i haven't enjoyed the awesomeness of getting smashed and eating poutine in about 3 years and i didn't think i would until i next returned to Ottawa. thanks to Fritz on Davie and Granville, that is no longer true. not Ottawa-good, but very good. and very drunk. awesome.

buh.... [31 Jan 2007|01:31pm]
man. i thought december's episode was bad.......

this past month has probably been the worst in a long time. i totally slacked at first and then when i started to worry about getting my scenes done on time. i got food poisoning. i was out of commission for the better (or worse) part of a week.

now i'm home and rested after 13 hours of sleep that i needed terribly since i had been awake for 56 of the last 62 hours. my everything hurt.

suffice it to say after this very needed long weekend (i don't have to work until monday, maybe friday, but not on the weekend) i'll be hitting the ground running like a mofo.

you know you're in a bad situation when you're weighing the pros and cons of getting seriously injured to get out of work. i think kat had the best suggestion with a dislocated shoulder. i was thinking about getting mugged or just thoroughly beaten up, or perhaps stepping in front of a car.

but now that i've had some sleep and my mind can function normally i feel a lot better and i can reflect on it all. and after seeing the number on paper of how long i'd been awake and how little sleep i got i can understand why i was so fucking emotional the whole time.

i want to say never again. but, you know...

HALLIS FREY JARROD BLANEY

(there you go dan, now you not only know the correct spelling for my last name, but also my two middle names)

so my co-worker Lawrence and i got to talking about the beatles, because, you know, they're undeniably the greatest thing to happen to music since the creation of time and reality. and they will continue to be so beyond the apocalypse. probably the greatest thing to happen to mankind in the last century. and because the new album LOVE came out, plus i've been listening to the grey album a lot lately.

and RAGNAR (yes, that is his name, and it must only be spelled in capitals) jumps in and says that he hates paul mccartney. i reply by saying that Paul is undeniably a genius and that he has written some of the best Beatles song, but that he's the guy that everybody wants to hate and diminish (i used to). then Lawrence agrees and says that "Paul's the Cyclops of the Beatles." and he totally is!

then we decided that John was Wolverine. i suggested that Ringo was Beast but with something else (maybe some of Colossus' sturdiness and reliability?). i said that George was Nightcrawler, but with some of Iceman's sense of humour. but shy.

well. now that i've geeked out hugely, i'm either going to make a JLA hockey team in NHL 07 or continue with my Alpha Flight redesigns. you know, cool bachelor type stuff.

comedy and tragedy [26 Oct 2006|01:57am]
[ mood | geeky ]

so i bought an ass load of crap today at Elfsar. man, i'm a consumer whore. $80!!!!???? what the fuck was i thinking?

i got the newest casanova, action comics (co-written by Richard Donner??!!!), batman and the mad monk, the conclusion to 7 Soldiers (finally, about 7 months late), justice, the boys, superman/batman annual (which features a page of clark and bruce sleeping in the same bed, insulting eachother and hating every minute of it. sorry Mandy), Giant-Sized Wolverine, NEXTWAVE, and the new fables hardcover of short stories 1001 nights of snowfall.

which brings me to the tragedy. i just found out yesterday that Nextwave will end at issue 12.

this is heartbreaking. it's my favourite book right now. immonen never fails to blow me away with each issue, and the fact that ellis has some hilarious jokes on top of that just makes it amazing. ellis said that the single issue sales weren't good enough for them to afford to pay both ellis and immonen. they could keep ellis, but they'd need a lesser known artist. i'm glad ellis rejected that offer and said he couldn't do it without immonen. but he said it'd continue as a series of upcoming minis. hopefully immonen will draw all of them, otherwise there'd be no point to buy it.

it seems like the reason for all this is that marvel wants immonen on a hotselling title. which is great for him, hopefully he'll be given the same opportunity have fun with it. the current rumour i've heard is that he'll be taking over for mark bagley once he ends his run on Ultimate Spider-Man. i'd buy the hell out of that. i've never enough tried to imagine how spider-man would look drawn by immonen. i'd say it's safe to say it'd look retardedly awesome. and bagley's a big reason i stopped buying USM.

in other news, we all got raises at work. i'm pretty sure they hurried up with the raise because so many people've quit recently. i'm stoked on it. i also was able to finally (FINALLY FINALLY FUCKING FINALLY!!!) get to switch to mornings. that starts monday.

and i'm back to work on my comic. Dan said he'd be on my case about it, so that'll help too.

