<br />
I even duplicated the <i>Transmission </i>info page and my Resumé page over on the Tumblr as well.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://jareddweiss.tumblr.com/">My portfolio also has its own Tumblr page now</a>, separate from everything else.<br />

<br />
We (<a href="http://evanborja.tumblr.com/">Evan Borja</a>, <a href="http://nicksazani.tumblr.com/">Nick Sazani</a>, and myself) made a 'trailer' for <i>The Adventures of OG Sherlock Kush</i> this past week, of all new footage not from the series itself:<br />
<br />
<center>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mlCsb7ALR3M?rel=0" width="500"></iframe></center>
<br />
As it says at the end of the trailer, new episodes will air on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyjTUNqX_vasRG4AAaM34jA">FOXADHD's YouTube </a>every Friday afternoon. You can still catch them early on the FXX Thursday night airings at 12:45 though.<br />
<br />
As for full TV shows, <i>The Lucas Bros Moving Co</i>, <i>Stone Quackers</i>, and even the <i>OG Sherlock</i> shorts can be seen live on FXX Thursdays at midnight (technically Friday...) or you can rewatch the entire block on the <a href="http://www.fxnetworks.com/shows/animation-domination/episodes">FXNow App</a> (requires a cable log-in, sadly).<br />
<br />
For those without cable, <i><a href="http://www.hulu.com/stone-quackers">Stone Quackers</a></i> and <a href="http://www.hulu.com/lucas-bros-moving-co">The Lucas Bros Moving Co</a> are now both on Hulu! (which is USA only... sorry again) Or you can watch the full <i><a href="http://www.hulu.com/animation-domination">Animation Domination</a></i> block on here too... but there's ads, and you need a cable log in again.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately I have no idea what the international broadcast situation is for these shows, but at least the FOXADHD YouTube is region free so you can keep up with <i>OG Sherlock Kush</i>.JDWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08374898731256570812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913681535199851991.post-72274037973876615222015-01-11T15:19:00.001-08:002015-01-11T15:19:38.215-08:00Stone Quackers, Lucas Bros, FXX and moreHey there, sorry I dont update this as often as I do my <a href="http://jdweiss.tumblr.com/">Tumblr</a>. I've been busy working at ADHD, animating and storyboarding on <i>The Lucas Bros Moving Co</i> as well as animating and coloring a new series of shorts with Evan Borja called <i>OG Sherlock Kush</i>. Both of which, and <i>Stone Quackers </i>(which I worked on last year) will all be airing on January 22nd on FXX, and airing every Thursday after that.<br />
<br />
There were already a couple preview nights, on FXX on Jan. 2, and FX on Jan 8, where preview episodes of all 3 aired before their official premiere. I managed to snag some screenshots of my credits from the FX Now app:<br />

There were no on-screen credits for <i>OG</i>, so I just screenshot the title card, for which I did the text and animated the flame. Episode of <i>Lucas </i>and <i>Quackers</i> should be on Hulu the next day after they air, and OG shorts will be up on YouTube. I'll be sure to link to all of them once they're up.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Other than that... got some new projects in mind, and album art to reveal soon. We'll see.</div>

<br />
In addition to the album artwork, I also filmed and directed a music video for a track off the album, "Fall In":<br />
<br />
<center>
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="281" mozallowfullscreen="" src="//player.vimeo.com/video/106143149?portrait=0&color=ff9933" webkitallowfullscreen="" width="500"></iframe></center>
<center>
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Both the album artwork and video are made from a series of video experiments I shot, applied over photographs/video shot by Chris Roberts (Orca Life himself) and edited together. Since Photoshop and After Effects have the same layer mode options, I tried to treat the video exactly as I did the artwork, which for an experiment I think turned out pretty well.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Also featured on the J-Card interior is the <a href="http://jdweiss.blogspot.com/2014/07/recent-developments.html">"Jesse" logo</a> that I created for Orca Life.</center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
<br /></center>
<center style="text-align: left;">
Watch the video, listen to and buy the album. Enjoy.</center>

Moving Co. to storyboard artist. So, that's totally a thing I hopefully I can talk more about in the future...<br />
<br />
Also I made album art and a music video that should be out in a few weeks, but again... secret....<br />
<br />
Also i'm on <a href="https://ello.co/jareddweiss">Ello</a> now for whatever reason...<br />

