Hey look, animated stuff.

I know it's only been 8 months since my last post but call me anxious, I didn't wanna wait till 9. The show's already been launched in the UK and soon (I think) over on this side of the planet. There's a few promos and commercials out there with a handful of shots I animated, *cough* barrel roll jump *cough* so I suppose you could take a look.

2nd Year?

Was clearing out some space in one of my closets, found this collecting dust. Ohh the memories... back in the day when you painted with paint, how long ago it was.

It was time

Time to finally finish the site up which was sitting there 90% unfinished for quite some time.

Click on the HD button on the side, takes you to Vimeo's site but makes a huge difference... trust me. =)

Ohhh the memories, painful, painful memories...

So I was cleaning up my jam packed computer and in some deep, deep, deep, hidden and locked dark folders I found this. Dedicated to those special few who I know miss this project DEEPLY.

A Quick Shot Breakdown

Been getting a few questions as to how I went about doing some scenes so I just put together a short clip of two scenes and shows you guys the different layers I used in my new life partner, After Effects.

Wait, what... is that an update?

Had a nice nap that lasted a few months, nothin like a good nap.

Demo Reel '08

With everyone freaking out and working like crazy over finishing super awesome demo reels for the Internships, I can now at last reduce it down to just freaking out and drop the 'working like crazy part'! My Demo Reel for 07-08'!

Pulled a sketch out, felt the need to colour!


Will post as it progresses (if it does).

WoW Signatures..

Yes....that's right, you heard me. World of Warcraft. I figured I'd show some of these signatures I've made for some friends characters.

Pullin out some old stuff

This has nothin to do with our course, just thought I'd show some things from back in the day in highschool.

This is a recreation of a WB background I saw in a book. It seems I can only enjoy using gouache when painting flat colours. Ah well.

Head Rotation and Lip Sync

This is my head rotation and lip sync assignment of Prince John from Disney's animated feature 'Robin Hood'

The Wizard Man on a Chair

This is a project I started a whiiiile ago. I haven't touched it in months, no time anymore. Anyway, essentially it's a robed man sitting in a chair with overly dramatic lighting. [the name is a work in progress]

This was for a Fundies class I had last year while we studied the theories of evolution and what not. My first ever cg piece, pretty happy with how it came out considering
