Just back from Catania, Sicilia. Italia! Great week over there, truly inspiring to see a group of people making their second animated short movie with such enthusiasm, and being able to help out and give advice is priceless for me. Their project is shaping up nicely, I came down there to Catania for consultancy work, the first thing was to organize properly their folder structure, was a lot of work (well Blender makes it easy if you know the right buttons :) Had a good time, lotsa laughs, loootsa good food, learned a lot from their beautiful island and its huge history, and learned a bit of both Italian and Sicilian/Catanese language :) Photo Top-left: recording fire! for later use it as video texture, turned out pretty good, infatti: ameeeeizing! Middle-left: Simone, Danilo and I, putting back rocks from the Mount Etna. Right: flags of Sicilia, Italia, European Union. Bottom: Today at the Fontanarossa Airport in Catania: the crew! Simone Iannuzzi took the photo so did some hardcore gimp-ing to add him in.
