A new toy for me!

 SO I finally upgraded from poser 7 to Poser Pro 2012! The software is amazing, it renders so much faster and also has a feature called wardrobe wizard included which makes rigging clothing, hair etc. between different models much easier. Previously, I would have to do this all manually, moving bones of the skeleton to match each other and working with hair would be very tedious. Well, no longer! The only downside is that because it works so much better and the options are astounding, we are going to re do the comic that we finished titled Collapse, adapted from a story my son wrote. Below are a few pages of the book.

The Adventures Of Mr. Alterniverse

 So my sons and I are into comic books. We read, collect, you know regular nerds haha. Anyway, so the local comic store we go to is owned by a guy I went to school with as a kid. My son and I came up with an idea to stay busy. We proposed that the shop should start a one sheet comic strip, with the hero baring a likeness to the owner. Since the store is called Alterniverse, we used that as a temp name. I made a 3s model of the store and we created the superhero, modeled after the owner. We are still in the process of writing the stories and storyboarding, but I do have a mock cover done! Hopefully this will all work out and we can also create an online digital story of it!

The Basement Door

A few years ago I wrote this story titled "The Basement Door." I have been meaning to do something media related with it. My first thought was to develop it into a script and shoot a short indie out of it. I had also written the sequel which takes place a few years after and thought perhaps if the first tale goes well, I have an immediate set up for a sequel. Well, after almost a year of bouncing ideas in my head and trying to think of castings etc., I decided to create a hybrid type of digital story. I shot live footage of my daughter narrating the story and used cgi and visual effects with stills to set the story. I have also begun another rendition, using all 3d models, because for the sequel, the story gets a bit darker and I receive to subject my daughter into that. I hope that you do enjoy it, it is not perfect, however I feel the story tells well, with the right feeling. I will eventually do something with this story. I promise myself that every once in awhile.
