In an unforseen error with my server, I've been unsuccessful in updating my portfolio on the website. This here blog is my back-up!

First up, we have some old classical 2d exersises starting with the flour sack http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_O9LOaDeqvg
a water splash http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5SEwLzcLzk
a flapping cape http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV8u3ztzAMQ
and finally some lip synch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Ksdg0n57as (dialog taken from Fight Club)

A while back I took part in the 11 second club challange where you're given an 11 second sound clip to animate to. I believe the voices are Dan Aykroyd and Sidney Poitier. Here's what I came up with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkVOTjJ2AVc

If anybody's familiar with 48 hour film challanges, you'll know its when you're given a theme, a few lines/ props/ locations and 48 hours to make a short film using all of the above.

In 2009, we were given the theme "Everything Old is New Again" where my friends and I came up with Coyote Bob - a resturant with a twist! It's still quite incomplete in terms of animation, but a wierd leica is a terrible thing to waste! Enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5JJXrP3Ao4
In 2010, our theme was bio diversity and we made Young Boys Experimenting in High School. Again, incomplete in terms of animation as we had only 48 hours to create everything from scratch, but a complete leica which we hope to turn into something beautiful real soon. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAM7AZ0jjdw

Next up is my "pride and joy" called A Light Obstical. This short film one a couple of local awards and can be seen (in low res) the Comedy Network's website under random. It can also be seen right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RtSFxNkgYI Music updated Feb 2011

Finally, here's a local band called Subtaerialus that I had the pleasure of producing 2 albums with. Check out their myspace to see what we came up with http://www.myspace.com/subtaerialus

On a side note, the same team that created Young Boys is currently working on a pilot called Soul Traders. It's a dark animated comedy about how death is not the final chapter. Check back soon for updates on that!

Untill next time...

Audio Update!

2009-11-30T00:16:00.000-08:00

Here's an update on my audio demo reel. So far there's 3 different categories being put together; film, game & music.

The film section consists of a clip from 'Seashells, Picture Frames and Coffee Beans' by Katherine Cox. All sound in the following scene has been re-done using Logic Pro including outdoor ambiance, Foley & ADR. Enjoy!

The game section includes 4 loops made in Wwise. Some Logic Pro and Adobe Soundbooth also used

Music Section includes samples of songs mixed mostly in Pro Tools & Logic Pro (analog & digital mixers with outboard gear also used), as well as midi samples done in various midi software

Updates comming soon to my website!
