I just stumbled upon an interesting site. If you are of a particular bent, this is the sort of place where you might lose many valuable work hours. It is the International Dialects of English Archive. It might be helpful to listen to this when trying to get a handle a new character! Also, nerds just like absorbing catalogs of stuff.

By the way…I make no claim that this is the best or a unique resource, so share if you’ve got something cooler!
This last weekend, I had the honor of winning the award for Best Animation: Narrative for my short, “Pac(hyderm) Attack!”. It was also a great evening because I was able to provide all the motion graphics for the awards ceremony — all based on the Visions 2008 Bumper. I worked alongside the talented David Laster, who put together the DVD for the awards ceremony, and Prof. Maher, who gave us technical and aesthetic guidance – generally ensuring that the project went well and that the evening was a success.
There were some other excellent winners, and you can view the work at the American University SOC website. Be sure to check out Brad Lambert’s “Rhinos Rock”. It’s really wonderfully done and extremely funny!
Thanks!

I just got back from the iDMAa conference today. I was lucky enough to have my work selected for display. There were several other schools there, and some very interesting work.
My work was an animated short using After Effects, but I saw a lot of other installations that didn’t follow linear narrative forms (or any narrative form), and have gotten a few interesting ideas for next year! I’ll post my animation shortly.
