What...March already??!!@!

This was done over a year ago as a part of an overall concept proposal. It was felt that a comic book feel would best convey the background story.

 

Colorado

More After Effects fun. Basically I as given a bunch of stills of shoes and a one day deadline to produce two TVCs. This was the the result.

...2012 Life Drawing

Well a Happy New Year! (albeit a little late).
I went back to life drawing after a couple of months away. It was pouring rain and I had arrived 40 minutes late, so I wasn't expecting much from the night. The weird thing was once I got the pencil and paper out I felt utterly focused and kinda breezed through the session.
Man, I wish I knew what the secret formula for that was!!!

Ipswich City Council

This is one of a series of TVCs advertising the virtues of the the city of Ipswich.
They were all completed entirely in After Effects. I do so love that program!!

More Dinosaurs

I've been neglecting this poor old blog lately...oops...Anyway here's a dino animation I cobbled together from bits and pieces for one of the local shows. As always there was no budget. The main sauropod was actually a bit of 2D animation.

History Alive

I've posted before about the History Alive weekend that takes place out at Fort Lytton during winter. This time I took the 550d along to try my hand at getting some cool action shots. Man it was hard. You couldn't really get close enough to the action and my 18 - 135 lens just wasn't long enough.So a fair bit of it is a bit shake-arama...

Still I had fun editing and grading it.

I'm baaaack!!

It has been months since I've posted....ouch. I've been playing around with a camera stabiliser for the Canon 550D. Initially it didn't work very well. I discovered that the 550 was simply too light for the stabiliser. After adding some extra weight to the camera end of things, it seems to perform much better.

This is the stabiliser I ended up buying:
