Milstone and {Nicky Rasch-My sons} Art Blog.

Hey guys...

not quite making the amount of footage I wanted {about 30 seconds so far} of vacation....1 very busy week left.....but I am consistently Animating.....Including tonight...

I did reach a serious Milestone in this new sequence....the line has changed shape dramatically.

I remember fantasizing like I often do.....on {whats it going to be like when I reach this point in the film?}well here I am....and its kinda like I imagined but DANG....I gots a long way to go ha!!I remember a year and a bit back.....me and Shel on our weekly mountain hike in the Griffith Park Hills....{we talk life and story's on our hikes}we reached the top of the mountain....sat down in our normal top spot .....and drew that same exact shape in the sand right between our body's. This was the genesis of the films main concept and I will always remember where it started....... literally in the Dirt at the top of that mountain.

Here is a clip of flea changing the rules a bit....



I was happy with how this one came out....especially since the battery wasn't really made for animation. I just faked it as best as I could and it worked pretty well.

...My son Nicky Rasch.....has recently started his own art blog and business.

here is Nicky's mascot.....which he will be molding and offering as a resin kit. He is sculpting, drawing , painting and doing 3D animation - Modeling for interested party's. His rates are good and I am proud of him for putting it all together to make some teenager dough and improve his portfolio.

Goonies Pilgramage.....

Hey Guys!
Shel and I just came back from a whirlwind trip to PortlandDay two was all about Goonie's Dorkness......Most kids from the 80's had a soft spot for this film.......and mine was particularly soft and to this day colors alot of my adventures.

I figured It was time I finally made the Pilgrimage to the Place it all happened.

We arrived at Astoria- Home of the Goonies........ it was a tiny little town with a cold breeze and a mistiness in the air......pretty much just like I imagined.

We hit up the local grocer for the location of the house......just a short ride and we were there.
As we parked we saw a bunch of people getting out of their car walking up a driveway.....hmmm
HINT - Hint !! This movie reached alot of People!!!

Here we are......in front of the Goonies Houseat the Goonies Jail -

and at Cannon Beach - where the goonies rocks are.
a magical place......and so fun to explore with shel.

and a couple of other Astoria spots....so.....

News on the Film....I am kicking off my vacation with a major shooting schedule...
I want to get at least 1 minute of footage during my 3 weeks off.

That means tonight Is shot 1 .....so wish me Lucks.....Ill be posting regular again....so expect smaller more regular posts....once a week should be happening.
