“The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”
- George Orwell, 1984
Demotions are not enough, condemnations are not enough. Do not settle for a a scapegoat. Kristi Noem and Steven Miller have attempted to vilify and slander their victims. They lied about what we can plainly see.
Bovino is not the only one responsible for what is happening. We cannot let them continue to try to control the narrative through lies and propaganda.
Call your senators, call your congressmen. Put pressure on the lawmakers to stand up for your constitutional rights.

If the execution of Alex Pretti feels different that’s because it is. Fascism creeps in, step by step, you don’t notice it at first, because it doesn’t affect you directly. This is by design. Lines have been crossed before the murder of Alex Pretti. And you let it go. You went on with your life. Ignoring all the small steps that led us here.
If this feels different to you, no matter your political affiliation, if this feels wrong somewhere deep down, you are not alone.
We the people need to come together and stop this authoritarian infringement on our constitutional rights.
If this feels different it’s because it is.

I don’t use this platform to share my political opinions very often. But this month I have seen masked federal agents operating as a partisan secret police force execute two American citizens in plain view of cameras. I have seen my government lie about the events that we all can see so plainly. I have seen my countrymen defend the extrajudicial killings of my fellow citizens.
This cannot be who we allow ourselves to be.
What you are doing right now, is what everyone else will do when it’s your corpse laying dead in the street. When it’s your brother, sister, mother, father, wife, or child they decide to put a bullet in.
This must end. Call your senators. Call your congressman. Uphold the Constitution. Impeach Kristi Noem. Abolish ICE.
And if our government fails us again. It’s time for a general strike.

Working on revising my spring lessons to be more focused on client centric work. Simulating fire is fun, but in a motion design context it’s rarely the hero element. Using fire as a light source is way more appropriate in most cases. And if you can sim fire yourself, you can art direct it!

A lot of the work I do these days is making example work for students so I can teach them how to make cool stuff like this! I am updating my camera tracking assignment that starts in a couple of weeks and this is the baseline for the tutorial!
Huge thanks to @kathysjoq for letting me shoot footage in her house, and for dressing all the sets for me!

My favorite day of the Fall Semester is when we get to shoot as a class in the Green Screen Studio. It’s an opportunity for such organic creativity to thrive. And a bit of role reversal. I may be operating the camera, but the students are in charge. They direct me on how they want their shots to look, and I help them realize their vision.
I am so excited to see all the great work they will make from yesterday’s shoot!

Something I love to do as a Professor is bring in industry professionals to critique student work. This fall we have had @pajji - an Emmy Award Winning Design Director, @gonzalo_janer - Founder and Creative Director of Punchy Motion, @sjo_off - Telly Award Winning Animator, Roy Yang - Head of Creative Services at @foundryteam
A huge thank you to these amazing people for taking time out of their busy schedules for my students!
And a huge thank you to our spring semester collaborators @timmylines and Ish Nazmi!
Just a quick render from Houdini! Looking forward to the @ringlingcollegemotiondesign annual mixer tonight! #karmarender #houdinifx #nukevfx #houdini #motiondesign #ringlingcollegeofartanddesign
One of my favorite parts of teaching is getting to come up with cool new lessons to teach my students. Which means a lot of RnD to find the balance between what is practical for a student to complete and what will inspire them to push themselves further. This year the students at @ringlingcollegemotiondesign are learning how to Model, Rig, Animate, Texture, Light, and merge animation with simulations in #houdini within the #solaris USD system. Shout out to @wirewheels.club for the awesome car model!

SWIPE FOR VFX BREAKDOWN ====>
Thermonuclear! Here is the other half of this little passion project I’ve been working on. This is probably one of the most complex sims I’ve built to date. With six individual simulations all working together to create this terrifying 300 Kiloton Thermonuclear Airburst. A blast like this, which is a very common yield on nuclear warhead, would cause a fireball a mile wide, two miles of severe blast damage, three to four miles of a massive firestorm, and a maximum light blast damage radius of 10 miles.
The inspiration for this particular blast is taken from a Russian RDS-6 Hydrogen Bomb and combined with some elements from the tests at Bikini Atoll.
And in all seriousness, let’s hope we never get to see these weapons used.
