Intern work

I've been busy interning at a comic book publishing company called Studio 407 in Marina Del Rey, mostly doing lettering, color correction and assembly. I've worked on a number of comics: Hybrid, Golem and Shadow Chronicles as well as a few others. Everything is lettered in Illustrator, and then assembled for print in InDesign, so I have gotten to know those programs fairly well.

In addition to that, I have been helping them overhaul their website, www.studio-407.com. Chad the creative director, designed mockups for the site, and I have been implementing his design in Flash. I've been focusing on making it friendly on the backend, so that it is easy to update when needed, and I've been learning quite a few new things in Flash. Unfortunately, its fairly slow at the moment, and I'd like to figure out how to speed it up.

Several more websites I've worked on:
Havoc Brigade (Flash Animation)
Demon Squad (Flash Animation)
Studio 407 news (Dreamweaver)

On my own, I've got a few animation exercises that I hope to have complete by the end of the month. As well as any number of still pieces. Ellen and I also have two short films cooking.
