Decent type. Funky photos, huh? ;)

Nintendo announced the Wii Vitality Sensor which measures heart rate to gauge relaxation today. This kind of reminds me of a certain client in Advanced Image Manipulation: Sensorium Wetware :)


David Stipes is an instructor here at the Art Institute of Phoenix in the Visual Effects & Motion-Graphics department. David is one of my favorite people here, generous with his time and full of great stories and experiences. If you need to know something about matte-painting, motion control, shooting photographs & videos, special effects, etc. then David is the guy to talk to. I really feel lucky to have him here at our school.

David started a great blog a few months ago, sharing these stories and techniques with the rest of the world. I’ve got him on my RSS reader and I think y’all should too. Tons of good stuff. Lately he has been posting stories about how certain shots in Star Trek (TNG, DS9 and Voyager!) and scifi movies like Buck Rogers. I’m eating this stuff up. Go David Go!
