The 100 Toughest Races in the World

Alcatraz Challenge
Description
The 1.5 mile swim course begins at Alcatraz and finishes at the East Beach of Crissy Field located in the Golden Gate National Recreation Area's Presidio Park (zoom into the upper right hand corner of the map to find East Beach). Those going on to the run follow the Presidio's popular Golden Gate Promenade, a dirt trail that winds its way along the San Francisco Bay. After about 1.25 miles and once past the Warming Hut and the Torpedo Wharf, runners make a sharp left, veering away from the water and up a set of wooden steps, along a dirt trail, through a brick tunnel and up onto the east span of the Golden Gate Bridge (about 400 feet of elevation gain in less than a half-mile). Crossing to Vista Point at the north end of the bridge, runners turn around and retrace their steps to the finish line.

Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel
I’ve been insanely busy at work the past couple months and unable to post anything. But, tonight is different! Here’s the latest trailer for the film I’ve been working on:

Until next time!
Interview with Production Designer K.K. Barrett
A friend at work sent this to me so I thought I’d share. It’s a nice interview with production designer K.K. Barrett who talks about his film work. Some of the directors he’s collaborated with are Michel Gondry, Sophia Coppola, and Spike Jonze. There’s some great stuff in here…from his journey starting out as a drummer in an early punk band to his design and thought processes for several films, including the upcoming Where the Wild Things Are. Definitely worth a...
Best Motivation Video
This has already made the rounds on Facebook, but I thought I’d repost it because I’m just a sucker for all things inspiring! Plus, animators usually benefit from some good old fashioned inspiration so I hope you find some in this as well.

Hello Again
Wow time has sure flown by since I last posted! I’ve officially wrapped up on Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel . I had a blast animating on it and met some great friends in the process. Lately, I’ve mainly been getting some much needed rest.
But, I do plan to start writing...
My Recap of the 2009 CTN Animation Expo
Recently, I attended the first annual CTN Animation Expo that took place in Burbank. To put it simply; the show was unbelievable! Congratulations are definitely in order to the organizers because this was one truly amazing event.
New Book: Animation (Walt Disney Animation Studios)
I got a fabulous new book in the mail this week. It’s the latest in the Walt Disney Animation Studios: The Archive Series and it’s called, Animation. This is the second book in the series and it’s every bit as impressive as the first (the first book came out last year...
BAFTA Interviews Editor Pietro Scalia
I just discovered some great videos on You Tube where BAFTA interviews editor Pietro Scalia. Many directors including Oliver Stone, Gus Van Sant, and Ridley Scott have all worked with him. The videos offer some wonderful insight into his editing process for films such as Good Will Hunting, JFK, and Gladiator among others. I’ve posted one of the videos below along with links to the rest. Enjoy! Click here to view the embedded video. The Editing of Gladiator The Editing of JFK The Editing...
Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel Opens Today!
Click here to view the embedded video.
Today is the release of Alvin and The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. I worked many months on this film so it’s really great to see it finally hit the big screen! A few weeks back I got to attend a special advanced screening at Fox Studios and I can say the film is pretty darn hilarious. If you like the Chipmunks or you have kids that do then definitely go see it.
Just For Fun
Geez, it’s been a little while since I last posted but I’m back! Here’s a walk cycle I was playing around with that I thought I’d share. One thing I’ve heard from some very experienced animators is to actually animate what you see in the animation books (rather than just reading it). It’s definitely a great way to really understand what’s being explained and gives you a more intimate sense of how that particular animator might approach...
Alvin & The Chipmunks 2 Animation Reel
[See post to watch QuickTime movie]
Here’s a quick collection of the shots I animated for Alvin & The Chipmunks: The Squeakquel. It was a fun project to work on and I’m really thankful for the experience. If you still haven’t seen the film yet, it’s now conveniently available on DVD & Blu-Ray!
