It still blows my mind to be able to write a blog entry that anyone interested can read while sitting aboard an 85,000 ton ship plowing through a foggy evening on the north sea.

We just had a great meal in the animator’s palette. Good food and I really liked the effects better than those on the newer Dream. They were more subtle, but still grabbed me and dragged me in. If there’s ever an advertisement for the imagineering team, events like that are it.

I’m heading up on deck to see what the foggy evening does to the ship’s lighting on deck. I’m hoping that the fog and the colored lights will make for some great shots. Won’t really know till I get home and get them on the good monitor. Once I have them post processed and am back on a reasonably large pipe, I’ll post whatever seems worth sharing.

The sketches that emerged on the screens during the meal also remided me that need to get my Intuos tablet out and try to take my rather feeble drawing skills to a better place. I’d love to be able to sketch competently…so far I’ve always found more important things to do but I think the time has come to find the time.
