Motivating Monday: Week 7

This is a website I enjoy going to from time to time.

Built by Nick Campbell, Joshua Schaible, and Trevor Turk; Reel Roulette’s goal is to deliever random demo reels submitted by designers.
Reel roulette is a great place to go if you need some inspiration on your very own demo reel. Reel Roulette randomly chooses a demo reel to play, if you like the reel you can watch it all the way through and even give the user a like for their great work. However if you get a reel that you just arn’t feeling you are giving the option to skip it.
The site even features a top 20 list of the most liked reels on the site.
Best of all my demo reel can be watched on this website too. =)
See if you can find it…or just take the easy way out and search for it.

Travis out.

Get Your Portals Out of my Game!!!

Hey hey hey!

So It has been around two weeks since my previous post, so I was thinking it was about time for an update.

Many things have been going on in my life.

Instead of filling up my post with a bunch of jibber jabber about my life, I decided it may be more interesting to post a few awesome finds of mine these past two week.

Lets get started....


What would happen if Valve created a Mario game?

Mari0

I found this link on Kotaku.
After countless spoofs of Portal guns being introduced into other game franchises. A group of creators are finally making a mash up of Mario and Portal a reality.

I am pretty excited for this!

In related news, a hack for the game Minecraft is in the works, that will include a twist of Pocket Monsters.

PokeCraft (Link for the Kotaku article.)

I also have some great links if you are looking for some inspiration. 

GreyScaleGorilla  does these 5 second projects. Basically He sets a theme for contestants to follow, and the only rule is that it must be 5 seconds long. This time the theme was "Behind the Scenes."

Like always there were some great videos to be seen. Here is just an example of one.

This is all for today.

Till next time...

Hello blog space!

Just laying down an update for the week in the life of Travis.

Last week I was lucky enough to pick up a 3DS with the price drop AND the free 20 downloadable games! =) (Thank you Wal-mart for not following the rules.)

I have to say it is a very nice piece of technology, I just wish there was more of a software selection out there for it.

I also shot my first legit wedding on Saturday night. I am happy to report that it went extremely well. Everything went smoothly and I may have possible job leads from the company I worked with in the future.

Till next time...keep it chill.
