Rob "Rob G" Gosbee: Animator, director and editor in Denver, Colorado.

Sometimes its hard to get a handle on some of the expensive 3D packages like Max, Mayer or Houdini. There is a lot of other cheaper options around but none as cheap as Blender 3D....."Its free!!" I have been an animator for 23 years now, working on productions for Nickelodeon, Disney and the BBC to name a handful. I have used Maya and Max and several others. The problem has always been to keep up with the latest trends. I have, over the years, forked out thousands of dollars in upgrades and new hardware. So I decided to move to open source software for operating systems. I now am using Ubuntu, Gimp, Inkscape, Kdenlive and Blender3D as my main development tools. As I moved from Max and Mayer to Blender I found there was no one place to learn the program easily. I did find there was lots of great one off tutorials, but I had to search for days to find the ones that would build my skills cohesively. Frustrated, I decided I would start a blog to help with my personal progress but also give others a chance to learn from my discoveries. The site is here http://tfaschool.blogspot.co.nz/ I hope you get as much out of it as I have.

I'm helping Mike Brashear get his story out about how he saves horses, beat cancer, and wants to help LLS end cancers of the blood forever. Please, if you can, help us out by sharing or even donating if you feel so called. Thanks, my fellow film folks! https://youtu.be/U-MrJd5-6CA

Who are the worst Rapper/Actors? https://youtu.be/nniRbV7eBF0

Great to connect with you, Rob :)

GZA crashes our interview with Killah Priest and then tells us he changed his mind about 50 Cent... WHOA! https://youtu.be/CClpkazSSR4

If you haven't seen Predator yet, I recommend you get on that! Not that the script was all that special, but the film harkens back to a time when unPC jokes and large muscles were common place. https://youtu.be/4pBoZX-LnIU

So, for real... This video in no way condones itself. I meant that exactly as I wrote it. https://youtu.be/qAmpa8Wr2WU

What do you do when you have writer's block? Any tips or suggestions you can share?

How many of you have seen KIN yet? There are some very real creative problems in making a short film into a feature length, and even more problems when you try to make that film the cornerstone of a world building franchise... https://youtu.be/zVUYWz_pXS0

If you wanted to know who the next rappers out of the CO scene are going to be, it's a good chance it could be these guys, or someone they influenced. https://youtu.be/Glpq9gRKeU8

Is it Lea Carpenter's script or Mark Wahlberg's acting that held this film back? https://youtu.be/Sw1NkgS56sk

Mile 22 is NOT THAT BAD! It' may not win any awards, but it will win you over. https://youtu.be/Sw1NkgS56sk

This week we parodied Melon from the Needle Drop on Youtube! His reviews are amazing, but his style is out there and a good target for some roasting. https://youtu.be/or-E-auU_bo

https://youtu.be/MhGYBT1quC8 Black People don't love Chicken... THEY HATE THEM! And that's what keeps the rest of us safe. (The words of a black man, so don't come at me with any racist allegations.)

Making Gangsters a Protected Class would save a generation being lost to being in their feelings. https://youtu.be/uhy-P8QKiAU

Finally after 8 months of blood sweat and tears, the teaser trailer for my film Night Shift is finally here.

We are now one step closer growing "Australian Action Cinema"

Enjoy

Seeing the Rock defy the odds and stereotypes about the disabled at the same time was cool, but maybe not enough to make this a good film. https://youtu.be/beCl0xWEKXc
