I’ve Made a Commercial, for My Own Radio Station!

Making a computer animated TV commercial in three days? Yes. Yes, I can.
Words Have Power
'If you want to be an artist, do it. If you want to direct, or act, or write, don't think about it, do it. Take a chance and jump off the cliff. You can build your wings on the way down. As long as you love what you do and do what you love, you won't fail. Love is the key to everything.
--Ray Bradbury, 2009
'To all who come to this happy place ... Welcome!'
--Walt Disney, July of 1955
'If you can possibly afford it, always buy the best. You'll rarely be disappointed.'
--Alex Sherman, 1994
'Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.'
--Samuel Clemens
'Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return. '
--Leonard da Vinci
