I was there for a week.
After climbing Half Dome, all I can say is…
WE ARE PUNY!!
Puny Portland welcomes it’s latest new member, and Puny’s fourth four-legged friend, Tobias to the team.
PHIILIP th SAFETY EGG is making its way out west and will be screening at the Brainwash Movie Festival in Oakland CA on Saturday 8.14.2010. If you are in or around Oakland and enjoy cartoons about safety, walking bacon and a chicken’s anus, please show your support for Phillip and for Brainwash.
The New York Times says the Brainwash Movie Festival pirat[es] a piece of that old Hollywood magic and challeng[es] conventions on the role of public space in the process.
“We project movies onto a tarp in West Oakland,” counters festival director Shelby Toland.
Nick and I met up with Julia in LA who led us to Kevin Lee who guided us through the inner workings of Nickelodeon.
We got to draw on the walls.
Our famous King Mini doesn’t deserve one cake but TWO!
Two of the many fans has coincidentally bought the same cake for him.
Happy Birthday!
Took my buddy Genevieve on an excursion to Osaka to meet my dad’s awesome girlfriend, Kimiko. Then we all went to Kyoto together and had a gay ol’ time!
Here are a couple photos:
An upcoming client project presents an opportunity to experiment with granular synthesis in Flash Player 10. The idea is to play back lots of little pieces (grains) of a sound at various times to create a new sound. In this demo, grain playback is accomplished by maintaining a list of GrainDescription objects which store where in the sample the grain started and how much has been played. Then for each sample of output, iterate through the list of grains and add the value of the original sound at each active grain’s current position marker. Grains are added at a given interval and removed when they have played a given amount of time.
This requires flash 10.
This demo provides controls for how fast to move through the sound spawning new grains, how fast to play the grains (pitch), how many samples long each grain should be (length) and how many samples to wait between starting new grains (interval). The green waveform shows the shape of the complete sample. The blue waveform is the shape of the envelope used to scale the amplitude of a grain over its lifetime. This grain envelope shape is the function sin(x)*sin(x) where x runs between zero and pi. Individual grains fade in and out smoothly to avoid the transients (clicks and pops) that would occur if short chops of audio were played directly.

Nick Bachman Salutes you America.
We went to the nicest theater in Minneapolis, the Showplace Ikon in St. Louis Park to watch the title sequence we did for James Gunn’s new movie “Super” and couldn’t pass up a lunch at Toby Kieth’s I Love This Bar and Grill…once.
Try the Toby Kieth sauce!
We drink beer from Mason jars.
A huge thank you to the management and staff at Keresota’s Showplace Icon Theater for letting us screen the visual effects for the film at their theater. It helped us out a lot.
The local CW did a bit on ROBOTlove with a dash of Pink Hobo. Hear PUNY managing director Kristoffer Knutson talk about the toy store that took over our studio’s front door.

There are photos of the QR Code show up on the Pink Hobo page of Facebook. If you missed the opening, the show can be seen 7 days a week during RobotLOVE hours:
