New Year's Eve Day, 2009

It's been getting as cold as -30 here at night, making it a pretty tough winter, especially if it's your first one ever. This deer kid has been hanging around the house lately. We didn't particularly think anything of it, other than trying to keep the dogs from giving it a hard time. Apparently though, it had become desperate to find any kind of food or shelter from the cold. We found it this morning curled in a ball near one of the measly exhaust vents of the house, where it must have just succumbed to cold and hunger. It missed the sunrise by no more than a few hours.

I went down, down, down...

And the flames went higher.

Check out Jeff Scher's new film!

I did a little after effects futzing on it...

Here's a cool band!

This weekend I helped out the always wonderful Kendra on a music video shoot for a great band called Lavalier. It was a whole lot of fun, and I think the video will be really sweet when it's all finished up, so keep an eye out for it. Thank you to everyone who was involved!

Candymation!...

...is the word that I promised myself I wouldn't use when I started making this.
