VISITA DE MIS PAPAS

Estas son algunas de las fotos que hemos tomado durante estos dias de verano por la visita de mis papas.

CRASH ADDICTS WEB SITE

Crash Addicts is a great combination of design, technology and culture. This webpage was designed by LIFECAPTUREINC, a Toronto's inteactive web design company, located in the hearth of the downtown. This is a new company with fresh people and many ideas, dedicated to create a new philosophy of design. I had the opportunity to participate in the creation of this webpage with some 3D animations. There is a very interesting interactivity in the modules designed that the user can even "play in the making" of a car to be used in a crash rally. 3D animation (Rigging and SFXs also) in "THE GARAGE" module was made by me as well as the camera animation and lighting and couple more things in the "DRIVE IN" module. Just follow the intructions to get to the "INTERACTIVE LANSDOWNE" and enjoy it.

The link to the page is situated on the right hand side of this blog, or go to www.crashaddicts.com

Javier Castellanos DEMO REEL

This is my Demo Reel with the latest work that I have done that can be published. On the botton of the video there is the explanation of what I did for each one of the works shown. Enjoy it!

Y AQUI MATEO HABLANDO. MATEO "TALKING"

Y aqui Mateo hablando como lora. Este video fue grabado el 2 de Enero de 2007.

Mateo talking and talking and talking to us, and did not want to stop doing it.

MATEO: RISAS, AGUUUSS Y MANOS

Llevo un buen tiempo trabajando en unos proyectos de LIFECAPTUREINC y no he tenido realmente mucho tiempo para hacer estas otras cosas que me divierten, como editar este videito de Mateo y poner más fotos en mi blog o hacer otras tantas que he dejado de lado. Pero bueno, este video de Mateo que van a ver a continuación, fue filmado por Kathy alrededor del 28 de Noviembre. Para esa fecha, este bebesito ya llevaba unas tres semanas diciendo y respondiendo a algunos sonidos que nosotros le hacemos. Es de verdad muy alegre ver todas estas cositas que pasan en la vida de nuestro hijo. Espero lo disfruten.

I have been working (freelancing) for this amazing company LIFECAPTUREINC in the last weeks and I was not able to put anything in my blog. But this video of Mateo is so inspiring that I had to put it in as soon as possible. Kathy filmed it last week, and I did just a little editing to it today. I hope you all enjoy it.

JUST A LITTLE MORE OF MATEO

It is just amazing the way that time goes by and you don't even feel it. 7 weeks ago we were having a baby boy and today that baby boy is just so big that he is using his fist 3-6 months pants and stuff. There is no way to stop him from growing. Every second Mateo is a centimeter bigger. Time is going fast........

"El tiempo pasa, nos vamos poniendo viejos....." como dice la canción, y no nos damos cuenta. Solo al momento de comprar los pañales y cambiarle de "ropita" a Mateo. Ya casi me alcanza. Es como si por cada segundo que pasa su cuerpo se estirara más y más. Es realmente impresionante. Ojala lo pudieramos disfrutar un poco más de ese tamañito. Pero.... se va y se va.....

Aqui con Papito, solito, con Mamita, disfrazado en Halloween y despues de Halloween.

With Daddy, by myself, with Mommy in halloween, again and after all it.

DON'T LET ANYBODY DO THIS TO YOU. CAMARON QUE SE DUERME....

I know, I just had so many drinks and didn't care much about the people that I was with. I guess they were not my friends because this is what happened after I passed out.

Tengan cuidado con quien van a tomarse unos traguitos porque se termina uno emborrachando y miren lo que le hacen a uno los "amigos", si asi se pueden llamar. Y por si acaso, no se duerman.

JULIANA CASTELLANOS

Y como si tener un hijo no fuera poco, la felicidad no puede ser mayor sin tener también una nueva sobrina. Esta es Julianita Castellanos, hija de mi hermano mayor Juan Pablo y mi cuñada Nana. Y claro, cargando a Julianita esta mi hermosa sobrinita Valentina, la ahora hermana mayor. Felicitaciones Lapo y Nana y Vale.

This is my new niece Juliana, my oldest brother's new born daugther who was born on Octuber 18th 2006 just after 6 pm. In this picture, Valentina is holding her little sister Juliana. Congrats to all the family for this new baby.

DE TAL PALO.... - WHO SAID HE IS NOT MY SON?

Treinta y pico años de diferencia y aparece esta fotocopia mia. Increible el parecido no? que no se diga que no es hijo mio porque definitivamente es igualito al taita. O que alguien se atreva a decir que no es asi.... Imposible verdad? La foto mia fue tomada a mi sexto día de nacido y la de Mateito a los veintiseis de él...... si, la única diferencia son los cachetes, es que yo era menor al momento de la foto. jajaja

Do you see any difference between these two pics? there is none, isn't there? But there is, one is a picture of my baby son and the other one is a picture of me, thirty some years apart. He looks just like me, doesn't he? I know, you are going to say that there is one difference and it is because he's been very well fed and I was not. hahaha, I'm just kidding....

MAS FOTOS DE MATEO - MORE OF MATEO'S PICTURES

Aquí estoy poniendo más foticos de Mateito que han sido tomadas en estos días aca en Toronto, algunas solito o con los abuelitos o con los papitos o ............
I am just adding more and more pictures of Mateo that we have taken in the last days. I am not putting them in chronological order necessarily, I am just throwing pics that I like.

I am Back

After a quite some time I am back here blogging a little. I am going to start posting some of my works as well as some of my new born babie's pictures. Thank you all for waiting.

