I was just looking at some videos on MeFeedia.com, and came across this amazing 3D animated short called 458nm. “It’s midnight. A smattering of moonlight falls upon the forest floor. Two mechanical snails move slowly through the darkness. They confront one another and briefly take the measure each other’s powers before uniting in love play. [...]

By jedypod | Published: May 1, 2007
Recently I happened across the animation “Rabbit” by Run Wrake, on the DVblog website (a rather prolifically updated compilation of interesting video). I had seen this screened in SOS: Media by Ruth Hayes previously, but thought I would share it here, as the 3rd post in this little series of interesting and notable “Multimedia Discoveries”. [...]

Sneak Preview

By jedypod | Published: April 14, 2006
Here is a short entry for a change. I just did another test key of Lumbar Laura dancing. I was worried about how well her hair would key, because even though I wetted it down with water to reduce the amount of stray hairs flying about, it was still not a solid object. Fortunately, it [...]

During Tue 04-04 and Wed. 04-05, I performed animation. On my media request form, I only put down 8 hours per week, not quite realizing just how little time this was. Running full-force into the brunt of time-shortage, I adopted the following strategy: work at night. I reserved two 4 hour blocks of time from [...]

Power Transformer Destruction

By jedypod | Published: April 3, 2006
Awhile back, I raided the Metal Dumpster in front of A-dorm for interesting metal and electronic parts. I found a microwave inside of which something charred had exploded, so I smashed it apart and took some various wire and circuit boards. I noticed that the power transformer had a wire coil in it that was [...]
