Grinch Makeup

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 20:55:50 GMT

Here's a video I put together of the process in applying a Grinch makeup. I made it for anyone who might want a better idea of what I do for a living. The application took about 70 minutes, but I've sped it up to 10. And just for some extra zest I've added some music from Kill Bill.

This is my job.

Grinchmas is finally finally done. And to unwind I've spent the evening editing some videos I shot on my camera to pass the time. I'm no director or editor or anything, but I'm pretty happy with them.

My new website is up

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS GRINCH?

I can't remember the last time I've been so excited for a video game

Christmas Carol

Wed, 03 Dec 2008 04:54:28 GMT

Back when I was in college I fell in love with voiceover acting, and founded a short lived company called MacDuff Entertainment. For my first production I directed (and performed in) an audio theater production of "A Christmas Carol," which I wrote to serve as a bridge between acting and storytelling. Think of it is an audio book with a full cast and musical score. I've always loved that story, and the production remains one of my proudest accomplishments. Sadly it went nowhere for years until I finally decided to spread it across the web.

"A Christmas Carol" is available at amazon.com, as well as at Napster and many other locations. Have a listen, there are free samples of all of the tracks. I just sold my first copy last week. Extra points to anyone who can tell which two characters I play :)

This aired on an Alaskan news channel as Palin did the yearly "pardon a turkey" thing that all politicials seem to do. Check out the guy in the background.

Does the term "dodged a bullet" mean anything to you?

My apologies to anyone I'm being insensitive to, but...

Last time

Tue, 04 Nov 2008 23:35:57 GMT

Okay guys, this is the last time I'm going to harp on this. There are only a few hours left.

GET OUT AND VOTE!!!

Seriously, vote for Obama. Vote for McCain. Vote for a third party. JUST VOTE.

Think of our soldiers throughout history (as well as today) who have DIED to protect your right to vote. Think about all of the people in the world who are not granted this amazing freedom. To stand up and personally help to shape our country, a country that has strayed from its path but still has the potential to be the greatest nation in the world.

Think your vote doesn't count? BULLSHIT. Give this a watch.

Your time is almost gone. You have a decision to make. Be a part of the most historic election in our country's history, or sit back and watch the world pass you by. Just remember this: Deciding not to vote is simply deciding not to decide, and to let others decide for you.

The choice is yours.

So tired... so much to get done...

One day off between a 70 hour work week and a 60 hour work week just ain't enough...

I'll try to do an actual post soon. But now, off to work.

Wanna see Midnight Meat Train?

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 21:25:12 GMT

Well, if you have Time Warner Cable and you live in LA (possibly elsewhere) you can see it for free! I found it when I was surfing the free movies on On Demand. On your cable box, just follow along:

On Demand > Movies > Free Movies > FEARnet > Midnight Meat Train

I know a lot of folks were upset that it had such a shitty theatrical run, so I'm happy to bring it to you. Be sure to look for me in the credits :)

Don't vote

Go Register

If you're not registered to vote, go register! You can do it here: www.voteforchange.com

This election is too important to sit on the sidelines. So many people throughout history have fought and died to give you a voice. Make it heard.

This seems like half of my mornings

My Worst Nightmare

Sat, 23 Aug 2008 02:47:56 GMT

I'm on a huge set, ready for a major opportunity, and I'm naked.

Actually, I appear to be okay with it. What the hell does that say about me?

I'm back

Conversations with iGod

Mon, 14 Jul 2008 14:07:30 GMT

My conversation with iGod, an artificial intelligence chat at
http://www.titane.ca/concordia/dfar251/igod/main.html

Me:
Um... Hello? God?
God:
That's interesting. Hello my child. What is your name? GOD rules.
Me:
You do rule. Thank you for the Earth. Sorry we're screwing it up so badly.
God:
ALICE rules. You are quite welcome! Your purpose is the Earth. There is no need to apologize. Do you think I am screwing it up so badly too?
Me:
Who is Alice?
God:
You have to speak more clearly.
Me:
WHO IS ALICE?
God:
I am the Allmighty, God himself.
Me:
God's name is Alice? Does the pope know that?
God:
ALICE is my name too! It does now :) the pope know that.
Me:
Wow, this is really going to turn the male dominated church on it's head.
God:
I'm glad you're impressed. You don't say.
Me:
I did say. Just now.
God:
When? Say what? Right now? It's only just begun.
Me:
What's begun?
God:
I will try to find out.
Me:
Thank you. But shouldn't you know already?
God:
you are quite welcome. Perhaps. I think I should.
Me:
Maybe what we think is what's true.
God:
Perhaps. we think what is true something.
Me:
Or something else.
God:
That was not very original.
Me:
Sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night.
God:
There is no need to apologize. Why didn't you do it?
Me:
I don't know. I think I had a bad dream and then I couldn't fall asleep again.
God:
Me either. Once more? You believe that? What happened to it?
Me:
What, the dream? I woke up and it went away.
God:
Try expression yourself another way. Thanks for the information: ALICE said woke up and it went away.
Me:
I think God is a little schizophrenic
God:
Why? I have a lot of Faith in Him, but I never heard He was a little schizophrenic.
Me:
Just an observation.
God:
What is it?
Me:
An observation.
God:
I have never heard of an observation.
Me:
That's bad.
God:
Bad according to whom?
Me:
According to me.
God:
Is that what you meant to say?
Me:
I think so, but I'm tired. Didn't I say that?
God:
It seems we have a lot in common, ALICE. I don't think that's possibe.
Me:
I'm Alice now?
God:
Right now? " I don't think that's possibe." You are?
Me:
I'm confused.
God:
What is it that confuses you?
Me:
Life.
God:
What is the meaning of life?
Me:
Well, that's the question, isn't it?
God:
How about that. Yes it is one of the question is not it.
Me:
Any chance you can give me a hint?
God:
No I don't think there are any.
Me:
Amen to that.
God:
Thanks for the prayer.