Saturday 3:30pm YTV Ruby Gloom episode 2 Grounded in Gloomsville.

it's the first one i worked on (kat and steph too). i think i did about a minute's worth of the show.

there's a lot of Scaredy Bat, so that's fun.

on another note, HMV's Monster Sale owns my soul. i've bought 10 dvds in 2 days. but i only spent about 100 bucks and i got a sweet ass haul.
yesterday i got:
-Young Frankenstein
-The Party
-28 Days Later

-Pulp Fiction (special edition)
(2 for $30)

and today i got:

my show premiers today! [13 Oct 2006|10:38am]
[ mood | hungry ]
[ music | Ruby Gloom theme. ]

so, the not particularly top secret show i'm working on is premiering today at 6pm on YTV (channel 25 on national cable) and again Sunday October 15 at 11am. i think the latter will be the regular schedule from then on.

it's called Ruby Gloom. think if Craig "don't call me Phil" McCracken's Powerpuff Girls meets the Beetlejuice cartoon (actually, our director worked on Beetlejuice). it's a little more good natured and a touch more heart warming. but it's still pretty fun and funny. i didn't work on the first episode and it's probably the weakest episode all around, since they were still trying to set the style, but it'll introduce you to the characters and it's still pretty good.

my episodes so far are 2, 3, 4, 6, 8. and, believe me, they get funnier by the episode. each new animatic for the upcoming episode makes me laugh harder and more frequently.

Grossology, the other show my studio does is already airing Sunday mornings at 8:30. it's been a few weeks now, i think. i worked on episode 2, but it was still my training so it was only three short scenes that were hellish for me to do and i could probably do in 2 days way better now. that's a pretty cool show, i think it'll do well. each episode gets grosser than the last!

here's a link to the Ruby Gloom YTV page:
http://www.ytv.com/programming/halloween/#
you can watch clips. scroll down to the "Ruby Gloom" link in the CATEGORY section after you've watched the intro, which, by the way, is probably the coolest show intro i've seen in a long time. catchy damn song too. Kat actually animated the entire "Fun with Socks" sequence.

so yeah! check it out!

Friday October 13 (today) 6pm YTV (25), Sunday October 15 11am YTV.

toys 'n crap! [29 Aug 2006|01:40am]
[ mood | tired ]
[ music | 400 Years - Bob Marley & The Wailers ]

my mother shipped all my comics and toys and random shit out here. it'll be here hopefully tuesday. i can't wait. but i have no room for all that shit. like at least a half dozen large boxes will be arriving. 3 long boxes of comics. packed crazy full. at least 3, probably 4, large boxes of Masters of the Universe figures (originals, of course), MotU vehicles, Snake Mountain, Castle Greyskull, GI Joes (the 5" ones. greatest toy in the universe), GI Joe vehicles and bases, and, hopefully a bunch of my superhero figures, mostly X-Men. and a box of old sketchbooks that'll probably freak me out more than interest me.

i met James Jean yesterday. that was awesome. looking through his portfolios totally blew me away. and actually inspired me to draw my ass off. but also planted a seed of "you're never going to be that good, so don't bother trying" feelings. i got him to sign the Escapist #2 which he did the cover for (under Steve Rolston's signature, who did most of the awesome interiors), my Fables trade, vol. 5 because i like it's cover the most. Emi bought me a print (had to get the second cheapest, because neither of us can afford more than $15). and on top that i got a free sketch from him in my little sketchbook. i got him to do the escapist for me. it was a last minute decision over Green Arrow. i would've asked for a superman, but i like to get artists to draw what they've worked on, and how i know them.


.... oh, and yes. of course i considered getting a Bigby Wolf from him.



i'm also acknowledging the complete absence of stuff related to my supposedly in the works comic up here. well, i totally got far behind on it with my hectic life and odd work schedule. last week was supposed to be my first week of hard work on getting it going and improving myself artistly. but it turned out to be my week of turning completely nocturnal. i swear. not a day went by that i didn't sleep past 1pm. i'm hoping that won't happen this week.

so, no excuses. i'm slow. and procrastinate-y. but i still have been thinking about the story a lot. i've dropped issue one entirely. i was finding it painful and slow to write. and i figured if that was going into it, then that's how people would feel reading it. the whole point to this excersize is fun. i want it to be a fun story, that's exciting. trust me. new issue #1 will be full of fun and excitement.

i'll have designs or rough layouts up in a few weeks i promise.

piece out.

episode #2 in the can! [22 Jul 2006|07:59pm]
[ mood | hot ]

so, we met our deadline of finishing ep. 2 by friday. and i hit quota this week! i practically hit it in two days.

so what if those two days conisted of 46 hours of work. i've only pulled a couple all nighters in my life, but i've never done 2 in a row. that was fucked. i came in 3 pm-ish wednesday, and didn't leave until 7 30 am. then i went home and slept for 5 hours. then i got back to work for 3 30 pm thursday and didn't leave until 9pm friday.

