I wanted to share with you the presentation I gave from SXSW 2010 Interactive in March. It’s officially titled “How to be Creative and Get Paid” but if you have seen this speech before, you may want to still check this one out. I think it’s one of the better versions of this presentation I have given and It’s full of new stuff. I would love to hear your thoughts on it. Hope you enjoy it.

Free iPhone 4 Model for Cinema 4D
June 24, 2010
Anders Kjellberg modeled a perfect iPhone 4 to prepare for the iPhone’s launch today and he is graciously giving it away over at his site. This will definitely come in handy for some upcoming iPhone App projects of mine.
Awesome Bonus: He lit the promo scene above with my HDRI Light Kit Pro. I’m honored!

Winner
Congrats to steve morel aka ekion for winning the “Nude No More” five second project. This piece was chosen by threadless to be their favorite. I think it’s pretty darn great too. Doesn’t hurt that my face ended up in the piece (hehe). The winner will get a package including the “Photographer” shirt sexily modeled above, a “I heart Threadless” Tshirt and a grab bag of great threadless gear including Issues of Faesthetic Magazine, A three pack of Field Notes, funny bumper stickers, Threadless sharpies and a crap ton of fun buttons. Also, congrats to Tom Gonets who won the raffle prize of a “Photographers” Tshirt and some more threadless shwag. Your video was picked randomly to receive a threadless prize package too! Great work to the winners and to everyone that participated. Thanks again to threadless who sponsored the contest. You rock!

How to build Joint Chains for Spiral Growth with Cinema 4D and Xpresso
June 23, 2010
I’m so excited to present the first tutorial from the hyper-talented Mike “The Monkey” Senften. Well, not a tutorial exactly, but 45 minutes of pure knowledge about how to use joints, hierarchies, and Xpresso to build natural structures that are great for spirals, curls and golden section goodness. This is definitely a bit more advanced then most of my tutorials, but you should be able to follow along. This is the first of what I’m hoping to be many more tutorials from Mike. The way that his work blends science heavy technical thinking and dead-sexy design chops makes him so perfect for this sort of thing. Plus, he is so passionate about this stuff isn’t he? Please leave any feedback you have about his presentation style or his hair cut or anything really in the comments.
Some words from Mike
“It’s 45mins of me geeking out on spiral growth. If that interests you then grab a whiskey and come along for the ride. The purpose of this video is not only to share some of the methods I use in my work, but also to gauge people’s reactions to the pace, focus, content, and style of the presentation… so please, feel free to comment.”