<br />
Most recently I created a new identity for Chris Roberts' music pseudonym, <a href="http://orcalife.bandcamp.com/">Orca Life</a>:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk-AkPmvJq1tGJ0GOJCf3uFY8gdKhv1FWab46JuqkWGnGRZOUFo07RRMTy7ShTOomHYKc1zY7sL3nb2xUFBGKj5hwBOEHzPtEpjddR6zSJ_vUrqTpaJs9N9b8yZEqA0vDAWGT7E2Mzq4Y/s1600/OrcaLife_Jesse_black72.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk-AkPmvJq1tGJ0GOJCf3uFY8gdKhv1FWab46JuqkWGnGRZOUFo07RRMTy7ShTOomHYKc1zY7sL3nb2xUFBGKj5hwBOEHzPtEpjddR6zSJ_vUrqTpaJs9N9b8yZEqA0vDAWGT7E2Mzq4Y/s1600/OrcaLife_Jesse_black72.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I drew this in pencil first, inked it with a brush pen, and then edited it in Photoshop. The stages can be seen on my <a href="http://jdweiss.tumblr.com/post/90960408040/i-drew-inked-a-new-identity-for-chris-roberts">Tumblr</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Before that, I laid out the artwork for <a href="http://otherworldlymystics.bandcamp.com/album/outlines">Rachel Thomasin's new album out on Otherworldly Mystics</a>. Rachel provided the base artwork herself, but I was responsible for the layout and copy for the cover/interior as well as the labels on the tapes and the color choices.</div>

This isn't my first interview, I was also <a href="http://oxfordfilmfest.tumblr.com/post/70792809416/take-5-with-transmission">recently interviewed for the Oxford Film Festival</a>, but those questions mostly pertain to <i>Transmission</i>.</div>

<br />
Anyways, this past March I drove cross-country from New Jersey to Los Angeles to work at <a href="http://foxadhd.com/">Animation Domination High-Def</a> after working from home for a month. I'm currently animating on an as of yet unannounced series, so I'll be sure to actually post when that happens because I'm very proud of the work I've done on it.<br />
<br />
From January through March I was also a judge for the <i><a href="http://www.nwanimationfest.com/2014-jurors/">Northwest Animation Festival</a> </i>in Portland, Oregon. <i><a href="http://jdweiss.blogspot.com/p/transmission.html">Transmission</a></i> screened there last year on the opening night alongside Disney's <i>Paperman</i>; a fact I still can't believe myself. <i>Transmission</i>, by the way, now has over 46,200 views on <a href="https://vimeo.com/40963580">Vimeo</a>...<br />
<br />
Those things, on top of my work at <a href="http://otherworldlymystics.bandcamp.com/">Otherworldly Mystics</a> and another part time job, have kept me very busy for the last few months; not to mention I'm still getting settled in LA. So with that, I'll leave you with some frog GIFs I recently made, where I experiment with styles for a possible project:<br />

You may have seen this image in <a href="http://jdweiss.blogspot.com/2014/01/various-work.html">a post last month</a>, though it was posted without a description. It's fan art for this cool time-travel film, <i>Timecrimes</i> (<i>Los Cronocrímenes</i>), directed by <a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1443023/?ref_=nv_sr_2">Nacho Vigalondo</a>.</div>

Well, it turns out Mr. Vigalondo is a pretty cool guy, and last week after sharing the artwork with him, he started using the artwork as his Twitter icon, and even posted a link to <i>Transmission</i> to go with it!</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
And it's also one of the first Staff Picks to use new animated thumbnails, and was used on <a href="https://vimeo.com/blog/post:607">Vimeo's blog as an example</a>, so by association, the screenshot was featured on sites like <a href="http://gizmodo.com/vimeo-is-experimenting-with-animated-thumbnails-for-vid-1507650440">Gizmodo</a> as well!<br />
<br />
Because of this, the view count on the film shot up 20,000 in just a couple days and is now currently at 35,000 views. I'm still trying to soak that all in...JDWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08374898731256570812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913681535199851991.post-48922956896214036562014-01-22T15:48:00.000-08:002014-01-22T15:48:06.866-08:00Various WorkSorry for the lack of updates here, here's some various work, unexplained (mostly fan art):<br />

