Look what I found!

My old college demo reel :)

BBC Motion Graphics

Last year I did some work for the BBC. It was an animated motion graphics segment for a television show focusing on English as a second language. I enjoyed it quite a bit and had the opportunity to work with well known industry names. Not only did I get to come up with, board and animate - I also directed the voice actors and put the segment together. 

Since it was a show focused on learning, I was advised to stay away from the flashy, slick type of motion graphics animation one sees in adverts. Rather the animation needed to occur very slowly for the viewer to register the lesson, and not be distracted by effects or images. 

I have added some music here different to what was used in the show, to liven it up a bit. Copyright DJ Cam.

A quick digital painting

One day I would like to have a little pond...and a garden to keep it in. 

Yoga

Never got into it myself, but people in yoga poses are quite fun to sketch.

Just messing about

So it seems as if the people at Adobe decided to get rid of the FPS editor in Photoshop CS6. CS5 had it, and then they put it back in CC. Does anyone know why? Thank goodness I had an old copy of CS5.5 lying around otherwise that would have been quite annoying. 

I love bees

Wasps not so much...

Aaand I'm back!

A post on the Zinc roe blog

I recently created a blog post on the Zinc roe blog regarding animation art styles for people who are not familiar with the animation world.
So a bit like a warm introduction into our world?
Apologies if I have gotten anything wrong. It was more of a geeky ramble then anything else.
Feel free to let me know what you think.
I know I didnt include even half of what I should have - but I had to compromise between geeking out and putting my readers to sleep. So I skimmed through the surface...
