Creative Computer Graphics

admin — Sun, 29 Aug 2010 09:30:43 +0000

I was in the Brick Lane market the other weekend and came across this book Creative Computer Graphics by Jankel and Morton, 1984. There’s some really interesting stuff in here, beyond just the “haha retro” kind of interesting (which is here too). And I love how it’s all photographs of CTR displays instead of just, you know, PrntScrn.

I love those mini drippy bits on the egg.

A sampling of my CG work, with my roles listed at the bottom. Much of it was done at guru studio, where I was an animator and 3D generalist.

Hazed

Hazed was originally my student film at Sheridan College, and then later at guru studio I led an awesome team in redoing the lighting, rendering and comping to make it better. Then we sent it out on its festival journey.

Back in London

admin — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 10:52:45 +0000

So Europe’s pretty cool. Museums, mountains, bonfires, buttresses, baby coots, bike polo and Pictoplasma—eye opening to say the least! And turns out castles really do exist after all. Funny being in buildings five times older than Canada.

And now after a few months on the road (or rather train tracks) I’m back in London for the time being, working on some fun stuff that I’ll hopefully be able to post soon. Still being a tourist when I can, though, and watching soccer football for the first time in my life.

A few sketches from the trip:

Well, I’m off to London for a little while, followed by some other places in Europe. I’m pretty excited. I want to see an old building. I don’t know if I’ll be able to post to this site, but maybe I can do twitter. We’ll see!

Birthday Bunnies

I made a little eCard animation over at JibJab (it’s the one at the top left called Birthday Bunnies) which was pretty fun to do, doodling rabbits and stuff. Everybody should send it to all their friends in honour of the late great James Doohan’s birthday today!

Finally posted some better shots of Sir Reginald’s Logbook. Thanks Emily! I also was cleaning up my drive and found a bit of old development artwork for Gesundheit! that I posted.
