Decided as I haven't updated this thing in 13 months, I'd bombard it with images tonight. Nothing spectacular! Just some sketches and drawings from some of my notebooks. These go from about 3 years ago, right up to today.
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.
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!
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....
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!
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.
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...
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!
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.
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.
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.
