DUCKS

"A perfectly normal day in the park" I made this short film last year and have finally released it online. The music and audio were created by the incredibly talented Megalithic Sound (https://www.instagram.com/megalithicsound) and everything else was created by me (AJ Jefferies) This was a completely self-initiated, self-funded film so if you enjoy it please share it with other people! And if you REALLY enjoyed it and would like to support me to make more things like this, you can buy me a coffee here https://ko-fi.com/moonjam

H O R SE I made a short film! It’s about a horse, struggling to exist

Here’s a really fun project I worked on toward the end of last year.  MTV WCS approached me and asked if I could create a 15 second ident for them. I had complete creative freedom to do what I wanted, it just had to exude the emotion ‘Happy’ and follow this colour scheme. I also did the sound design & voiced the little creatures. So much fun!

It’s Monster Project time again! This is my 4th year taking part in this wonderful project, which pairs school kids with professional artists to create a horde of magical monsters. This year my brilliant Monster collaborator was Reagan, from Austin, Texas. I hope she likes my take on her magnificent creation! Be sure to check out the other 99 amazing monsters here https://themonsterproject.org/monster-gallery/

I was fortunate enough to be one of a series of artists tasked to illustrate their take on one of the characters from the excellent Tekken 7. I picked Kuma, as he's been a firm favourite of mine since the first Tekken on PS1. Plus, he slaps people with a giant salmon. SALMON! Here’s a turntable too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3yiSBU_Bis

I animated my Trump dispenser. First time playing with fluid dynamics in a long while. Really impressed with how far Phoenix FD has come.

This was the monster I had for this year’s Monster Project, a fantastic project that teams up school kids and artists, creating a whole bunch of monsters. It’s always such an incredibly fun thing to be part of and this year was no different. Be sure to check out all of the monsters from this year’s kids/artists here http://themonsterproject.org/monster-gallery/ I’ve also added a little video showing a timelapse of the detailing pass in Zbrush.
