Rough draft of an informational poster for my upcoming thesis film, Red|Blue (2026). In the spring semester, there will be an event where each major presents posters of their research, so I'll be refining this before then.

In honor of Moon Landing Day, I'm considering buying some lunar regolith simulant. Real moon rocks are in, shall we say, limited supply, but you can buy Earth-made stuff that is nearly indistinguishable from the real deal from the University of Central Florida. It's not cheap, something like fifty or sixty bucks per kilo for the good stuff, well over a thousand per kilo for the REALLY good stuff, and they don't sell it by the gram (you can get 100g of the really good stuff, or 10g of the crap stuff), so you'll really want to think it over before committing. It's mostly bought by universities to study the effects of sandblasting their instruments with Moon dust or Mars dust, but I think it would be neat to have a jar full of the stuff as a paperweight. It's a high fidelity facsimile, which is up my alley, but I don't know if I want it enough to justify the price tag. $60 is close to a week worth of food for me, so maybe I'll save up and get some for Christmas instead, just in time for Apollo 17's Moon Landing Day (December 11).

I’m not sure if I’ve ever posted my face on tumblr before but I just wanna share

I had the absolute pleasure of having my thesis film on display at the UCF Gallery during Art Knight and it was one of the best moments of my 2023. I talked with so many people who love animation and lots of future animators who had questions about the program I’m in. It was an absolute JOY to be there and I wish it could’ve gone all night (at one point a gathering of people clapped when my film finished and I couldn’t take it man) :’)))

A Memorable Experience in Kissimmee (3/14/25)

Good morning, afternoon, or evening to everyone following my journey through UCF's Veteran's History Project. This was a memorable week for me as I had the opportunity to participate in an amazing experience. I had the chance to listen to the story of two WWII Veterans, Mel Jensen, a member of the United States Army Air Corps, he was a Waist Gunner on a B-17 and Sergeant Louis Boria of the United States Marine Corps.

This week, as normal, I attended my weekly Veterans History Project meeting, where Miss Jesse Oldham returned after an extended leave of absence. This was more than just a normal Tuesday, as I reported that on that day, after the meeting, I would have the chance to listen to two World War II Veterans talk about their service in an event at the Military History Museum in Kissimmee, and as a part of VHP, I had the honor to attend on behalf of the organization. Other students from UCF could attend and listen to the experience of these two courageous men and have an in-person experience with Oral History.

I arrived at before the event began and had the chance to meet both Veterans and chat with them one-on-one.

Both these brave men told the crowd stories of their service, Mel Jensen stating that he flew in both A-20 Havoc Bombers and in B-17 Flying Fortresses, he had flown 45 missions over Europe, including three bombing runs to Berlin and even a reconnaissance flight over the Normandy Beaches on D-Day. Sergeant Boria too recounted his time in the Marine Corps, from his enlistment, to his time in Boot Camp, to his landing on Leyte during General MacArthur's invasion to liberate the Phillippines. He talked about his time in landing on Leyte, his wounding from mortar fire, and his time in the Hospital on the island of New Caledonia.

The raw emotion and sincerity of the stories told by these brave individuals had me entranced, it had me on the edge of my seat the entire time, there were moments of laughter, and there were other moments where I wanted to cry. I was moved, but I kept a straight face and listened with open ears and an open mind. It is one thing to read or listen to accounts of veterans in a book, or a documentary, but to hear and actually be in the same room as these brave men, to feel their emotions while they give their accounts. It is something that one has to experience so that they can truly understand the sacrifices they made for their country, for their families, and for their comrades in arms.

This experience was one that had to be experienced, it was a once in a lifetime experience I will not soon forget, and I have many people to thank for that; Doctor Lyons, Harrison Smith, Doctor Gannon, and many others. VHP has opened many doors for me, and this semester has proven to be one of the best I have had in a long time.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone, god bless you all!

Hi, side note: He also funds a Hospitality School with the University of Central Florida to which all the students family’s can get dirt cheap stays to his hotels and did a a lot for the students and workers during Covid. He also has a medical center for the workers to go to and it only cost $5 copay. He can be spotted on the Hospitality Campus just talking with the students and hired massage therapists to come during finals to help calm the students.
