What a random happenstance. You're now viewing the web presence for Sydney-based designer Arinne. Motion graphics and film are my thing.oh reckless abandon26.02.10

I cannot wait to see this movie. Just saying.

I’ve been in Malaysia for the past 11 days, but it’s time to return home tomorrow. It’s flown by so quickly – I had a fantastic time though, especially since it was my first time being here for Chinese New Year. It was great to experience it “properly,” although lots of the food stores close during the period which means I didn’t get to eat as much as I usually do!
.
I still managed to keep up with Skins whilst away, which thank god, I might have gone insane otherwise. I adored both episodes 3 and 4, especially 4. Katie’s ep was just amazing, and whilst not as intense as eps 2 and 3, it was a welcomed change. I love the last few scenes more than I can say.
.
Oh and the song used in the final scene – oh my word. It’s so beautifully heartbreaking and uprising all in the one. I haven’t stopped listening to it on repeat for ages. Skins music is always so spot on.

The job hunt officially starts when I get home.

eta. Oh it kind of sounded like I overlooked episode 2. This is false, episode 2 managed to shatter my soul. That’s all.

Hi. So I’m a little behind on the *seeking* job part of this 2010 year. It’s already the eleventh! I guess I’m feeling a little embarrassed about actually trying to submit my portfolio to anyone. Yet I know, having confidence in your own work and putting yourself out there is half the battle.
.
I guess I better just put my LFW (looking for work) hat on and actually start.
.
OH. I’ve also discovered a new music artist to adore. Ellie Goulding. Apparently she’s relatively new and welsh.
Check out her myspace page!
.
AND. Skins promos. Okay, I’m already excited about the new season of skins, but these new trailer-type things that they’ve released are pretty awesome too. If not, exactly the type of work I want to get into.
Happy No Year!31.12.09
Just wanted to say a quick happy new year to everyone!

Oh and Alicia Keys new album is ace.

Oops, so I’ve been home now for nearly a week. There really wasn’t much opportunity to post whilst I was overseas, and then I came home and it was Christmas! Ha. Gotta love this time of year, jolly jolly jolly. I got a new mac slim keyboard, and am loving it. I geeked out for a little bit when I unwrapped it, heh.
.
Thailand and Laos were amazing. It really was interesting to see the difference between Thailand and Laos, as soon as you cross the friendship bridge into Laos you can just feel the difference almost immediately. My only real experience of Asia has been visiting Malaysia, and I think KL and Bangkok have similarities, but apart from that, everything else was pretty different. Bangkok was a lot more modern than I anticipated, part of that due to my naivety I’m sure.
.
New Years is around the corner, and I think I need to get a move on in terms of trying to find a job. 2010 is going to be MY year. 
i’m leaving on a jet plane06.12.09
Bout to leave to go to the airport. Thailand here I come!
Catch you on the other side.

my exhibition space
Last minute preparations tomorrow for Thailand! I’m pretty damn excited now. I just went and looked at the places we’re staying, and they look awesome! I hope I pack all the essentials, but should be okay. I’m sure I can find anything I need if I forget something…not planning to pack a whole lot of clothes either. BUY BUY BUY!!!
.
Hum hum.
.
Even though I’m only going away for 16 days, I think it’s possibly the longest I’d have been away from any family. I’ve never travelled overseas with just friends before, and I honestly cannot believe it has taken this long to do it. But thank god that I am, not that I’m sick of home, but it’ll be so refreshing to just get away. And a nice ending to uni. ‘Uni’s’ as a friend pointed out, the old old version of schoolies. Hah. Anyway, must stock up on medical supplies, electronic supplies and cosmetic supplies. I think those are the necessities of travel.
.
I must say, TV has been a bit of a let down. All my shows aren’t up to par… SPEAKING OF PARS. TIGER WOODS. What the hell. He was like, my idol. And I’m not even kidding. I started to adore him from a young age (being into golf and such), and it really is just disappointing. I can’t even see anything funny about it, and it annoys me when people crack jokes about it. If there was one shiny figure in sports, it was him, and now he’s ruined. Sigh. He’s really let himself and his family down. One day, maybe, I can go back to screaming out his name whilst watching him on tv, but that’s not happening anytime soon. I hope I can though.
.
Well, that came out of nowhere 
Moving on. I think I am seeing Where The Wild Things Are tomorrow and I have no been more psyched for a movie in so long! As soon as the trailer came out, I have been jonesing to see it. I think I even made an entry saying that back then. Anyway, the wild things look utterly amazing and it’s just such a beloved book that I hope it lives up to its expectations. Which I have faith it will. It can’t not be good. It also has, um, I forget her name at the moment. But the actress from Into The Wild, whom I love. And the type is really hot for the film.
.
Anyway, got a busy couple days coming up, I haven’t even begun to pack. I should go to bed, but I’ll probably drop by before I fly away.
nb. added more things to portfolio. Still need to do more though, eep.
.
ETA: “As soon as the trailer came out, I have been jonesing to see it.” Best pun ever.
until morning02.12.09
So the exhibition last night was a lot of fun. I didn’t talk to ANY of the promised industry people though, which is a shame, but hopefully something interesting comes of it. Even if it’s just random people saying hi, that’ll be enough for me. What was upsetting was that our so-called ‘free drinks’ was actually limited to FOUR drinks. Luckily being the savvy girl that I am, I managed to steal a page of the wristbands which allowed you free drinks, and pretty much provided free drinks for my friends and family. Go team. Also a friend of mine was ‘VIP’ and she pretty much got free drinks all night anyway. Ahhh, we almost got our moneys worth I think.
.
It was really nice seeing all of the work from our year, there was a lot of impressive stuff to look at. If you live in Sydney and are vaguely interested in design (how could you not be?) I strongly suggest you go and visit. It’s open for a week, so there’s still time!
.
I’ve been going through my work and have started uploading it. It’s quite surprising how much stuff I actually do have. Actually, I think it’s more along the lines of, I’m surprised how much work I don’t hate. Which is actually nice, thankyou university…thankyou.
.
.
TO THE FORE, my major project is now online. So you can watch it! There’s links all over this joint for it, so I don’t need to bombard you with it anymore than I have already.
And just like that, university is all done. Completely. The only thing left to do is graduate. Now I have to be a real person.
we were asked to provide a blurb for ourselves which went on our panel. Mine of course, was real serious.

So I’m nearly all the way there. I don’t think there are any errors here, and I’ve barelystarted to upload some actual design work. I’m not going to get it all done unfortunately as I have to leave soon for the exhibition! Eek!
I will be putting up the full version of my film very soon, it’s just uploading and well, it’s not the smallest of files. I presume everything will be finished in the next few days. Time to dig around in all of that old work and decide what is worthy for display and what is not-so-much.

” /facepalm ” is the only way to start this blog.
I’ve been trying to change this theme for ages, and it’s safe to say that I’ve forgotten a lot of the php stuff that I learnt in my web subject. I’m slowly getting the hang of it again though, which is why it isn’t completely dysfunctional…just slightly. I really should complete this website tomorrow though, especially because tomorrow night is THE night! Opening Night of 2009 Graduates Exhibition! I’m rather excited, it should be a good time. (oh, on that note, I was quite happy with my MP result 
)
I wish I could finish it now, but it’s late and I’d rather have an earlier start tomorrow than wearily work away at something that takes a lot of brain power. Even for my massive brain.
