I will still be posting up on this blog with work, but I've created the website for professional reasons

New showreel video

Here's my new showreel in all its glory

A new showreel!!

At last, after a couple of months of continued animating and late nights after work I have a new showreel. It is currently uploading now and I shall follow up this post with a link to view. I've added 3 new animations to the reel and cut out some of my weaker pieces and those that are irrelevant to my specialism and so now I have a pure animation reel. This doesn't mean the work has stopped, I've already started another piece to add to my reel, another lip sync piece to be precise so watch this space!

So here's my latest animation.

Idea behind it is that an intruder's plan backfires on himself. It took me a couple of weeks in my spare time from start to finish and I'm happy with how its turned out and think that it will compliment my showreel quite well. Some of the animation at parts could have been better but the overall animation is an improvement

New Animation

Ok so its been a while since my last post and the plan was to go off and do some more animating. So that's what I did! My latest one is uploading to vimeo now so there will be a link shortly and work has started on another piece of work. I think two or three more pieces and a brand new showreel will be ready

Eurogamer

Went to eurogamer last friday and saturday to try out some up and coming games. Also mainly to see if I could have someone look at my showreel for advice. I got it! spoke to a couple of lead artists from the creative assembly and they gave me some very valuable advice about my showreel. I need to re-edit it, as I've got some weak animation and bits that shouldnt be in there cancelling out the good stuff I have. Work needs to be done on it and more animating over the next few weeks with ideas already underway...

room so far

So this is how the room is looking at this moment in time. I wanted to go for a mid-afternoon lighting and still need to add some interior lighting. The sofa is from turbo-squid and the room is borrowed from my degree film Whack'd which Ive re-textured and shuffled some bits around. I wanted to add some geeky bits like sci-fi posters and a computer but not so sure it is needed. I'm about to start animating now so ill come back to the lighting in a bit
