Hey everyone. I updated my demo reel on my portfolio, please take a look

www.cerulo.com

I haven't made a blog post for about 7 months, but needless to say, I'm still living in NYC and working as a freelance 3D, Flash, and After Effects artist. I'm also currently working on a new independent flash game.

Somehow this website is still generating money, even after about 2 years of sparse activity! The internet is definitely a curious and powerful tool. Hopefully soon I'll be able to begin making more flash games again, although it will probably never be in my free time, like the old days

In other news, the film I had te pleasure of working on at Hampshire College in the Fall of 2008, "Tower 37" is now complete and entering the film festival circuit! It has already been accepted to several film festivals, screened in multiple cities (Including Amherst MA, Northampton MA, Los Angeles, and NYC (I attended the screening in Tribeca last Month)) and has been accepted to SIGGRAPH 2009! What a start!

While working on the film, I was doing texturing, lighting, and some other small odd-jobs, amongst a team of 16 incredibly talented student-colleagues). It is amazing to look back and realize how much my Senior year has taught me- and how much I've learned since. Although it was pretty tough commuting to Hamp. while dealing with classes and other workloads at Umass, it was definitely worth it and more.

I hope everyone out there that still visits ratubaworld is doing great! I'll post again the next time I have an update!

later
