Buy A Leaf-Kill A Polar Bear

While I have always said that electric cars are beyond moronic, especially when we don't even have enough power to keep the electricity going during a hot day. If the fact that the car should only be driven at 38 mph which means, no freeway, and it costs a lot more than even the Prius...never mind a practical car like a Focus.....the car needs to be recharged every 50 miles or so. AND if turning off one light a day will save polar bears, how about plugging in a car??? WTF? Are you kidding me? This is ridiculous!! Honestly, SOLAR powered cars would be smart, anything else doesn't solve the problem, it just switches it. Ironic is the commercial with the polar bear hugging the guy driving it, when they will actually kill more polar bears. It just goes to show that if something is marketed right, it will sell, even if it isn't helping anything. UGH.. I totally agree with what this guys said, his blog: http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2011/03/another-reason-not-to-buy-nissan-le

Interview With Me! Animation Insider

http://www.animationinsider.com/2011/04/stephanie-olivieri/ Stephanie Olivieri Assistant animator/clean up artist-traditional, 2D, paper and pencil and storyboards (boarding, clean-up & revisions) What is your name and your current occupation? What are some of the crazier jobs you had before getting into animation? I worked as a waitress and an actress before animation, so nothing too crazy. What are some of your favorite projects you’re proud to have been a part of? Hard to say, honestly I love everything I have worked on for different reasons. Feature films are fun because of how long you are with the characters and crew, commercials and shorts are fun because of the crazy hours and cartoony characters. How did you become interested in animation? I went to an audition for a Disney film and was doodling on

Quit Your Bragging-it's Annoying

Do you know someone in Hollywood that knows someone who knows someone who's related to someone who went to school with a guy who sat next to a guy who knows...such and such A lister? Seriously as if this isn't annoying enough~what about those people-you know who you are-that constantly brag about celebrities that they either have seen or "spent time with"? UGH...For those of us that live in Los Angeles and work in the film industry this happens all the time. It's part of the business. AND if you are bragging about knowing someone that no one has ever heard of, better to keep it to yourself. I mean what other industry does this? Do you ever hear of Josephine Office Girl in the midwest bragging about how she spent time with her CEO or client in the lift? Come off it. One guy I know is such a poser that he will go to a trendy and well known celebrity hotspot and then send out emails claiming he had dinner "with", Al Pacino, Bieber, and Steven Spieldberg all
