Someday when I have my own walls to cover, I’m defiantly going to get my wallpaper here. I just discovered Domestic.fr and really like what they’ve got going on.

We’ve found our way back to the east coast, New York to be exact. It’s good to be back but I’m sad to leave LA behind, the move almost happened too fast. Hope to be back to LA soon but I’m excited to be in NY.

Hey the new Mummy trailer has been released! Check it out here:
http://www.robcohenthemummy.com/video.php I don’t know about you guys but I think this looks pretty awesome.

So Speed Racer has finished and I’m really glad I got the chance to work on the film. I Met a lot of great people on the show and now after a two week break I’m back at DD working on the Mummy 3. The show has a really strong pipeline and the VFX are going to be fun. It’s great to meet all the new people on the Mummy show…and there are a lot of familiar faces from Racer working on Mummy which is nice.

I’m excited to see that My Mental Ray 2.0 has launched!! Woohooo! The site looks really great and I know it will continue to grow into a great resource for all of us lighter/shader people out there.
Check out all the new site features here!

Today is my last day as a full time dude at Buck. It’s been blast and I’ll miss being around everyone all the time. I wish everybody the best and hope to work with them all again soon.

It’s Saturday morning and amazing. After a grueling 3 month project the clouds have seemed to have lifted and I’m sitting at home drinking my coffee and listening to the birds chirp without a worry of failed renders…paradise..mostly. The project that we have finished is still secret but hopefully it will soon be released to the public.
Last night I got a chance to meet up with my old bosses from Iceland, Mark and Claudia. They’ve pretty much been globe trotting working on VFX for various upcoming films and now working on the VFX for another Clint Eastwood film. Sounds like fun. We ate at this place in the Hollywood Hills called Yamashiro which has great food and a view unlike any other of Hollywood/LA Basin. So on the docket this weekend…tonight and engagement party and tomorrow a bowling party… hooray for work free weekends!

Yesterday my wife’s sister gave birth to a baby boy Maxwell!

Tonight Laurie and I are heading out to the East Coast to get ready for our big day on August 18th. Looking forward to taking some time off and seeing old family and friends. There won’t be too many graphics updates in the near future but there will be a monster on the not too distant future…so stay tuned and stay in touch.

All the best -

Bill….

Shave and Haircut for Mental Ray…coming soon.
