animation
Ever wondered how they put your favorite actor into a sci-fiction background? I got to learn about green screen filming from my animator.He just filmed me for the animated intro to Restless Josie. Kaustubh filmed me in front of an almost florescent green fabric background lit with two strobes. He will then essentially cut out my upper body and past me into an already constructed animated airplane. He made it all look easy but he drives his computer like an indi racer, racing the mouse around a track. I always enjoy watching someone who's really good at what they do, focused and working at what they love.

I'm getting very excited for my first episode to drop in March. It has been a staggering amount of work at times but it all seems to be coming together. I've come to the realization that if you are willing to commit energetically to your passion than you will succeed! Hard work does pay off. (Sound like what your parents told you growing up?) I guess the secret is, there is no secret.
Watching the Vancouver Olympics has been inspiring. It's been especially interesting watching Canada establish a national identity. Being a traveler, I've always envied the countries that seem to have a distinct culture. Canada, being a young country that is made up of emigrants, has struggled in the past with the question of who we are as a nation. Walking through the streets of Vancouver and Whistler, that seems to have changed. We are celebrating who we are and appreciating our differences. I'm proud of our athletes and thankful to them for affirming my pride in Canada!
That being said I'm going to film my third episode of Restless Josie in British Columbia. I've booked Tatchu resort on Nootka Island to showcase some of Canada's top surfers. I will also be filming a very talented young downhill mountain biker, Simon Garstin. The third episode will also include some local indi bands that are supper hot right now!
