Dear Stephen Schwartz,
I know you can relate to the plight of loving a story, loving a medium, and trying to convince someone in power to see your vision! You did it with Marc Platt when you convinced him to make it a stage musical. I’m just approaching you with the same sincerity. Is it possible to talk you out of doing a live action movie adaptation? Would you consider doing a traditionally animated adaptation? In my heart I think the musical needs the medium, and I think the medium needs your musical. I just love them both so much and hopefully that shows through in the story reel.
Sincerely,
Heidi Jo Gilbert

WIN!
So my ward got challenged by the undefeated Santa Monica ward to a game of powder puff football. And I'm getting WAY too into it! I had never played football before, but it's AWESOME! We're going to take them DOWN! Anyway I've gotten a little carried away, and I drew a logo for our team. The Glendale Angels! Ha ha! It was fun to kind of mix animation with graphic design! Took FOREVER to make it in Illustrator! Maybe later I'll put up the different stages I went through. Anyway. That's all. Let's win.

FLY you fools!
Because my brother's (and hence my) birthday is coming up, and also because I REALLY want Minkyu to draw Jean Grey for me....I finally drew Elphaba to keep up my end of the bargain!
You may think that she's commanding her monkey minions with the wave of her hand, but you'd be wrong. She's actually reaching for her hat that flew off frame when she decided to try defying gravity.
Good thing my brother doesn't check my blog.

King Louie
Wow. I updated.
YouTube cut off the end of my video. Which kind of annoys me but I don't know how to fix it.

Let the games begin
So Austin Madison tagged me in this blog game. Where I have to tell you seven things about me and tag seven other people to do the same. Ready? GO!
#1a Matthias gave me warheads (that candy from the 90's) and I can't stop eating them even though I think they're gross. That was just a fun fact and doesn't really count.
#1 I am Heidi Jo Gilbert. Heidi means battlemaiden, and Gilbert is French. When I moved out to Valencia for school, I was driving through Saugus and found a street called Heidi Jo Lane! It was even spelled the right way! That's what my profile pic is.
#2 I am a twin! I have a fraternal twin brother, named Nick, who was born 45 minutes after me. Which makes me older and wiser. But I believe that my twin in spirit would be Jennifer Hager. We even put the same exact shot in our student films with the same exact score over it!! Unbeknownst to both of us until a few months ago! Check it out. It's creepy (mine's the UNanimated one):
#3 I played soccer year-round from the first grade until I graduated high school. In high school I played on the varsity team as outside halfback all 4 years. And I was captain of the team my senior year! This explains why I completely suck at basketball.
#4 Also in high school, I was nominated for homecoming queen- but I lost.
#5 I'm a sore loser. And I hate Stacey Niesicowski.
#6 I didn't get into CalArts the first time I applied. So, to ensure my success, the second time I applied for character animation in the film school and graphic design in the art school. Thinking that if I could just get into the building I could just transfer to the animation program. The scheme was flawed. But I got into both and happily turned down graphic design.
#7 The World Meteorological Organization names hurricanes each year by alternating between boys and girls names. Starting with the letter A and moving down the alphabet until they run out of hurricanes to name for the year. It's been my secret wish, ever since I learned this, that they would name the "H" hurricane, "Hurricane Heidi." Every other year I get my hopes up. This year the "H" hurricane was set to be a girls name....They named it Hannah. Whatever Hannah!
Here are the suckers I'm going to tag!
Chacon, Michelle
Hager, Jennifer
Lee, Minkyu
Linton, Mike
Molina, Adrian
Peterson, Eric
Treiman, Lissa
