Stop by and vote for my new music video on MTV!

Blogger Lindsay Says:

Upfront, this is the Freshmen video I am pulling for this week. It’s adorable and clever and quirky. (It has a talking flame! And a singing audience of muppets!) The song itself is, in a word, wonderful. While it discussing rather disheartening topics, the melody remains so fast-paced that you’re not sure how to feel, much like the song’s subject. Very, very well done.

Thanks!

I needed to cut together a demo reel for that panel discussion a few weeks ago with Dave Levy and Brown Johnson, so I thought I’d share it.

Here’s a very simple rig I made in Maya. Just for fun. You can animate the head, torso, hands and feet. Maya will create dynamic hair curves between the body parts. It will look all wiggledy.
