Speaking of which, during recent animating adventures we were looking up images of swordfish for part of a scene Brent is drawing and I read that swordfish have adapted their eye muscles to heat their eyes and brain for better vision! What!? Who knew?! Heated eyes to see better? I wonder if they make heated glasses specifically for animators weary, frame ridden eyes....?
Also, a quick update on our upcoming whereabouts: Brent is visiting Penn State today (if you are up there you should go see him lecture, it is a beautiful campus and I'm sure the rivers are high and mighty with post hurricane rains!), on September 17th we will be participating in The Kitchen Block Party in NY where the fabulous venue hosts a kid-friendly street fair complete with food, music and crafts (our craft table is currently working hard on preperatory cutting and crafting right now! Hope to see you there!) and, lastly, this weekend we visit New England to usher in the nuptials of our friends Mark & Steph (an event that is sure to be full of filmic surprises being that Mark is the founder of Rooftop Films, an organization dear to my heart...so dear that Brent is actually marrying the two! What does one wear to officiate a wedding anyway...? A cape perhaps? Yes! A cape!). Ok, off to get things going- have a happy hurricane-less, electricity-filled day folks! O, and by the way, we were only inconvenienced by the storm but a lot of people, especially in Vermont and upstate New York, have suffered greatly from this natural disaster. Here are a few links on how to help out! Stay dry and safe everyone!
