no problem. I find your work very brave. I like the way you approach sexuality and I think the way you approach showing the body is interesting.

If not - it's totally cool. To find out more about PL Entertainment - it can me be found on our company website;

Do we get to see your complete animation tomorrow? I am excited. You and I might be the only two people from the Hon 497/498 class presenting. The other three people in my class are not done (unless... do miracles occur in Maya?) Ross is MIA/POW. I do have faith in Corin though. She'll pull through. Three of us, then.
Bring your sketch book so I can be further amazed.

hahaha! Yeah, Corin didnt make it did she! I still dont know what happened to Ross.

Well, My animation is up an running on youtube.com so if you get the opportunity you should go to youtube, look up "3D Animation Low Battery" and you'll find it. I would love to hear comments about it. It was my first animation by myself and I think it came out rather well.

Dude, you did that by yourself?! That's totally insane!
I love it, espically the reflections--the moving tails were a nice touch.
Good job!

hi, this is a response fr an old post of urs. im late
[link]
readin da page i didnt like da swearin at all..no one ws makin a point. But my friend lemme ask u, lookin at the bright side of da Iraq war, how can u say that those people are liberated ! its been more dan a yr since the invasion n still crowds of people are being killed daily. Moreover, what kind of character does a state show taking drastic measures like this, even when the majority of the "civilized" world was against it ? and (please think for a moment fr dis) after all that, your leaders say, yes , we made a mistake, but we wont apologize, let alone pull out !! consider the lives of the thousands killed, consider the emotions of the survivors upon hearing this. They are just like you. You are living a life of privilege my frnd, living in one of da most developed and beautiful countries in da world, jus think of the people of iraq, afshanistan, vietnam and their aspirations, their plans for their future, their hopes of livin a life like urz. Now for thousands of them, there is no future. They are dead. after killing so many Afghan civilians n blamin the world for not being able to control the Talibans, hear this, The taliban still control the majority of Afghanistan !. Im not kidding.
Do you ever giv a thought to the fact that WHY is osama bin laden so celebrated in the Muslim world !??. Even though the majority rejects his ways, few disagree with his reasons.The US has to stop being the good guy coz it has failed in that task miserably.Every country in the world shud be given the chance to "struggle" themselves for their good. The system does not work that way. "Peace", I say this, but i know its just a dream.

I will agree with your statements entirely. I apologize if liberation is too strong a word for you. I personally think that the war in Iraq is controversial at best. I dont think we needed to be there necessarily. War is never a pretty thing. Video Games, Movies, even the media dont always provide a serious look into war and its effects on people. Everything is always one sided. Even if it appears not to be. Bush is a moron of a president. I disagree with alot of what he does and stands for. However, Bilateral Talks with Terrorist nations will not work. They dont care to talk. We were attacked on 9/11 and the American public was angry. Therefore, Bush, as leader, had to point a finger at someone. That someone was bin laden. I dont pretend to know everything that goes on over there. As I said. War is ugly. Human nature is ugly in many ways. I think that now that we are in Iraq, We cannot pull out early and leave the state in complete chaos. Yes there is already chaos. Yes there are so many problems. But wouldnt you agree that to pull out early would be premature? I dont think you could argue that Saddam Hussain was good man. He was a dictator and a tyrant. The people did not have Freedoms, no one was standing up to the dictatorship so in that sense, Yes, I stand by my previous comment that they were liberated. I think the people over there must be very confused, and also angry that we are still there, however, a government must be in place or there will be complete chaos. As for Osama bin laden being rejoiced in the muslim world. Of course he is! He is muslim. Just as the pope is rejoiced in the catholic religion. But you dont see catholics going around and killing buddists do you? Muslims desire to destroy the infidels right? Who are the infidels? Everyone else? I think it is so stupid to be so narrowminded as to want everyone to follow one way. It doesnt work that way. The US is no longer the only target now either. London Train bombings, Indian Train bombings. They are all attempts to promote the spread of the muslim faith. I have no problems with muslims. What they wish to believe in is their business. But they shouldnt be putting it on everyone else. The way I see it, At least the US is doing something about it. The UN has lost its control. Actually, I think the UN control was probably an Illusion anyway. Iran and Syria are still housing terrorists. Kim Jong Il is doing his own dirty work in North Korea. It is all a cluster of crap nonsense.
____Deep Breath_____ Anyway, I didnt mean to offend you. But do you think that the Iraqis would have been better off with a tyrant like Sadam still in power? Furtheremore, obviously this war has caused many deaths, many controversies, on both sides, Iraq and the US; so, do you think it is possible for a nation like Iraq, even tho there are many casualties, to become a stronger and healthier nation given time. Meaning that this war was not a complete failure, and that by going in, Iraq could eventually become a wonderful nation of commerce and growth. Sorry this is so long. If you want to talk more, Please send another message. I hope I answered your questions.