WARNING

It is incredible, no body is safe in internet, not even when trying to do something fun, like a BLOG. I have been receiving this "cool" comments in my blog that are redirected to my e-mail address and the only thing that they say is "how cool my web page is" or "how nice the colors of my babie's black and white ultrasound is". This comments are part of the huge web casinos industries that try to do advertisement in any way, even through the work of other people. As a person that uses the internet everyday I find it very useful, but at the same time I am very sad that there is no way to be free of people wanting to take advantage of the technology and the different forms of communication. Because of it I am restricting my blog's comments section. If anyone is wanting to write something to me or make a comment of my blog, please write it and send it to my e-mail address. Those who know my e-mail. Thanks for the good comments to the responsible ones and too bad for the ones that do not respect anyone else's space.

Long Time Away

I know I have not been here paying attention to my blog but I am back. I have been working in my Final Film for Sheridan Cllege and it is keeping me busy, as well as my family and other things. This is a little of the first proofs that I have... There's still a lot to do to these images, more texturing, better lighting, and so, and so, and so....

Bike Animation

Esta es una animación que hice hace dos años mientras estudiaba en el Digital Media Arts College en Boca Ratón, Florida. La animación fue hecha sin ponerle joints al personaje que maneja la bicicleta. Solo utilicé parenting y key setting para ponerla a funcionar. Es una forma rudimentaria pero eficaz en este proyecto.

I made this animation while studying @ DMAC in Boca Raton, Florida two years ago. The character riding the bike has no joints or anything like that. It was made setting keys and parenting only. The same with the bike. The animation is rudimentary but it worked in this project.

@ High Park

This is a picture of my beautiful wife taken today at HIGH PARK, a very nice place to relax. Perfect in a Sunday afternoon. At this point Mateo (the baby) is in his 24th week, and still does not show to much.

Una linda foto de mi hermosa esposa (Kathy) tomando el sol en el HIGH PARK en la tarde de hoy domingo. Como pueden ver su barriga no está tan grande todavía a pesar de estar en la semana 24 de embarazo de nuestro hijo Mateo.

COLOMBIA

I have no words to describe my feelings after watching this video. Please, you colombians and no colombians take three minutes of your time to see this beautiful message.

Me quedé sin palabras y con lágrimas casi orriendo por mis mejillas después de ver este video sobre Colombia. Por favor, colombianos y no colombianos, tómense su tiempo para ver esto.

LipSync Excercice

This is the last animation that I did with a character that was given to us at Sheridan as part of the LipSync excercice. I had to choose a dialog and use it as the dialog of my character. I got a piece of The Matrix. Animation, color, ligthting and rendering are all mine.

Esta animación es la última que he hecho hasta el momento, donde usé un modelo hecho en la universidad que fué dado a todos nosotros con el propósito de animarlo y ponerlo a hablar. Por supuesto para esto debí buscar un diálogo, y escogí un aparte de la película The Matrix.

First Animation @ Sheridan

Esta es la primera animación que hice en el Sheridan Institute. Las texturas, el modelo, la animación fue hecha toda por mi, lo único que no hice fue el sonido aunque lo puse todo junto, espero que les guste.

This animation is the first of the works that I have done @ Sheridan. I hope you like it.

COMING SOON

Por supuesto, lo primero que debo poner en mi Javier Blog-In, es una foto o un video de mi primer hijo, quien nacerá a mediados de Septiembre de este año. Es un niño y será llamado Mateo. Nombre que escogimos rápidamente y sin problema, lcosa que no pasó con los nombres que pensamos en caso de que fuera niña. Desde la escogencia del nombre, cada cosa que he y hemos vivido con mi esposa Kathy desde el mismo momento en que fue concebido, ha sido excitante; la prueba de embarazo, los primeros meses, la primera ida al médico y por supuesto todas las veces que hemos ido a los ultrasonidos (ecografías) para ver como va el crecimiento del bebé. Es inimaginablemente impresionante (en el buen sentido de la palabra) sentir las primeras pataditas y ver como se mueve la barriga de Kathy cada vez que Mateo patea o se mueve con fuerza para un lado u otro. La felicidad que me envuelve es tan grande como el nerviosismo de ser responsable por una vida de un ser tan indefenso como lo es un bebé. Simplemente espero poder hacerlo con responsabilidad y sabiduría para asi poder educarlo para que tenga un buen futuro.

Mateito. Bienvenido a este mundo, te espero con los brazos y el corazón abiertos.


A new life is coming to this world, a new life that is growing inside my wife Kathy, a new life that will be born in September 2006 here in Toronto. He's name is Mateo, Mateo Castellanos, my baby, our very best creation.

Our life changed since the first time we knew about "our" pregnancy and I say our pregnancy because this is a two persons' deal. It is the both of us who are pregnant. Everything has been very exciting, pregnancy tests, visits to the doctor, ultrasounds, everything. This past Monday I felt, for the first time, Mateo kicking Kathy's belly and I could also see her belly moving when Mateo was rolling and moving and kicking inside of her. It is incredible that at this point with only five months, he moves as much as he does, being such a small baby. I am so excited about it but, at the same time I am very nervous because I want to educate my son in the best possible way. Not easy to do, specially in this world but I will try to do it with my heart and my soul, and I hope for the best.

MATEO, Welcome to this world!!!

With love... Your dad

Y POR SUPUESTO, DOS VIDEOS

Tambien tengo estos dos videos de Mateo haciendo de las suyas dentro del vientre de Kathy.

Two videos of Mateo moving like crazy inside Kathy's belly.
