Toastmasters

I'm a part of Toastmasters and one of the roles is Grammarian. It's the role I most often volunteer for. As Grammarian, you get to count how many times people say "Um..." "like" or any other filler word, stops and restarts and any other distracting word usage. At the end of the meeting, I report for everyone's benefit how many times they messed up. So basically, I'm distracted by focusing on all of the errors people make. I get to flex my critiquing muscles.

There’s something really wrong here...um the guy just looks different... oh I know... He’s writing with his left hand... what’s up with that? People don't use their left hand to draw or write anymore... you need to fix that and upload it again.... left hands... huh... what are you trying to do, start a uproar with all the right handed (majority) people... What are you trying to say Glenn? In fact I've seen all of your drawings on you blog, and I have to say there are a lot more left handed characters than right. What happened to equality? Next thing you know, you'll want to take away my job, and then you’ll tell me that I'm no good because the superior left handed people have more rights then we do. Why Glenn... why… we were friends...

I have wanted to join Toastmasters ever since hearing of it (probably 10 years ago or more). I DREAD public speaking. I'm one of those fear-of-public-speaking-more-than-death people. How long have you belonged? Has it helped?

Creating the Anhedonia Logo

This is the animated logo at the end of the new television show, Mr. Sunshine. Think "Sit, Ubu. Sit." or "Bad Robot!!" You can see it better quality at http://vimeo.com/20228001 A few months ago I got a call from my friend Matt Davis asking if I would maybe, possibly be somewhat interested in considering working on a logo like that for Matthew Perry. I jumped at the chance. The company is called Anhedonia Productions, and you're probably wondering what in the world "Anhedonia" means. It's the inability to experience pleasurable emotions from normally pleasurable life events. A pretty crappy situation, but comedy goldmine. I worked with Andy Erekson and Marcelo Vignali (and his daughter) to come up with a list of 50 ideas of what this logo could be within the theme that Perry had already set up. I boarded out 7 of those ideas and created 3 animated beta tests. Here are some of my favorites... For exploration: Face on Jumbotron Rodeo Christmas tre

Boss Baby (2017) Tim teaches BB about imagination - Deleted Scene

You've seen Boss Baby, of course.  This is the Sequence when Boss Baby and Tim are on the airplane headed to Las Vegas and they take the time to practice a little imagination play.  The idea was to explore what Boss Baby's version of imagination would be.  Initially, he's going to think of everything in terms of business, right?  A pirate ship would be made out of sky scrapers, naturally.  Ultimately it was cut for time, but it was a fun sequence to work on.
