Making movies, animating, guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, commentating wrestling shows, painting, video games, power metal, writing, reading, hustling, theater and mostly MAKING MOVIES! Oh yea and I like books about nukes, plague, asteroids, drought, flood, diapers and I think I have all the Chuck Norris workout tapes. My hobby and my job are one and the same... drawing pictures and making them move... Basically I manipulate a small plastic bar of soap in an intricate pattern on a desktop table and stare at light coming out of a box. I do this all day long for ten years and it somehow translates into money. Hooray for the 21st century.
Animators, actors, artists, musicians, people I can learn from.
80's POWER METAL Hammerfall, Helloween, Manowar, Stratovarius, Rhapsody, Testament, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, and classical, especially FILM SCORES! They make the trickle of pictures in my brain turn into a waterfall!!
Dune, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Back to the Future, Star Trek II, Tim Burton, Jerry Bruckheimer, Jean Pierre Jeunet (City of Lost Children, Alien 4), Peter Jackson, Lord of the Rings, documentaries, Dr. Strangelove, Behind-the-scenes DVDs, the ones constantly going on in my brain!
TV + BRAIN = ATROPHY
post-apocalyptic sci-fi, the book of Mormon, Shakespeare, Dystopian sci-fi, anything with BATTLE!
