87°F Mostly Cloudy

Rain chances increase by midweek this week. Our 90-less day streak looks to continue through this week with very little chance of getting out of the low to mid 80s! You can't beat this type of weather in August of all months!

Hello everyone! It's been a few months since I lasted stopped in for a visit. How are you guys? 

@Tavores: I like the Coca Cola spot, it looks neat.

Hey Donovan 

I've been doing pretty well. I can't wait to get started in my AE/web animation classes this fall semester. I wanna learn as much about AE as I can in addition to web animation. I've been seriously thinking about turning my scripted series I post here into a Youtube series for a few years now. It would probably be flash animation.

Thank you for the comment on the Cola animation. I was originally going to do an outline of a Coke bottle, center it, and have the bubble particles rise upwards from inside the outline of the bottle.

I redid Current Radar in Helvetica (I chose a Bold variant; thanks to Eric for IDing), it looks better and more realistic than the STAR Radar font I was using.

Perfect as far as heat is concerned. Even today we have not hit 75 yet! I'm glad we haven't seen more than a week worth of 90s this year. I've expressed numerous times here how much I hate the heat and I hate being down here in it so I won't go into a rant over that.

As far as the rain is concerned, yeah it's been rough at times, but as Patrick mentioned before, there's no balance with Mother Nature, you get one extreme (Flooding) or the other extreme (Drought). I personally rather deal with this flooding pattern over a drought situation any day. Plus, we've had a LOT of powerful thunderstorms, I'm getting to the point where instead of calling them thunderstorms, I'm calling them thunderbombs. Today was the first time in several days we had a good tropical downpour, since this weekend it's been mostly dry so we have gotten a break from the rain at times and it looks like we'll have more come August although the pattern is expected to remain the same.

The best news is we haven't had not one Smog Alert Day, not only this Summer, but 2013 in general. How often do you get to see that happen?

For my Intro to Video Production Class I'm doing a 30 sec commercial spot of Coca-Cola as my final project. I haven't edited all the shots I filmed yet, but I have put together the outro to the commercial which I did in After Effects. What do you guys think?

FILE WAS COMPRESSED DOWN FROM 632MB TO 5MB SO I COULD ATTACH IT.
