Hooray! A trailer is here. Please watch.
It's almost done. I promise. In other news, I've also done a bit of figure drawing in the fall. Here are some studies from class:

Via Appia and Wandering
My latest batch of photos, fresh from the Appian way and random city streets. Today featured the most beautiful weather and sights I've ever seen in my entire life.

ROMA
I am now in the land of Romans! Here are a few shots from my first week.
This morning we went to what we thought was going to be an Italian Independence parade. What we found, however, was much more hilarious and photogenic. Apparently by "Independence parade" they meant "Communist Rally."
And here's my favorite slide from our Roman orientation powerpoint:

A Walk in the Parks
Yesterday I took a stroll through Riverside and Central Park:

Times Square: Street Photos
Today we had a workshop with a street photographer by the name of Markus Hartel. After learning a bit about his techniques and insights, we were let loose on Times Square to see what kind of interesting images we could cook up. I'm rather shy about taking pictures of strangers (which makes me a horrible street photographer), so I took this opportunity to focus not so much on the compositions and content of the pictures themselves as coming up with interesting ways to process them in photoshop.
Also, another little Roman doodle since I'm on a bit of a Roman kick.

NYC Continued
Here be some more photos and doodles. The great architecture you see is a mixture of Grand Central Station, Grant's Tomb and the cathedral of St. John the Divine.

Greetings from New York City
The first week of my Cinema and Media Studies globetrotting extravaganza has successfully ended with a wonderful Introduction to the sights, sounds (and smells) of New York City. Two weeks from now, I'll be flying off to Rome, and three weeks after that I'll be making my way to Prague by way of Northern Italy and Austria. Accompanying me on my travels is a group of twenty four fellow Carleton students who all share a love of photography, new media, and snazzy digital cameras.
This is the first round of photos I've taken over the past few days. Some are heavily photoshopped, others not so much. I'm snapping about 300mb worth of pictures a day, so expect to see a heck of a lot more in the future.

Spring Break and Such
A few test images I took over break with my brand spankin' new Nikon D60:
I'm still trying to get a hang of all the different controls and image formats, but it's already very apparent that this wonderful little camera is capable of producing some fantastic images. I'll be bringing it along on my grand tour to New York, Prague, and Rome, so expect to see a fair share of graffiti, skyscrapers, rustic sunsets and intriguing locals popping up on blarbus throughout the coming months.
And another little doodle just for fun:

Alistair Sloan: Post-Production
The movie is definitely coming along nicely, and is now in the final stages of post-production. Visual effects are, for the most part, completed, and the overall cutting and pacing of the movie has been laid out and tinkered with. The last big step coming up will be polishing everything to make it sound and look awesome. This includes our composer starting work on the musical score as well as a few of us going through the film shot by shot, making sure the sound and image is as clear and vibrant as it can be.
And as the post-production winds down, marketing and distribution is being fired up. Posters, DVD menus, special features, and packaging are all in the pipeline. Below are a few stills from the visual effects shots as well as the current version of our poster.
