The 48 Hour Film Project exists in most U.S. metropolitan areas. It's a competition wherein each participating team is given a genre, prop, character, and line of dialogue at random, after which the team's members have exactly forty-eight hours in which to create and deliver a five to seven minute film. I participated in the 48 Hour Film Project this year, which lasted from June 13-15, 2008. Our six primary team members did a little bit of everything, but my main responsibility was to develop animation and transitional elements for the film with teammate Zach Pearl. Our resources included everything from straight ahead hand-drawn animation to paint, magazine collage, cardboard shadow puppets, and hot-glued seashells.

This project made for the best time I've had in quite a while. It was a total blast to be a part of it.

Embarrassing P.S. I feel I should acknowledge that I also wrote the script for, and acted as, Eileen.
