[{{localurl::|action=purge}} Purge page cache] Greetings, my full name is Alexander James Begg (born October 30, 1985) I am a visual effects artist, and animator, and producer. I own my own visual effects and animation company, Martian Digital, but I am about to begin a job in an visual effects and Computer-generated imagery studio in Hollywood, California, near the Kodak Theatre {| style="background:transparent; margin-left:15px" |- Pending tasks for User:AlexTheMartian[{{localurl::|action=purge}} :] | align="right" | [{{localurl::/to_do|action=edit}} edit this list] - [{{localurl::/to_do|action=watch}} add to watchlist] |- | colspan="2" valign="top" style="background:#efefef; padding:5px; margin: 5px; border: 1px dotted black;" | {{:/to_do}} |} == Mini-biography == I grew up in La Puente, California, I am an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America, and member of the Order of the Arrow. I was on the front page of a local newspaper, Grand Marshal in a local city parade, and was in the 2005 Tournament of Roses Parade marching with the Bob Hope Humor Trophy banner, in front of the Sesame Street-themed float. I am now living in an apartment in the city of Los Angeles, California, next to Culver City, California, near Los Angeles International Airport. ==Education== I attended High School for my first two years at Don Bosco Technical Institute in Rosemead, California, where I took one quarter each of Manufacturing, Graphic Design, Electronics, and Computer Science. I took one year of Manufacturing after that. For my last two years I transfered to San Dimas High School [http://www.sandimashigh.com/], in San Dimas, California (which is featured in the movie ''Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure'' (1989) and the title of The Ataris song ''Blue Skies, Broken Hearts...Next 12 Exits''), and took an Animation & Film class in the two years I was there. I am currently attending The Art Institute of California - Los Angeles [http://aicala.artinstitutes.edu/] (Wikipedia article for The Art Institutes made by me) in Santa Monica, California for a Bachelor of Science degree in Media Arts and Animation. ==Animation timeline== ImageSize = width:592 height:auto barincrement:16 PlotArea = left:15 right:55 top:10 bottom:25 AlignBars = early BarData = barset:animation Colors = id:black value:black id:canvas value:rgb(0.97254902,0.988235295,1) id:blocks value:rgb(0.756862746,0.788235295,0.83137255) BackgroundColors = canvas:canvas DateFormat = mm/dd/yyyy Period = from:2000 till:2009 TimeAxis = orientation:horizontal format:mm/dd/yyyy ScaleMajor = unit:month increment:1 start:2000 Define $right = anchor:till align:left PlotData= barset:animation align:left textcolor:black fontsize:7 width:12 color:blocks $right from:06/01/2000 till:08/01/2000 shift:(4,-4) text:Autodesk Animator from:04/01/2001 till:06/15/2001 shift:(4,-4) text:Animated GIFs from:08/25/2002 till:06/15/2003 shift:(4,-4) text:Film Making & Animation from:08/25/2003 till:06/15/2004 shift:(4,-4) text:Advanced Film Making & Animation from:10/03/2004 till:09/01/2007 shift:(4,-4) text:BS in Media Arts & Animation * Summer 2000 (before high school): First use of animation using Autodesk Animator program from Don Bosco Technical Institute. * Spring 2001: Animated GIFs using Macromedia Fireworks in Computer Science at Don Bosco Technical Institute. * 2002–2003: Introduction to Film Making & Animation using traditional 2D animation techniques, and 3D using Maxon Cinema 4D at San Dimas High School. * 2003–2004: Advanced Film Making & Animation at San Dimas High School. * 2004–Present: BS in Media Arts and Animation at The Art Institute of California - Los Angeles. ==Filmography== * ''[http://www.oceanviewfilms.com/films/Locker767/about767.html Locker 767: The First Semester]'' (executive producer) (2004 in film) * ''The 1 Second Film'' (post-production) (producer) (2006 in film)

User:Whosyourjudas User talk:Whosyourjudas 20:57, 27 Oct 2004 (UTC) == Justin Berfield == I'm thinking of featuring Justin Berfield in the "Did you know"-section on the main page. You mention he's the youngest person to appear in over 100 episodes of 2 different television shows. Where did you get this information? Since this is in my opinion the most interesting fact in the article I'd like to use it, but I'm hesitant of featuring it before I know its absolutely true. User:MacGyverMagic|User talk:MacGyverMagic 09:38, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC) :Okay, would you mind rewriting some more? IMDB is copyrighted and your text is a bit too close to the original. Thanks for the quick response just now. :) User:MacGyverMagic|User talk:MacGyverMagic 09:51, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC) ::Please let me know when you finish so I can admin the possible copyvios out of the history and feature it. :) User:MacGyverMagic|User talk:MacGyverMagic 10:02, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC) :::Since you already had the filmography listed I cut some films from the intro which you didn't tell much else about. Are you happy with my changes? User:MacGyverMagic|User talk:MacGyverMagic 10:22, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC) :It looks okay to me. I'm only wondering, what edits in the history I should delete to make copyvio hunters happy... Don't be alarmed if it looks like it's deleted, I'll cleanup the history a bit. User:MacGyverMagic|User talk:MacGyverMagic 10:31, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC) ::I'll include it when updating within the next 24 hours. User:MacGyverMagic|User talk:MacGyverMagic 11:30, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC) :After further consideration, I've decided to keep it back until the next update to avoid having too many US subjects listed. The one featured now would have become too old if I didn't use it now. I'll inform you as soon as I feature it, though! User:MacGyverMagic|User talk:MacGyverMagic 13:53, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC) ==Dr. Phil== Dr. Phil is both the colloquial name of the guy, and a television show. They are two separate things (not one, it just doesn't have two bullets), and if someone wishes to write the article on the show, they should. User:TheCustomOfLife 07:42, Jan 26, 2005 (UTC) ==Holy Quigon!== Awesome job man! You did all that last night with the sw-stub? No wonder you're still sleeping. We might just have to team up here and make the Star Wars section of Wikipedia one of the best. User:Riffsyphon1024 19:37, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC) ==KROQ== Hello, Alex. Since you're working on KROQ, do you ever listen to that station when you're in Los Angeles, California? -- User:Mike Garcia 15:36, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC) I got your reply, though. Wow, you listen to KROQ and live in my city too! So if you listen to it all the time, have you ever listened to the Block Party or the 90's Weekend (which plays old songs released in the 1990ss). They also have annual concerts: KROQ Weenie Roast and KROQ Acoustic Christmas. Well, i'll talk to you later. -- User:Mike Garcia 22:53, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC) == :Image:Field museum stub big.gif == I am wondering about the copyright status of this image. It is claimed fairuse, but sincerely doubt it, and we also use it far beyond fairuse provisions anyway. Could you clear this up? User:Burgundavia 17:05, Apr 22, 2005 (UTC) == Your MySpace profile == How do you do that, eg Backgound color, Video, etc. Mine is http://www.myspace.com/14086000 User:SGCommand == Picture of Antonio Villaraigosa == Hello, I would like to upload the picture of him to wikimediacommons to use it for the :nl:Antonio Villaraigosa. Where does this picture come from? I believe I need to know this in order to get it accepted by commons. Greetings and thanks in advance, User:Kiekvogel 19:13, 20 May 2005 (UTC) :Thanks for your comments, User:Kiekvogel 16:47, 26 May 2005 (UTC) == Belated Welcome == I'm a bit late, but "Welcome to Wikipeida!" It is especially nice to welcome scouts and scouters to Wikipedia. Yours in the Wimachtendienk, User:Johntex 21:10, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
