Wow. I opened up my film, Thought of You on Vimeo, and I’m completely overwhelmed with all the comments and interest in this short film. I’m so glad it is being received so well. 40,000+ plays in just 3 days! Please feel free to post under “Comments” on this site as well.
In mid, January, I’ll be holding my first exhibition with this film, ”Thought of You” and the artwork at Brigham Young University (see previous post). After that, I’ll be looking for additional galleries/schools to exhibit in. Accompanied with the exhibit, I offer workshops and lectures ranging from the basics of animation principles to an complex look into the creative process of artists and animators. Just shoot me an email if you, your gallery or your school is interested. Would love to hear from you.
