Botanical gardens

The Brisbane Botanic Gardens are my sanctuary from the dimly lit, windowless room I have at work. The gardens are especially glorious at the moment. I try and go for walk through them most lunch times.
I thought I would try out the Konova 'slider' I bought last year. It's a great bit of kit, a real joy to operate.
Oh, and the music is from the sublime Sheila Chandra, Beautiful, haunting track.

Moreton Region TVCs

A couple of vids from me. Oops, once again, I've been MIA on this blog. The first vid here is one of a number of TVCs my company did for a local council. What was great about this project was that we extensively story boarded the ads knowing that the concept had to pass the approval process of a twelve seat council. Amazingly it all went really well with very little problems. The floating bits of the logo were animated in Lightwave and comped in After Effects.

This was done as an opener to one of the many Corporate DVDs we my company has produced Queensland Rail.

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.
