Maya's Notebook Trailer

     This is a group project to create a trailer for Isabel Allende's new novel, Maya's Notebook.

It's hard to parse apart who did what, but, for the sake fairness, here's everyone who was involved followed by what I did:        Priscila Caballero
                                        Steven Celiceo
                                        Cory Fuller
                                        Lenny Hung
                                        Lisa Purdy                          
                                        Nic Rudy
                                        Polly Tzelepis
                                        Richard Watson did all the sound (except for the clean main theme heard at the beginning by Kevin Macleod), boarded the final concept for the trailer,  used Cory's village and interior and animated it with stars behind, animated the slot machine using Priscila's highway signs, animated the truck sequence using Priscila's painting, created animated dance scene, painted the disgusting hallway, created the figure-in-doorway-revealed-by-flash-of-light scene, some coloring, some editing, some compositing.

Schrödinger's Cat


Schrödinger's Cat
      (a cinquain)

Come here
my feline friend,
climb into this sealed box.
Never mind the Geiger counter,
silent.

Meow?
Not yet observed,
the cat observes itself:
You may reveal so much to us,
or not.

Alas,
the box top lifts.
He rolls His lofty dice.
No longer entangled, moggie
sleeps deep.

Stuff In Anticipation of Roy's Arrival

I'm posting this stuff because I told my friend Roy to check out my blog, so know I have to put up something at least maybe worthwhile.


Dear Peg Entwistle, We're sorry you felt that way.


But if you would just be patient.  Sincerely, Richard
