October 2008 Showreel

So here it is, my new showreel with the Animal Planet and Hellboy 2 stuff on there. There wll be an update as soon as the Solomon Kane character animation I did becomes available!

Hellboy 2 and Animal Planet

Hi folks I can't get this stuff on embedded direct, as I'm waiting for DVD release on Hellboy 2 so the best I can do for now is the bold links below!

HELLBOY 2 SHOWREEL
(spears, blade, character roto and dust animation in the second half of the reel)

ANIMAL PLANET SHOWREEL
(dog, meerkat, shark and lettering animation)

We've also finished Solomon Kane at Lip Sync Post too, but again it's gonna be a while before that shows up, but hopefully soon I'll have (YET!) another reel up ready for my next batch of jobs apps.








I've had an awesome time again at LipSync so once again cheers to Andy and Stef for trusting my animation skills enough to let me loose on their work, the rest of the 3D Boys and everybody else who had to queue behing me for peanut butter on toast in the kitchen.




"Dust, people, dust!!!!"

New Showreel May 2008

Here's my new showreel then:-



Can't put most of the stuff I've actually done over the past 7 weeks on it, but hopefully one day will become available to you the general public.

Cobra Strike

Well, here it is the cobra strike.



Props out (in the words of Westwood and big Trev Nelson) to Andy Morley at Lipsyncpost for giving me the opportunity to animate there, James Nichols for doing the modeling and texture mapping and showing me how to assign UV texture maps (can't wait to see the final model when the texturing is finished), and Jon Wood for the lighting, spotlights rule and good to see my T2 lighting toned down slightly.

And her's a few stills from the sequence:-







So, there you go a work in progress looking OK.

Cheers guys.

Car crash test

Been away for a while as I've been doing an internship / some freelance work at Lip Sync Post in London. It's been pretty busy (well as busy as you can be when your machine is rendering - so many cups of tea), working on a variety of things including Hellboy 2, a cobra animation for the company showreel, and this.

It's just a quick test sequence for a girl basically being hit by a car in a street scene, just to see what it might look like. Know it probably doensn't look amazing, but it's more of a blockamatic almost, but taught me how to basic texture, and got me used to planning shots and working with cameras.



Anyhow I'll stick up the rest once it's available, had some technical issues with fcheck Tiff's. So and sos.

Sorry folks had to delete this due to copyright stuff! Peas out.
