THE SIMPSONS NEWS I managed to finish my job early last week. I ended up getting put on a Simpsons video game project for the day. Looks fun. That’s all I’ll say about that. This week I started revisions on another episode. Fun show. My Act has some heavy rewrites but the theme is so [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS I was taken off episode 12 this week and put back on episode 11. It seems that episode 11 got some MORE rewrites and changes that needed to be story boarded. They asked me to do it so I am. There were rewrites in three out of the four acts. I finished [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS I started work on show 12 this week. Last week I just barely managed to finish my boards. There was more work on them than I thought. I’m not sure how successful I was with them. The director was out of town last week. I hope they can use them. Meanwhile, the [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS So of the time of this writing, the news broke out about how Fox is asking the actors to take a pay cut. I would like to say that the studio is “all abuzz” with the news, but we’re not. It’s kinda, business as usual. Naturally there’s some tension. We ALL want [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS Well, it looks like I’m going back to work a week early, which is awesome. I’ve managed to NOT worry about money these last few weeks by avoiding spending any money (aside from bills) and NOT looking at my bank account. Still, I know I need to start earning, we didn’t have [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS Not much to tell. Just plugging away at the scenes I need to finish. FAMILY This weekend was a very eventful one. It began Friday. Alesha and I celebrated five years of marriage. Well…we technically didn’t celebrate it until Saturday. We gave each other presents on Friday. I got her some “hair [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS Not much new to report. Had some very complicated scenes to do that really slowed me down. I don’t feel I’m pulling my weight this time around. Hopefully, by the end of today, I would have gotten enough done to feel better about it all. BOOKS My G.K. Chesterton drawing, from a [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS I’m doing Storyboard revisions on Lance’s show this week. All the other storyboard artists on the show were too busy to help, so they asked me to do it. I’m so happy they did because I’m having so much fun doing it. I’m enjoying going to work again. Doing the same thing [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS More twelve hour days. I’m really getting burned out. It’s getting difficult to stay focused. I’ve run out of podcasts to listen to and that isn’t helping. Usually I listen to six to sixteen podcasts a day depending on the their length but since I’ve been working more hours I’ve been [...]
THE SIMPSONS NEWS So, some of us are really starting to feel the effects of the strike. I, thankfully, am not. At least not yet. I was talking to a fellow co-worker and he told me that the crew he’s on has been told to take their time on their scenes. Once they are done [...]