<i><a href="http://jdweiss.blogspot.com/2013/10/otherworldly-mystics-book-one.html">Book One</a></i> has been making its rounds on the internet, here's just a snippet of the reviews:<br />
<br />
From <a href="http://www.secretdecoder.net/blog/2013/10/30/various-artists-otherworldly-mystics-book-one/">Decoder</a>:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"Pulling seventeen tracks of spaced, largely synth-focused sounds, Book One is a Philip K. Dick- and Arthur C. Clarke-inspired drift featuring sci-fi art that’d look ideal on your shelf of thrift store paperbacks."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
From <a href="http://www.portalsmusic.com/2013/11/sounds/wesley-dream-sequence/">Portals</a>:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>"The beautifully designed Book One features a vibrant, pulp-inspired album cover lifted straight from your favorite sci-fi book club flyer, but the real treasure is what lies behind the pages."</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The tape was also featured on the blog <a href="http://mysticgroove.tumblr.com/post/65815752783/book-one-a-compilation-by-otherworldly-mystics">Mystic Groove</a>, as well as spoken about in surprising detail within the first 15 min on the latest <a href="http://www.mixcloud.com/tabsout/tabs-out-cassette-podcast-episode-35/">Tabs Out Cassette Podcast</a>, where they amusingly mispronounce and suggest Bing-ing my name, and even play <a href="http://mattmarblo.com/">Matt Marblo's</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/tetrahominoid">Tetrahominoid</a> track in full!<br />
<br />
<i><b>UPDATE 12-16-13:</b></i> <i>Tabs Out </i>ranked <i>Book One</i> #46 on their list of <i><a href="http://www.tabsout.com/?p=4078">Top 200 Tapes of 2013</a></i>! It's also the #2 compilation on the list!<br />
<br />
Plus! A new quote from <a href="http://adhoc.fm/post/who-has-tapes-anymore-4/">Ad Hoc</a>:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
"<i>The dope ass cover art, which looks like a classic Isaac Asimov novel, sucked me in. The 17 tracks-- all by artists I have never heard word one about-- kept me floating in it’s cosmic realm.</i>"<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
From <a href="http://www.imposemagazine.com/bytes/the-best-cassette-releases-of-2013">Impose Magazine</a>:</div>
"<i>The vintage sci-fi book jacket style artwork sets the tone for this unexpected and stylistically varied collection ... One of those things that you see around, forget to listen to, and then get completely lost in.</i>"</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

<a href="http://otherworldlymystics.bandcamp.com/album/book-one">The <i>Otherworldly Mystics - Book One</i> compilation is now available on limited edition cassette!</a> It’s got 17 tracks by 17 great artists!<br />
<br />
For this first compilation, I designed the album art to look like a science fiction novel from the 70s, with the painting being inspired by Frank R. Paul’s work (not 70s, I know).<br />
<br />
The cassette itself was supposed to be yellow to go with the yellow on the cover logo but unfortunately we weren’t able to procure yellow cassettes in a reasonable timeframe.<br />
<br />
The original painting is 8" x 10", acrylic on canvas board.JDWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08374898731256570812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913681535199851991.post-54092163745489151342013-10-24T21:15:00.001-07:002013-10-24T21:16:06.641-07:00Transmission<center>

Hey! I’m back from my awesome time in Vermont this past month. I can’t even describe how productive I felt, whether it be from lifting logs and building structures alongside 11 awesome people and a cool dog or just in the amount of personal work I managed to get done in a short amount of time.<br />
<br />
I already have a bunch of work scanned, so I’ll be sure to upload it all incrementally in the coming weeks. I don’t want to unload it all on you at once.<br />
<br />
I will say though, re-entering my house and using my computer again after 31 days was hyper-weird and I wouldn’t be surprised if I spend less time surfing the web…JDWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08374898731256570812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913681535199851991.post-41172477137669427092013-07-31T09:15:00.000-07:002013-07-31T09:15:13.794-07:00See You In September<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hey everyone, this is my last post before I head up to Vermont for the month for <i>Ghostscout Training Camp</i>. I’m not bringing my computer with me, and for good reason, because I won’t have internet or power deep in the woods for those 30 days. But I'll be up there with <a href="http://ghostshrimp.net/newHOME.html">Ghostshrimp</a> and all these cool folks:<br />

