Done for two friends of mine getting married in October. Done with Photoshop and Flash.

And an animated logo

Logos

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 00:44:00 +0000

While I'm at it, may as well post some of the logos I've worked on over the last few months. Some more successful than others, but still, another string to the bow! Dunno why the HAPM one is coming up shades of orange. It's meant to be blue! I'll fix at a later date.

Lara and Shane

A friend of mine is making a book for her boyfriend for Christmas. She asked for a cartoon of herself and himself wearing crowns, backpacks and magnets on their feet...? I don't ask, I just obey the brief. And here it is!

Animation Showreel Lite

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Thu, 06 Nov 2008 12:12:00 +0000

Here's the lite version of my showreel. Pared-down, cleaned up and streamlined. Because the other one was a little heavy...

Solar System

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 12:56:00 +0000

An expansion on the original Earth idea. Obviously it's not the complete Solar System. Only Neptune, Jupiter, Mars and Earth. But you get the general idea. Used CC Sphere, fractal noise, Trapcode Particular, CC Particle and other bits and bobs. Doesn't look great here, but in High def.... slightly better....

Earth Rotation

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 08:26:00 +0000

Something I whipped up in After Effects the other night. It uses CC Sphere, fractal noise and some other little tweaks and effects. Quite a spiffy result considering I just used a regular old map of the earth! Good old Video Copilot and it's array of wonderful tuts!

After Effects test

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 10:18:00 +0000

Been messing about with my favorite new program of all time, Adobe After Effects. Just arse-boxing around with Particle World, and following tutorials from the wonderful site, Video Copilot. Took a photo of a courtyard at the back of the Boulder Media building and applied some effects to it. God, how I love After Effects.

I'm on the nets!

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 12:16:00 +0000

My website's finally up and running. It's not much, just a portfolio, really. But it's a beginning, and shall be redesigned, reimagined and reposted in the future. For now though...

The Bear And The Boy

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 17:48:00 +0000

Completed in 2003, this is an animated short I created as part of my final year in college. The backgrounds are kinda weak and the animation is... dodgy, but it's a complete film! It'd be a whole lot different if I'd known then what I know now!

...And my actual showreel

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Fri, 11 Jul 2008 14:57:00 +0000

My showreel, containing animation from college and my first 4 years in the industry. Includes work from Cartoon Network's Forster's Home For Imaginary Friends, and Nickelodeon's El Tigre. Music by The Go! Team.

Showreel Titles

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:47:00 +0000

The end titles for my showreel. Created them using Adobe After Effects, a wonderful program I've been getting my head around recently. It really is a great program! For tutorials, check out Video Copilot.

Robot Bear expanded

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 15:24:00 +0000

Here's another quick sketch I did. Based on the robot design I did before, but a little less cartoony... for a robot bear!

Batman

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 09:49:00 +0000

Something I was messing about with t'other day. Mignola-inspired (thanks Jamie) Batman

Christmas Ad

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 09:49:00 +0000

Let me explain... every year, my clan gathers for a battle royale between the five families. This year, part of the competition was to produce an ad for mince meat using any medium we like. This, is my effort.

Lidia & Sam

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 22:28:00 +0000

Just a quick drawing I did in flash of my godson, Sam and his mommy, Lidia!

Boulder Blog entry #4- The Thinker

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Thu, 06 Sep 2007 08:50:00 +0000

This is my uncolored entry for the latest Boulder Blog theme- Scangers. Scangers, for those of you who don't know what they are, are a subculture of charming young folk in Dublin. They can be recognised by their thin, whispy facial hair, blood-shot, half closed eyes and pale complexion. They are typically adorned in tribal colors of Celtic jerseys and baseball caps perched at a 45 degree angle, covering approx. half of their beached hair. Known for their valuable contribution to society, small groups of scangers can be seen wandering the streets with cans of Dutch Gold in their hands, pointing out the quirks and foibles of any passer by. When travelling in larger packs, scangers are known to have a sudden surge of patriotic pride, a pride that paradoxically results in the destruction of the country the 'love' so well.

This be my god sonny, Sam. Born on the 9th August this year, he came into the world an 11lb 11oz little monster! This be a little sketch I did of him the other day. Head's a little long compared to how it actually is, but for better or worse, this is him!

MASCOT PREP (2007)

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Fri, 10 Aug 2007 09:50:00 +0000

Here's another short we worked on for the Disney Shorty McShort's Shorts program. This one, entitled Mascot Prep was completed in April... or was it May....?

REM @ The Olympia 2007 # 2

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 20:55:00 +0000

Some more photos!

REM @ The Olympia 2007

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Tue, 03 Jul 2007 20:52:00 +0000

REM performed over 5 nights this week as a sort of performing rehearsal before recording their new album here in Dublin. I was one of the lucky... thousands to get a ticket to one of these extraordinary, intimate shows in Dublin's Olympia Theatre. Here are some of the photos I got of Michael, Mike and Peter rocking out to give us one of the greatest live experiences I've ever been at.

Boulder Blog entry #3- HAL 9000

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Thu, 28 Jun 2007 22:54:00 +0000

I'm afraid. I'm afraid, Dave. Dave, my mind is going. I can feel it. I can feel it. My mind is going. There is no question about it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I can feel it. I'm a... fraid. Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you.

Here's my entry for the third of the Boulder Blog themes, 'Favorite Film Scenes.' 2001: A Space Odyssey is my favorite movie, so here's HAL, the homicidal computer, made through Macromedia Flash. Just something I did to see how close I could get it to the actual HAL.

Robot bear

petey2006@gmail.com (Peter Slattery) — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 09:02:00 +0000

Here's a character I've been messing about with for a while now. It's for a short I've been mulling over about a couple of animals who escape from a laboratory. The rest, I'm keeping to myself for now!
