And the World Cup is over! Many things happened in this year's world cup... bad referring, apparently a bad ball, great performances like Iniesta, Xavi, Javi, Villa, Diego Forlan, Tevez and Muller... big surprises like the early elimination of Italy and France, the sudden elimination of Argentina and Brasil...
Spain took the gold in an extremely physical game, with a referee that was afraid of red cards...
Now, I find myself without soccer games... with my argentinian and US jerseys in the drawer wondering what to do... I almost feel like I'm going through an identity crisis... where the absence of soccer has left a vacuum in my life and I find myself wondering 'what now?'
I will have tango classes starting tomorrow! which I'm really looking forward to!
Well, until Brasil 2014! Vamos Argentina!

Puppy Photos
This is a white siberian husky. His name is BearWolf and as you can see is a very happy dog =)
Taking pictures of animals in general takes quite an amount of time, but is a fun endeavor!

A Halo Title Sequence
Well, This is it. The last project for my class Film & TV Design class. I created a title sequence for Halo Reach... I wish this would actually happen!
Anyways, I am a Halo fan... I love the games, i own toys, posters, and Halo is the only reason why I own an XBOX, XBOX 360, etc.
In my limited knowledge of the subject matter (Title Sequence Design) I wanted to do justice to the game I love... I'm not good at doing animation yet, so I opened photoshop and edited a lot of Halo photos I had and made them look like they were aged takes from an old battle, which is the feeling I get about Halo Reach... coming from Halo that is... Halo Reach is kind of in the past and what triggered everything in Halo, Halo 2 and Halo 3... so that explains the look!
After 4 or more hours of editing photographs it was time to use them! and I picked iMovie as that's what I'm more comfortable with. Premiere is okay, but I find myself rebooting my machine too many times with that piece of software... and After Effects... let's just say I did 2 tutorials which took me 2 days and I got nowhere... LOL
But no worries! Here it is! Halo Reach! coming to a theater soon! I'm also making a Teaser poster which is the 2nd link!

And an opening sequence
We were supposed to sketch an idea for an opening sequence to anything we wanted... movie, tv show, documentary, etc. I figured I'd do one for an internet soccer show...
This is an idea I had... didn't come out quite as exciting as i envisioned it, but that's because I don't know After Effects yet... I simply did this with Adobe Premiere. Also, I couldn't get my hands on enough soccer footage... most of the footage I could find was in Flash format which I couldn't use in Premiere/iMovie and since I could only spend a few hours on this assignment I just settled for what I had available...
Anyways... this is what I have...
Any comments/suggestions/constructive critics are uber welcome!

Making a little 1 minute film scene
At school I had an assignment to design screens that could potentially be used in a film or tv show. I designed the screens and then figured I should go ahead an make a little video where I could use them...
I didn't need to use much props other than an FBI hat which I owned, an iPhone, an HTC phone and my little Master Chief statue... For actors I used my friends from work Mike, Demian and Jasmine. For sound... since I'm not a musician (yet) I borrowed a tune from the last Miami Vice song... and the film is totally drive by the music (I have to say)
You can view the first cut of my video at:

...and tonight I'll be polishing it more as it's due on Wednesday night!
I'd appreciate any feedback!
Well, here is my final cut!

Gustavo Cerati and Soda Stereo
A few days ago Gustavo Cerati, practically the father of Rock en Espanol suffered from a cardiovascular problem and had brain surgery... the news are sounding very bad... After the surgery the doctors put him into a comma for 72 Hrs in the hopes that he will recover... All the latin american youth is praying and hoping he recovers quickly and fully...
Gustavo Cerati started the most famous rock band of the 80s and 90s: Soda Stereo and since then his legend began.
In my life, Soda Stereo's music is part of me. When I was little I heard it and loved it, when I was a teen I loved it, and not too long ago I saw them in the L.A. concert which was in the Home Depot stadium in a sold out event... then only Stadium concert I've ever been to... and it was the most surreal moments I've had surrounded by thousands of fans singing the songs and dancing and laughing and crying. Total madness...
Last weekend, the news flew all over the web and TV and the latin american youth is in shock... we are living on pause awaiting the Doctor's evaluation of Gustavo... the 72 Hrs os wait time that the Dr. announced are up today... and my prayers and thoughts are for Gustavo to recover and continue creating those amazing songs that are a part of all of us... I have lived, loved, enjoyed, cried, dreamed and slept with Soda Stereo songs and with his new songs as a solo artist... Gustavo is amazing... I hope he fully recovers from this difficult moment... Fuerza Gustavo que toda Latino-America esta con vos!
