More animated Dingoes (for the company that has a Dingo as its logo). This was based on artwork supplied.

Ruff Graphics

An old style 'movietone news' animation for an intro to a segment in a corporate video.

Life Drawing....again....

A new post...at last...or to put it another way...who cares? Just a couple of life drawing sketches this time around. 

Also an animation I did late last year for the agency handling the Liberals campaign in NSW. Now being the sort of bloke who tends to dress to the left, I was a little hesitant about this project. But I figured Labor in NSW was screwed anyway and it was one of those rare paying gigs

Liberal Party Ad from Pete Mullins on Vimeo.

I was proud of my animated flies...basically a sort of 21/2 D solution. They then asked for the maggots, which I felt was 'gilding the lily' somewhat, but I guess they really wanted to ram home the message.

Anyway, despite my early misgivings it actually turned out to be a fun animation to work on.

Wet, wet, wet.

Offshore Superboats Opener from Pete Mullins on Vimeo.

Here on the eastern seaboard of Australia it has now rained constantly for over two months. I live in what used to be known as the 'Sunshine State'. Pretty soon we'll all have to start using boats instead of cars to get around.

Ok, that was a really dumb attempt to make this latest post relevant in any way...

I did the graphics for this show over a year ago now. I was happy with the way I intergrated 3D from Maya into After Effects. I love the way you can directly import 3D information from Maya into AE via the .ma file extension. At the time I think I was only just exploring the possibilties, now it's standard practice for me.

Weird, Whacky and er...Whacky

Weekender Special Opener from Pete Mullins on Vimeo.
This was done for a special 'Queensland Weekender' (one of the lifestyle programs made by my company). The program featured 'colourful' characters and events. It had to be turned around fairly quickly, so I didn't have much time to add too many elements.
I used Maya and After effects.

The Adventures of Toilet Door Man

career video from Pete Mullins on Vimeo.

This was a 30 second commercial advertising a Career Expo here in Brisbane. I thought using the 'universal symbol' man would be a good way of representing a non-gender specific member of the public. It was all pretty much created and animated in After Effects with only a couple of elements (paper plane etc) coming from Maya.

I had about a 3 day budget on the project. I created a very rough storyboard which I cut to the voice-over to give the client a fairly accurate idea of how the TVC would play out. That seemed to work very well.
The audio on this version is a temp track without effects.

...Flying Logo Friday

Trophy animation from Pete Mullins on Vimeo.
I always liked the glass finish on this one. Fairly quick turnaround (aren't they all) using Maya and After Effects.

Monday Mornin' dinos...

Troodon_forest from Pete Mullins on Vimeo.
This was one of my favourite shots. It had the CG dinos, the miniature tree and foreground foliage as well as comped background stuff. really nicely animated by Bevan Lynch.

Things to Come...

Future Bris B from Pete Mullins on Vimeo.

'Things to Come' is an old movie I have always wanted to see in its entirety...hmmm...maybe Youtube...

I really can't remember why I had to create this. Photoshop, Maya and After Effects were the tools of choice once again. It's the standard... 'like those Hollywood movies except with a two day budget' scenario.

I think it went at the end of a quasi-historical documentary about transportation in Queensland. You know the last line is: ' What does the future hold?...'
or 'Where will it end? Perhaps Artoo, it will never end.'
That sort of thing....insert nerd alert here.