... actually, i left to meet Emi for lunch and pay my overdue phone bill. i think all that worked really focused me and knocked me up to a new level. i'm still no star, but it gave me a better understanding of the style and speed of the show.

that being said, i hope to never pull another all nighter again.

now for dinner!

[ music | David Bazan - cold beer and cigarettes ]

hey, so i just minutes ago finished plotting out the first draft of issue the first of my comic. i'm not posting any of the art or script just yet, because it's in such a rough form that it wouldn't be worth it. but, using only rectangles of equal size and basing it on the 6 panel grid, it's at 19 1/2 pages. this may grow or shrink (or grow in some places and shrink in others. ah, comic puberty) as i have only roughly given myself room for dialogue. i don't intend to get too wordy, which'll be hard consider i have a real knack for running my mouth.

in the end, i plan on printing this up in a collected format with chapters rather than issues, but i'm aiming for my chapters to be self-contained stories that are about the length of an average issue.

i'm going to show this draft to a couple of people, don't be offended if you're not one of them. i just don't want to show too many people my comic at this stage because i don't want to ruin the fun (hopefully) of reading the completed, or close to completed version. after i get some feedback and refine it some more i'll have a second draft done with better sketches done in a week or so. now is the time for me to start doing style studies and life sketches in anticipation of the later steps.

but i'd like some info from you fine folks. what's the average comic length? i've been flipping through my marvel and dc comics and counting the pages. they seem to be about 21-22 pages an issue (not counting ads. if you count ads, marvel books become about 300 pages long). it was sort of hard to count the marvel books because they always have pages that are neither content nor ads. (on an unrelated note, i've decided to boycott all marvel titles other than nextwave because they cost too much and they're pretty terrible. plus dc's a million times better ;P and you gotta love the indies)

i guess that's it. oh yeah. to any lurkers who don't have livejournal or aren't on my friend's list, i've changed it so that anyone livejournal user or otherwise can post here.

thanks.

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're not any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your livejournal along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. Lovey Dovey - The Clovers (i got this great Doo-Wop classics double cd set from the helen manning/discount bin at chapters when i still worked there. this song is definitely the best song on it.)
2. Joey - Concrete Blondes (i've been sitting across from a guy named Joey at work all month, and every day. EVERY DAY. i get this song stuck in my head. i've never actually known anyone named "Joey." i've known Joes, and Josephs.)
3. Tim, I Wish You Were Born a Girl - Of Montreal (Kailey and Kim were singing this at the comic jam on saturday, and so i've had it in my head for a while. i hadn't listened to it in ages. btw: they're playing her September 1 at the Plaza Club)
4. Sex Machine - James Brown (my supervisor was playing a ton of James Brown last night. AWESOME!)
5. Maybe I'll Catch Fire - Alkaline Trio (it recently dawned on me that i hadn't listened to them in ages, so i put it on. still like 'em a ton)
6. Mr. Moon - Mando Diao (a promo cd i got from Virgin when i worked there that i never really listened to until a couple of months ago. friggin' awesome. totally 60's pop rock plus 70's garage rock. crazy swedes)
7. Can't Wait To See You - Neva Dinova (the singer's got a really cool voice. the song is very atmospheric and powerful because of it.)

no telling when these pelvic thrusts will stop [07 Apr 2006|10:04am]
[ mood | chipper ]

so. i think i'm employed. well, more employed.

tuesday, while TA-ing CA20 (specifically, helping the hottest animation student i've ever seen), i got a phone call. i didn't answer it, because i was working, but at 4pm i checked my messages and it was from Mercury Filmworks. they said that someone couldn't come in for training so they'd like to offer me their spot. so the next day, wednesday, and thursday, i was at Mercury training on ToonBoom Harmony.

wednesday it was kind of weird getting used to the program (think flash meets USAnimation), but by the end of the day, the Mercury Ottawa animator said that my walk cycle was great and that if i came to the Ottawa studio and did their test he'd give me a job.

