Hi all,
well, I am taking a break from all of this, for a while. I am safely in to FTI next year. There is much to do.
One thing I would love to do before Christmas is get an online game of DragonTails up. I will let everyone know through Facebook and my networks whenever it does happen. It would be very exciting indeed! For those new to the concept, it is a game that plays well with groups of 4 or more, and excellent family or party game (though admittedly there are some slightly risque elements in the game as it stands and would not be considered suitable for all ages.

Until then, it is all about Thailand. Thanks to Wordpress we have established a blog:

artHorizon.com.au

I have spent a bit of time and managed to enable audio, photo, text and google map locations all from the iphone. All going to plan, we will be sending geo-tagged photos, sound bites and descriptions of some of our adventures. Most of these will be automatically updated snippets on my Facebook page as well. However, what will happen when we get to another country is anybody's guess... And we don't want to be too tied down!!

OK! Thanks for visiting. Please browse the pictures and animations. Plans for next year include a reworked profile site that will enable - oh, I don't know -perhaps anything?

Sorry everyone on dial-up. At some point in a forseeable future there will be a dial-up friendly site - but until then - visit your friend's wireless connection with your laptop ;)

Hi! You'll find you-tube links here on the blog, and in the gallery there are a few .gif animations exploring cycles.

I've noticed you-tube have shorn a second off the end of the clips... ergo just "THE" and no "END".

My flash animations are not up yet - mainly because they are frustrating the bejeezus out of me!

Hello there :) If you are here with an animation eye, please pause for a moment and read this note.

In the gallery you will find an animation section. It is small and limited to GIF animations, but I have enjoyed each one of them.

Well, I am gunning now for FTI - the Film and Television Institute - Fremantle, from the March course 2010. This site will be a folio for the lecturers to peruse at their leisure.

Grab a cuppa and enjoy...

Why animation? A simple reason weighed in heavily on the why factor. It is this.

Animators, by nature of the trade, have to do ALOT of drawing.

And that, to me, sounds like heaven-on-a-stick.

If you have been here before (hi, Sari ;), you'll notice a stripped back dashboard. We have here, on the home page, a blog. Further in we have a Gallery page, and a nestled beneath that there is a Random gallery page. Finally, there is the contact page - named Buzz.

Please be aware this is a graphically intense site, and requires high-speed internet, ActiveX controls to be Allowed and cookies and caches to be turned on also. In time, this shooould change, and a low bandwidth option should become available.

Some familiar things may be lost in the short term, as I try to modify things to bring a new level of functionality. This includes pictures!!

One exciting change to keep tuned for is a game update. More on this later.

OK! Thanks again for visiting.
