Starting to dig into Blender, starting with a free lite version of the character from Sintel.

With 2 desktop computers and 2 laptops with another desktop being added to the mix, I felt it was time to cut down on these wireless signals. My motivation is part security and part efficiency… with a dash of paranoia.
While looking through old electrical gear, I found a Linksys WRT54G v8 wireless router. Bells started ringing in my head.
I remembered reading an article on some custom firmware that allowed for routers to be turned into repeaters or a wireless bridge. When I looked it up, it turns out that the Linksys WRT54G v8 was a perfect candidate for this DD-WRT firmware.
There’s a few Youtube videos out there that will help you through the process, which seems intimidating, but really isn’t that complex. And for those preferring an text & image based tutorial there’s the bridge article by WIFI Planet.
For my particular router (the v8), I only needed to:
1. Download the files from the DD-WRT Router Database (for the heck of it, grab em all). http://www.dd-wrt.com/site/support/router-database
2. In the admin panel of my Linksys router apply the vxworkskiller firmware. After applying this firmware, your router can only be accessed from a computer via a static IP and FTP.
3. Used the included tftp.exe file to upload the micro_generic firmware to my router.
4. Rebooted the router again and then inside the newly installed DD-WRT firmware, I followed these instructions to set it up as a wireless bridge. http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Client_Bridged
Besides the speed benefits, I also have a little more security as I can just unplug a single device and all my computers are immediately taken offline. Also going to rest a little easier knowing I don’t have a half dozen wireless signals traveling through my body all night long.

Psychedelic Patterns and Fractals
“The Music Scene” from Anthony Francisco Schepperd on Vimeo.
Spirals
abstract animation film for neuroscientific purpose. It is seen by children (age of two to ten years) on a screen in front of them while they are in a brain scanner.
3D fractals creating alien landscapes.
Showing behavior systems. Techinically… it’s tech demo, but the patterns are gorgeous.
More flocking systems
Growing crystal structures… sculptures.
Animation Shorts
Voxels take over.
Stop motion w/ practical effects.
Visitor from far away + a soccer ball = ?
One of my favorites that I still back to watch. The director rammed it with symbolism. Kinda creepy.
Live action first person chase
Stop mostion w/ laser pointers and long exposuress creates a kitty made of light.
Simple and cute… and great little tale.
Appropriate narrated story w/ slower gradually increasing visuals.
Insane chase scene.
FX driven take of a man conquering his compulsive disorder. (dark comedy)
very minimalistic tribute to Stanley Kubrick
Commercials and Title Credits
Cyberspace intro… for video game “Syndicate”
Tech Demos and Artistic Process
Slick presentation of the creation process of a growing grape effect in 3D.
Streetfighter fans will get a kick of these motion capture abstractions w/ particles.
The current technique of digital sculpting.

First, I saw Jade Zuberi in a circle near the main stage. Although this “So You Think You Can Dance” segment makes him look good… it was even more jaw-dropping to see in person. At first I didn’t think it was him, as I didn’t recognise his moves… but the style and that facial expression are unforgetable.
Also, here’s some videos I found of dancers that I saw at this years Movement in Detroit, dancing at the festival.
Illusion’s energy on the dancefloor was a blast to watch.
Breakdance circle near the Made In Detroit stage.
Flec Mindscape is a contact juggler found a perfect auto-retrieving location at the fest (a brick bowl).
And more interesting characters.