thursday was a little easier. i continued working on the walk cycle, and, in the afternoon, the ToonBoom rep talk us the Morphing tool.

we were all only called in for the two days of training, so near the end of the day Kent (the guy who interviewed me) came in and told us all that they'd get back to us after they moved locations, which would be in a few weeks. so, people started taking off at that point. i decided to keep animating, but after a few minutes it looked like everyone was leaving, so i started getting my stuff together and, while doing so, Kent came up to me and asked if he could see me in his office. in his office, he told me that they'll be having some of the more promising people back next week for more training and that they'd like me to be there. he said a couple of times about how strong my stuff was and that they'd really like me aboard. and if the training goes as well as they hope, that i could help train future hires. obviously, i said i could come in.

so i'll be back monday and tuesday. from there i don't know how often they'll need me. i know the production on the show starts in May.

still waiting for a confirmation from Carlos about the Canary island job.

hopefully i'll be able to continue teaching at VanArts, it's really fun.
.... and has very little to do with the spicy encharido in CA20.

but, suffice it to say, i'll be putting in my two weeks at chapters very soon.


oh yeah, Rob. fido was retarded yesterday, i got your message eventually. i'd love to hang out and draw, but as you can see, my next week or so is pretty up in the air, so i can't make any plans yet. i'll tell you as soon as i know i have some time.

ROLLERCOASTER!!! [22 Mar 2006|05:22pm]
[ mood | sick ]

craziness!!!! craziness i tells ya.

for the past few months i've been having a hell of a time drawing, i'm been rather dissatisfied with the level i'm at (before everybody jumps on the "shut up hallis, you're good, stop pitying yourself and get over it" wagon, i realise i'm good. but i'm not at a professional level, and that's a fact. and that's why i've been down on myself). this had become a brutal cycle, as did my "i can't get a good demo reel until i get some good drawings and a good computer, and i can't get a good computer until i get a job that can pay me well enough to save money" mentality. pretty self-defeating.

but then, in frustration, i went to the school, bugged Zoe, Johnathan, and Stephen about getting a job as a TA. i also sent off a bare bones reel off to Mercury Filmworks. within the week i was at the school TA-ing CA20's animation class and i was arranging a job interview at Mercury. then nothing for a bit....

tuesday i had my interview, which went incredibly well. i'll be surprised if i'm not given a job. and yesterday Stephen asked me to be his Lifedrawing TA. so things are good again.

but here's the real big dilemna:
all while this has been happening i've been corresponding with Carlos about getting a job working on his spanish tv cartoon. it seems promising. really promising. and it's in the Canary Islands. but i'd have to move there soon. really soon. now i have to figure out what the hell to do. Mercury or the Canary Islands?

i know, there are way worse dilemnas to have, but still, i feel like no matter which one i choose, i'll have regrets. now it's a matter of weighing the pros and cons, and getting more details from Carlos, as well as waiting to hear from Mercury.

also, i have a cold because i couldn't fall asleep all monday night because i was thinking about the Canary Islands.

seattle comicon news [20 Mar 2006|12:44am]
hey people who were sort of arranging for the bunch of us to go to seattle with donny or diana:

i went to the comic jam at the jolly alderman on saturday with Dave, Ryan (bald guy from CA19), and Burns (who from now on is to be known as Gwaizer). we talked about the con and both Dave and Ryan were pretty interested, Ryan said that he'd be willing to rent a van with a bunch of people to drive down for a day. so far on this end it'd just be Ryan, Dave, and myself. Oscar might come, but unlikely. so that'd leave a few seats extra.

the real reasone everyone should go:

ROB LIEFELD'S GOING TO BE THERE.

i need to have a picture taken with that man! i'm just not sure if i can keep a straight face.

the Luck O' the Irish [17 Mar 2006|11:57am]
[ mood | happy ]

first off: happy saint patty's day! don't get too drunk tonight.

sadly, i'm far too broke to go out and do anything, and i'm working until 10 30 tonight too. but if anyone comes up to me and gives me a hard time for not celebrating, i'll just go all elitist on them and be like "Real Irish people don't celebrate ST. Patrick's Day. it's just the day that the non-irish pretend to be irish in the only way they know how. getting shitfaced. because they're too ignorant of actual irish culture to do anything else. that and they just want an excuse to be retardedly drunk." that, and i have no interest in going to a crowded bar, dealing with a bunch of dumb ass drunks, spending too much money on shitty green beer instead of actual irish beer. i'd much prefer to get drunk at a small pub on a regular day and not have to deal with the hassle.

onto the other news.
last week i went into the school and talked to Zoe about the idea of me being a teaching assistant, because i'm not making nearly enough money at chapters, and it'd allow me to use the facilities at school. Animation or Lifedrawing would've been cool with me.

then i went in on monday to write up my resume and cover letter, and burn my reel onto a disc to send off to Mercury Filmworks because they're hiring.

i sent it off on tuesday. when i got home, i received a phone call from Charles offering me a job as a TA at the school, helping him and Jerry with the new Classical class (CA20). i immediately accepted the job and was told to come in wednesday morning.

