Here is an earlier animation render of a Galiwango Hair study created with Fur and Hair in 3DS Max
This is a Book Trailer I shot and directed for my wife’s new book, “God’s Perfect Size, Gain Victory and Lose Food Addiction for Life, by Kim Jagwe. Script was written by Sandra Reynolds, Co-Written by Kim Jagwe (ww.kimjagwe.com). Book Published by Tate Publishing. You can read more about the book at http://www.godsperfectsize.com
“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand Firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery”
Galations 5:1
Book Excerpt “He was our natural father, but he rarely touched us. I threw my arms wide open, waiting for his embrace. An eternity passed in those few seconds. The embrace never came. So I held my arms out once again, but this time I said, ‘Will you pick me up too?’” A smile slid across his face, and my heart soared. I took a step forward ready for my moment. I felt him move back. Had he lost his footing? I was about to try again, but he stopped me. He peered into my eyes and said, ‘I can’t pick you up. You’re too fat, just like your mother.’ In that instant, he confirmed all of my fears, and I knew he was right. I was too fat… too fat to like, too fat to love, too fat to matter.”
That was a crucial point of development in author Kim Jagwe’s life. As a young girl already wearing adult sizes, her fears and insecurities were confirmed and exposed by her own father.
Here is another render of a jungle shot of Galiwango – He is much older in this scene. The “Galiwango, Obulamu Bw’ekisodde” film is set in the virunga mountains and the jungles that hug the ranges bordering Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)
This is my latest update over at the Galiwango Film website – http://www.galiwango.com. I am working on a new texture map and hair system for the main mountain gorilla character. Hair systems are expensive to render so i have to find work arounds.
OUT OF THIS WORLD | To Ze Moon and Beck!!
I took a break today from work and went to the moon and back in a Flash!! – ok, not literaly – but with my Canon EOS 7D, with a Tamron 18-270 lens attached, I looked up to stare at all the stars while swinging my camera looking for something to shoot in the dark, at Sean’s place, a family friend, and snapped away.
I played back the photo and was pleasantly surprised to find that the moon was very clear even at half size. Check out this photo from a collection I took.
Sean and I were like .DUUUUUUDEEEEEE!!!!!! (No Color correction done at all to the photo) – like I said, I went to the moon and back, now you believe me? | … Don’t Tell me the Sky is the limit when people have been to the Moon …… so it’s said ….
“Mine is a home in the skies. I soar and Glide…what I have put here is a whiff of that fleeting breeze. temporal, but titillating..” Continue reading A limited Collection of my Poems
Art, to me, is such a joy. It enables me to express myself in ways I never could with mere speech. I am able to mount to heights un-inhabited by bounds and limitations. The poetry of color and sometimes the lack there of, feeds that river that provides the life of creativity. I would be a quibbler if I said art is but a small part of my world. So I will let the wings of my mind soar and float on the breeze of imagination.
