Mission to Mars

China just launched a robotic mission to Mars. I anticipated this mission! I made a short video a couple years ago for my conversational Mandarin class about a trip to mars. You can watch it here:

Here is a report about the real mission. I hope they will be happier than I was.

The Orville Sharkbiter plan for election reform


With the recent discussion about elections and election reform I decided to post a clip on election reform from my sort “Make ’ em Squirm: The Sharkbiter Way”.

You can watch the clip at: https://youtu.be/ZDhRMo8AIak

You can watch the complete interview at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-9y-Bf6abU

Please note that the election reform proposal in this video is not a serious proposal.

"The ZOOM Bomber" – Update 2

I got some more feedback on "The ZOOM Bomber" this week. I made some revisions to the script and worked on the story board.

The script has a fight scene, and I am by no means a fighter, so I asked a friend of mine who used to train in fighting to review my script. She had some useful comments on the fight scenes. I made some revisions to the script based on that. The scene is brief, so there were not a lot of changes to make. It is a more realistic fight now.

I did some more work on the story board. I only got about 3 more done, but I did give some more thought to what direction I want to go. I worked out a list of images I still need create, and it came out at over 60. I’ve got 8 done so far.

One thing I am thinking about doing is to make more use of photographs for the storyboard. Creating environments from scratch can be time consuming. I also experimented with carbonifying the photographs, so they match the image quality of the rest of the elements in the storyboard.