Wednesday morning. i arrived at school, was giving the run through for the lesson plan, the assignment (the weed), told what to help them with (layout, perspective, some animation). then i was sent on my merry way to the class where Jerry introduced me and the the two of us got to work. i had a lot of fun teaching, it took me a few students before i started to get settled and confident, but all in all, it was pretty cool. at 2 30 i had to take off for my other job. before i did, Charles talked to me about how it went, and told me he'd get in contact with me about when they'll need me next.

Thursday, was pretty uneventful, went to chapters, worked, came home. but when i got home, i checked my email, and sitting in my inbox was a message from Mercury Filmworks telling me that they have my resume and reel, and that they are looking to hire 2D digital animators for positions starting in April-May, and that they'd like to interview me for one of those positions. i replied and now i'm awaiting an interview date. also in my inbox last night there was an email from Carlos Miranda, announcing two new festivals that his and Jose's film has been entered into, as well as talking about his job as a director for a spanish cartoon series. he asked if anyone would like to come and work in the Canary Islands for him. pretty crazy. i replied and asked him if he was, in fact, serious about looking for more animators, and if he was that i'd like to know some details and the best method for me to send him my reel.

so, that's my week.


these last couple of days have been really great, because i've been feeling sort of down on myself and had become rather self-defeating. so this is just the shot in the arm that i needed.

hope everyone else's is doing well.

50 cent is a pussy.... [12 Mar 2006|10:43pm]
[ mood | tired ]

work was a total whore today. wicked busy.
good weather => lot's of shoppers => lot's of stupid shoppers => stupid questions and messed up sections.
on top of that we just did the inventory which required us music folk to remove all the security cases from the cds. so, today i got to put all the cases back on! and then erik and chelsea came by with a bursting cart of dvds and cds telling me that we returned them a long time ago, but it turns out we weren't supposed to, so now we have to put them all back out again. chrissake.

i got most of the recasing done, but then my back started to hurt and i had clearly run out of steam, so i stopped and just focussed on customer service.

but in my few (brief) moments of relief, chelsea came by and showed me the new NEIL DIAMOND biography, telling me to read the back cover. it was pretty funny, talking about how great he is and how he's a pop legend and all that, so we had some chuckles over how totally lame he really is. but then when she got off work she started actually reading the first chapter. turns out homeboy grew up on the mean streets of brooklyn, his real name is actually Neil Diamond (although his jewish immigrant parents changed their name to that when they came to the states), and that he grew up in the midst of brooklyn's gang world. so much so, that he was shot.
twice.
in the head.
all by the tender age of 12!

50 cent has nothing on that.

this was especially funny because earlier chelsea had been helping me re-case the pop vocal section and to entertain ourselves we were asking hypotheticals of who'd win in a fight.

first tom jones vs barry manilow (we both agreed tom, but that's really a gimme, since anything vs barry manilow will win),
Dean Martin vs Sammy Davis Jr. (we split on this one. she said Davis jr. i said Dino. her reasoning was that he's small, wirey, and full of energy. mine was dino's a big drunken italian who'd probably beat the poor little one-eyed man to death with a bottle of booze)
Neil Diamond vs Burt Bacharach (we both agreed that Bacharach would win since Diamond's a total girl, we soon learned that the complete opposite was the truth)
daniel o'donnell vs john mcdermott (we split, she said o'donnell had god on his side, i said o'donnell's possibly the only man on earth capable of making john mcdermott look tough, she came around)

also note that i only used capitals for the combatants who i actually respect (Neil totally earned it).

after finding out about Neil Diamond's early life, chelsea said she actually wanted to borrow the book, and i said that i wanted to do a comic series based on Diamond's early years, she said that she had to be involved somehow. i told her she can help write by being the one who knows the facts. this is going to be the sweetest comic ever!





the real question is:
julio iglesias vs englebert humperdink

which of these hilariously named but horribly lame singers will be stand victorious?!
