Introductions

My name is Caitlin Lundin. Most people mispronounce my last name as London. It's Lun Deen. It's cool though. No hard feelings.

I'm very interested in creating using various mediums. My favorite is construction paper art. I made several pieces sing construction paper and even entered one into a French comic competition. I did fairly well. All my pieces have been 2-D static pieces though. My next step is to try a short stop motion using construction paper art. My muse is my sassy and lazy dog named Pepper.

I have taken one animation class before that focused on Flash animation. The piece was short but I had fun working on it. I'd like to make more projects in the future. I definitely want to learn more programs so that I can enhance my animation skills. I hope to someday work in children's entertainment. I think the best job would be doing some sort of creature construction for a Bill Nye type show.

Other work that I have done while at the University of Texas at Austin includes a documentary that I co-directed with my boyfriend called "What's in a Name?" that was screened at the Austin Gay and Lesbian Film Festival here in Austin as well as selected to be in 10 Under 10 this year. I have also worked as a restaurant reviewer for a segment on TSTV's Austin Underground called "Put this in Your Mouth".
