July 2009 Public Reel

Well it's been a while since I've posted, just got back from Barcelona and am still currently on the hunt for jobs. BUT got clearance to show some test creature work I did, so hopefully you'll enjoy having a look at the two new snake sequences in the reel.



I was given a pretty free rein on this by my old boss Andy Morley and producer Stef Drury, so picked the backplate film for the python to work on, and how to animate the cobra. Good times recording scary snake voices into the Apple Mac!

April 2009 Public Showreel

Hi, so here's the public show reel I'm going to be handing around. I've also got another reel for interviews containing all of the character animation work I did on Solomon Kane which hopefully I'll be showing as well at some stage!

All in all just a bit of tightening on the old reel.
