Rage, thank you very much for the offer! But, My mail just came back up... I hope that its working now, that would be nice user added image

I think it is, now I can send stuff out atleast. Thanks alot, hopefully I will hear something today, who knows... Sorry for the lack of updates! Been really busy and stressed out.

Hey, Last night I wasd playing ET (Enemy Territory) and My video card over heated. So I restarted it and when windows was comming up... Smoke was comming from my machine, and I had that really
"uh oh" electrical smell... some of you know what I am talking about user added image

Then my monitor went off.... what happened was the memory and stuff in my videocard fried user added image

But the good thing, is that now I know why my CPU and Ram kept on overheating, because of the ambient heat caused by my video card getting to hot the last few weeks... So I went out and spent "a little" money on a GForce FX 5900 card. So much better than the Gforce 4 cards!! it runs much much cooler, and the temp of my processors stays around 50 degrees, and it doesn't lock up anymore. Pretty cool. so now I think that my hardware issues are fixed, just need to reistall windows, I think I will upgrade to xp. The only bad thing about the video card is that it takes up two slots... that means something else has to go
user added image

i have my sound card, nic card, capture card, usb 2.0 card... not sure what to remove, for now I removed my sound card, and used the built in one on the motherbord. Talk to you all later,

Hey guys.

the interview went really welll. Much better than expected. (unofficially, he said I should be hirred user added image

Just got to wait untill Oct. To see when I would go in for the personal interview and then find a place to live.. I would move in in the end of November. I am very excited. THey really liked everything i did on my demoreel besides the matchmoving... He asked me if I had anyother models besides my jeep... I said I had a few... lol so now they want me to send in a demo with modeling, if it is good enough, i iwill be one of two people who get to move around a bit in differet departments, modeling/matchmoving... This is what i wanted to for my first job in the film industry because if for some reason I would leave or something, I have more than just one area of experience. Anyways, needless to say I am very excited, sounds like it is pretty much for sure, just need to go thru the rest of the steps of the process. user added image

So... now I need to make a modeling demoreel. I think I have plenty of stuff, I just need to put it all together. he said it doesn't even need to be rendered, as long as they can see the wires, thats all they really care about. So, I think I will put a bunch of good quality playblast together. Now I really need to get cracking on this truck so i can get it done for my demo. Talk to you later,
Brian
