Just a Little Cosmetic Work
Spent a fair amount of my limited research time budget on further work with Flash MX and Maya (a personal indulgence). No great new profound discoveries, mostly just figuring out how to say things in ActionScript, figuring out variable scoping rules, when strings and ints get automagically converted and mangled etc.
Did get a chance to do some more work on the style sheet for the blog. It's looking a little less generic and out of the box no? I'm trying to slowly edge toward a look based on the recent Solaris remake. I kinda liked the blue streamlined æsthetic the computer art director employed in the film. In fact I enjoyed that version much better than the Tarkovsky original. (Though if you enjoy watching ten minutes of drop-in footage of Osaka -- with no dialog, character development or plot advancement -- as well as many other like indulgences, by all means rent his version. Donatas Banionis who plays Kelvin and Natalya Bondarchuk who plays Hari, as opposed to Rheya, are both very good.)