I’m gonna be spending the month drawing, illustrating, building, camping, having fun, and most of all getting a much needed break from the technological world. Though, I did buy a new shortwave radio for some <i><a href="http://jdweiss.blogspot.com/p/transmission.html">Transmission</a></i> LARP…<br />
<br />
I have a few specific projects in mind that I intend to work on this month, and I’m even bringing a couple books for research with me to help out. It’s my hope that I’ll be able to use this undistracted time to finally free up my mind and get the ideas I want onto the page.<br />
<br />
And with that, I just want to say thanks for checking this blog out if you do. And if you have any questions or want to send me cool links while I’m gone, feel free to message me here or wherever and I’ll get back to you when I can.<br />
<br />

So, this is the only image I have at the moment from my screening and Q&A at San Diego Comic-Con last week. This is my famous ‘whadayagonnado?’ pose…<br />
<br />
There was a decent amount of people and I got about 10 questions in the limited time I had, but they were all good questions that I was not at all prepared to answer, especially the weirdly deep ones.<br />
<br />
All in all I had a great weekend, though I didn’t stay the full 5 days, but I got to hang out with friends I haven’t seen in awhile, meet some new people, gave out a couple cassette tapes to people I idolize and just relax for once. I’d say it went well!<br />
<br />
<i>Note:</i> I rep’d the Ghostshrimp shirt for this, though the question of ‘what are you doing next?’ never arose…<br />

So, it's officially time to reveal some super exciting news! <a href="http://jdweiss.tumblr.com/tagged/transmission"><em>Transmission</em></a> will be screening at both <a href="http://www.comic-con.org/cci/film-festival#sched_iff"><em>Comic-Con International's</em></a> and <a href="http://filmfest.dragoncon.org/"><em>Dragon*Con's</em></a> Film Festivals this year! But the news doesn't end there...<br />
<br />
Comic-Con has invited me to do a panel Q&A session in addition to screening the film, which will make this the first time that I'll be discussing the film and answering questions with people that have seen it. That will be happening on <strong>Thursday, July 18th at 7:40 PM</strong>, <a href="http://comiccon2013.sched.org/event/4d807606a0d9a18c9fc8bdd3da5d2102#.UdO_mj4cTaI">here is the event page for room location information</a>. I'm VERY excited for this!<br />
<br />
In addition, the film will also been screening at Dragon*Con, but due to my <a href="http://jdweiss.tumblr.com/post/52253001470/aldeanda-i-got-accepted-on-an-artist-residency">prior engagements in Vermont</a> for the entire month of August, I will be unable to attend. HOWEVER, the film's composer, <a href="http://orcalife.tumblr.com/">Chris Roberts</a>, will be in attendance for this, which will be his first appearance at any screenings for the film! There's no specified date/time (between August 30th and September 2nd) for this screening yet.<br />
<br />
If you cannot wait, or cannot make it to any screenings, <a href="http://otherworldlymystics.bandcamp.com/album/transmission">tapes are still available</a>!JDWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08374898731256570812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4913681535199851991.post-15512147487187589012013-06-21T18:40:00.001-07:002013-06-21T18:40:46.032-07:00Food of the Future<center>

It may or may not be related to <i>Transmission</i>, I'll let that be your judgement call.</div>

<i>Transmission Character Design Progression</i> (11” x 17”)<br />
<br />
Back in April, my film screened at the <i>Citrus-Cel Animation Film Festival</i> in Jacksonville, Florida. In addition to screening at the festival I was invited to participate in their <i>Art of Storytelling</i> exhibit; and made up this poster that details my character design process from early doodles to the very different final designs.<br />
<br />
I couldn’t attend the festival so I wasn’t able to get any pictures of the printed version, but supposedly I’ll receive such photos…. eventually.<br />
<br />
I have a couple other projects of unknown status sitting about, I might just show them too if nothing becomes of their intentions.JDWhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08374898731256570812noreply@blogger.com0
