Round and Round

I stumbled across this little fun tidbit today while checking out Gizmodo and a couple other blogs. Apparently this little fun item was created by Pixar for NYCs Museam of Modern Art. It's called a Zoetrope...which after digging though the cobwebs of my brain I remembered is bascially a precursor to modern filmmaking where you'd have still images painted inside a cylindrical object and then you'd spin it around to simulate moving objects.

OK, who am I kidding? I looked it up in the Wikipedia.

Anyway, Pixar's version of it is pretty amazing. Check it out.

So in other news closer to home, there appears to opportunities for Lowe Studio Inc to give back soon. In a couple weeks I've been asked to hold a booth at the National Honolulu Career Fair to represent "Graphic Designers".

And then there's a possibility I might be given a chance to lecture in KCC's New Media Arts program in the Fall.

These are exciting opportunities. I'm honored to even be considered to know enough about what I do that people think I can give an opinion to others...but at the same time I'm humbled enough that there are a heck of a lot of other qualified people out there besides me. It's kinda freaking me out to be honest...it's one thing to speak for myself when I meet with a client. It's another thing to represent my whole industry!

Well, I'm getting a lot of support and encouragement by my colleagues and family. I suppose getting this kind of exposure and experience is good for me and the business. I think I'd be more concerned about whether these kids would be getting the information and teaching they need from me.

God I'm getting massive stage fright just thinking about it.........
