first day of work

so, i just finished my first day of the "real world" here at ellerbe becket. it seems like a cool joint. the office is pretty chill and wide open. I have a feeling I am going to be doing a lot of 3d type things which is ok, that seems to play a huge roll in their design process, hopefully meaning i may have the opportunity to offer my hand in some design decisions. however, as you know 3d max has the inate ability to be the prime source of all my frustration. ( maybe that was just knox induced)...we will find out.

I will have pics of the office and my space up soon. until tomorrow....peace.

i will say one thing...i can't wait until i am out of this immature, self-centered, politically currupt college we call capd.

So this is a project some of my of my buddies have been working on for past few weeks, and finished this evening. The project was to design and build a viewing box to be places in downtown Kansas City. The approach taken in this case however, was to capture sound. The "coffin" is to be placed on unused train tracks in the crossroads district. A user ( sorry wendy) then sits in the box, closing the door, being directly connected to the auditory life of KC. Acoustically the coffin is ment to capture sound and let it reverberate with in the space. Overall I think this project is pretty nice. it definately took a more tectonic roll and didn't just take the project at face value, like many of the other projects.

53 hours and 20 minutes left of architecture school...WOW what a ride.

anything to get me away from max

so yesterday i began my maiden voyage with
sony's vegas film editing software. my task, to create
a moving logo for our film which we have been working
on all year long. the film is set to premiere friday the
6th of may at 8pm here in seaton hall. the logo venture
went fairly well, things are still real rough and need
a lot of refinement; however, look pretty decent.
the above image is a still frame when the name of
our team is revealed. the people below are us, the
manifest studio.

a little ani for ya


people used to make records as in a record of an event
the event of people playing music in a room
now everything is cross-marketing its about sunglasses and shoes or guns
and drugs you choose
we got it rehashed we got it half-assed
we're digging up all the graves and we're spitting on the past
and you can choose between the colors of the lipstick on the whores

Now that is a big head!

And so another day begins.



If any of you know what this is, than you understand my angst when seeing this image. I have started every day of my final semester in architecture school gazing into the emptyness of this window on my computer screen. "five more days" that is what I have to keep telling myself.
