Highlights of 2010
1. SIGGRAPH 2010 in Los Angeles, California
The best week ever! I got to sit by the band All Time Low at O'Hare airpot, and I met Giovanni Ribisi at the SIGGRAPH store. I met a ton of awesome artist from all over the world! The Blur Party, the free stuff, zero sleep, lack of food, constantly running around, seeing the animation shorts at least 3 times, being in LA, meeting with studios, meeting professionals. I already blogged about SIGGRAPH once so go read it... but seriously, the best week ever.
2. Manifest 2010/Graduation
I'm putting this all in one group because well due to lack of sleep that's what it felt like. The completion of Suds, screening it at Manifest, the aftermath at Wabash Tap, and graduating with my APS Class. Awesome. The people I worked with are really amazing at whatever they did on Suds and I know they can do so much more. I'm trying to get together with some of them to make more shorts, but life gets in the way people so hold your pants on we will get around to it. If you haven't seen Suds yet, what is wrong with you.... It has an IMDB page BTW.
3. FanFoto
So this summer I got hired at Fanfoto, which seems a little weird to be putting on my highlights for 2010 considering everything that's happened but I really love this job. I get to walk around Wrigley Field and US Cellular Field talking to fans and taking their pictures to put on the Cubs or White Sox Fanfoto pages. I watch baseball and get to practice photography, plus I'm getting paid for this! BONUS: Due to the White Sox inability to make it to the playoffs, the Chicago branch was asked to go to Cincinnati to help out during their playoff games. I was one of the lucky ones who got to go. I went to a play off game, visited Ohio and Kentucky. It was a grand time!

Starting in April I got my very first ever internship at RPM Visual Media! I was so nervous for the interview but everything went great and for 3 months I learned After Effects and helped great Motion Graphics for EPK's for a variety of clients that I cannot even remember... haha smooth. Now I'm contracted with them in their Morgan Stanley Smith Barney campaign and I fill orders for EPK's. If you want to see a video I created check this link out! Click it.
