; height: 260px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv6GBK1JhI/AAAAAAAAATU/Aq2vAOk18WQ/s320/fox001.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565316745846400530" border="0" /></a><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv6OkjXjmI/AAAAAAAAATc/cz1pdHyudJA/s1600/bunns003.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 177px; height: 270px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv6OkjXjmI/AAAAAAAAATc/cz1pdHyudJA/s320/bunns003.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565316892783513186" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv6cyPWSDI/AAAAAAAAATk/P3Dmt4c_ebk/s1600/bunns004.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 258px; height: 156px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv6cyPWSDI/AAAAAAAAATk/P3Dmt4c_ebk/s320/bunns004.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565317136975808562" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv6scnYeII/AAAAAAAAATs/pb1KGgnHHyI/s1600/bird002.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 269px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TTv6scnYeII/AAAAAAAAATs/pb1KGgnHHyI/s320/bird002.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5565317406048942210" border="0" /></a>Fireflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559561411067137731noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753299051930867445.post-14997758178698468652010-10-31T02:03:00.000-07:002011-02-13T12:39:29.951-08:00Halloweenie<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TM0x2S1JAQI/AAAAAAAAASo/2uwLtk1fC0A/s1600/minnie_07.gif"><br /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TM0xSEGhe9I/AAAAAAAAASg/3aYa6x-sqSI/s1600/cigar_minnie.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 192px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TM0xSEGhe9I/AAAAAAAAASg/3aYa6x-sqSI/s320/cigar_minnie.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534133703516715986" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-size:180%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;font-family:lucida grande;" >Happy <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Halloween!!!</span></span></span><br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TM0x2S1JAQI/AAAAAAAAASo/2uwLtk1fC0A/s1600/minnie_07.gif"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 246px; height: 320px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TM0x2S1JAQI/AAAAAAAAASo/2uwLtk1fC0A/s320/minnie_07.gif" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5534134325945630978" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /></div>Fireflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559561411067137731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753299051930867445.post-51876273237041131352010-10-20T21:13:00.000-07:002011-02-13T12:39:55.179-08:00Dragons DVD Takes Off!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TL_AlCDfz0I/AAAAAAAAASY/uXHcppRy5rE/s1600/thanks2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 383px; height: 229px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TL_AlCDfz0I/AAAAAAAAASY/uXHcppRy5rE/s320/thanks2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5530350609873489730" border="0" /></a><br />Hi Folks-<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TL-_ydFTwkI/AAAAAAAAASA/O-_-4rVg_Ic/s1600/66248_10100200185942586_2515479_57608705_7869159_n.jpg"><br /></a>Dragons came out on Blu Ray/DVD last Friday and so far it's doing really well! Dave and I watched it that night on his ps3, and even took pictures of the movie on his ps3 menu. All that hard work crammed into a little digital icon on his tv screen. The movie looks fantastic on blu ray and we watched with commentary from Chris, Dean and Bonnie. Thoughts, feelings and even overwhelming anxiety/memories took over me from sequence to sequence. We all worked so hard on this film and the final result really shines through. Congrats to the whole cast n crew!<br />As an added bonus, we watched Boneknapper, our second labor of love. Great stuff all around.

I have such an urge to travel somewhere far away, but haven't the time or the sufficient funds to do so just quite yet. Virgin America is offering some sweet deals to Seattle, WA and I am looking into that. It wouldn't be until the spring or early summer due to just starting on Puss In Boots. To take a vacation now would be sort of spontaneous and down right irresponsible. I must plan something fantastic!! The ultimate goal is to get to Europe by next summer. Destination: Switzerland if I can! I will settle for France or Italy too ;)<br /><br />I leave you with an iconic image of Swiss culture- the cow. So cute and quaint. I love that they are decorated with flowers and wear those big, brass bells. I will now day dream I am in a meadow listening to the cows graze on the sweet grass and Edelweiss.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TFupFFiX0OI/AAAAAAAAAQE/Z1p-p0dfy_4/s1600/swiss_cow.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TFupFFiX0OI/AAAAAAAAAQE/Z1p-p0dfy_4/s320/swiss_cow.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502177274613977314" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TFup0YGQF0I/AAAAAAAAAQM/3detp8Yymto/s1600/swiss_cows.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 173px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/TFup0YGQF0I/AAAAAAAAAQM/3detp8Yymto/s320/swiss_cows.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5502178087050155842" border="0" /></a>Fireflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559561411067137731noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5753299051930867445.post-52693442416862598452010-03-23T23:08:00.000-07:002011-02-13T12:42:01.058-08:00That's a Wrap!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/S6msiJwNloI/AAAAAAAAAP4/C1XvlSnOjY8/s1600/jess_toothless2.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TWiBOStc11Y/S6msiJwNloI/AAAAAAAAAP4/C1XvlSnOjY8/s320/jess_toothless2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5452078526642361986" border="0" /></a>HTTYD comes out on Friday. EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THIS MOVIE!!! I have never been so touched by a Dreamworks film before. The acting, the characters, backgrounds, lighting, EVERYTHING is a treat for the eyes, ears and soul. This film has so much heart and emotion. I have heard nothing but positive feedback from the trades and from viewers. I saw it for the first time, completed over the weekend at the crew screening and it blew my mind. I can't believe it all came together, after over a year and a half of hard work, end result shows it.<br /><br />It has definitely been an experience for myself and for the studio. I believe dragon will raise the bar not only for Dreamworks but for the industry.Fireflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02559561411067137731noreply@blogger.com0
