Big Tree City Animation Reel
Back in 2021 I had the great honour of joining Blue Zoo as a Lead Animator on Season 1 of their IP, Big Tree City.All together, I think I animated a full 10 minutes for the series, so instead of showcasing it all, I have compiled a reel of my favourite shots and sequences. One thing that really drew me to the project (besides it being the mighty BZ) was just how beautiful the production looked!…

Animation Graduate Advice, Pt1.2 - Learn What They Do
Animation Graduate Advice, Pt1.2 – Learn What They Do
Learn the Software …if you need to, anyway. Once you have found a studio you’re excited to work for, have a look at what software they use and start learning it! My first animation job used 3Ds Max. Having just completed three years learning Maya, I was dropped into a software completely alien to me. I needed to retrain my mind, and I did it all at the cost of my employer.That’s not a good…

Two Headed Animation
So for a few months throughout 2020, I had the privilege to work with Derek Friesenborg (Moana, Frozen, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs) on a personal project he had been working on for a while. I joined several other very talented animators to help bring the animation to life, taking a short, 16 second section and running with it! Above is a proxy render I did of the final 16 seconds. As you…

Lockdown and Up Skill - Part 2
Lockdown and Up Skill – Part 2
Hello Everybody! So I managed to go a head and do my second write up of the things I have learned as I have tried to Up-Skill my animation game throughout Lockdown. In the Lockdown and Up Skill Part 1, I discussed the concepts of Leading and Following body parts, Separation of body parts, and the use of reference and drawovers. I based these comments around my first AnimSquad assignment – Overmine.

Lockdown and Up Skill – Part 1
Hey guys! I hope you are all doing well, especially through these unprecedented times. I really hope that you have all been able to be fruitful during lockdown, and as for me, I would like to share a couple of animation things that I have learned through this period. Before Lockdown started, I had made plans to learn as much as I could and develop my skills as an animator. I had purchased Yuri…

Happy New Year, Everybody!
I hope that 2020 brings you all many blessings and much joy, coz – let’s face it – it would be wrong to start a new year holding on to any negativity caused by the year just gone.
The start of 2020 heralds in a large change for me. At the end of 2019, (and I mean the very end), I made the decision to quite my full-time, permanent position to pursue Freelance work.…

Spooky Animorsels Animation! Pt2 Character(s)!
Spooky Animorsels Animation! Pt2 Character(s)!
Good Morning all!
So in my last post I talked about setting the mood and the atmosphere for my Animorsels piece, This included a lot of modelling, lighting and rendering, as well as a jaunt down particle lane. I cam up with something I was really pleased with, but this scene, as a single package, was not the aim – the theme was ‘Monster’ and as of yet, this was something my scene was lacking.

Spooky Animorsels Animation! Pt1 – Ambiance and Setting
Hey guys!
So recently I have put the finishing touches to a short animation I have been working on over the past month or so. Or at least, that is, the first 20 seconds of it. You see, the piece is entered as part of an Animorsels challenge, and they only want to see 20 seconds of work. My aim is to make the final piece about a minute in length, so yeah, still got a lot to do on it.
That…

Animorsels, NaNoWriMo and some Drawings
Hey guys!
So it has been a little while since I have added anything to this blog… well, let’s just say it’s not because I have been lazy.
NaNoWriMo
After a while focusing on spending each morning animating, I then turned my attention to a bit of writing; spending my early mornings doing some writing exercises. But at the moment my concentration is focused on one thing; NaNoWriMo.

Family Holiday One Page RPG
Family Holiday One Page RPG
So this past week I have been on holiday with my family. It was a really great time with my parents and sister (and bro-in-law). We ate some amazing food, drank some amazing wine and saw some amazing sights.
And, like all family vacations, it had it’s fare share of conflict.
It’s true to say that every family member has their pros and their cons, their quirks and their virtues – I am no…

A Photo from a Friend
So the other day, a good friend I worked with at Sumo sent me a photo of my old desk, empty and deserted, screens blank, wacom un-loved. It was a kind gesture, one that said ‘we miss you, dude’, a sentiment that I share.
And so I sent him a photo of my desk at NSC Creative, with my Intuos, Cintique and… Oculus Rift headset.
This, not surprisingly, sparked off a bit…

LOL Cinematic Animation Exercise Part 1
Morning All!
So recently I have finished a short personal project; an animation based on one of Riot Game’s League of Legends Cinematics. A New Dawn was released in 2014, when I was still a young and impressionable CG generalist exploring a career as an animator. Needless to say, the animation blew my mind, and these sort of high-end cinematics have always been an inspiration to me.
Recently I…

After a long day of work, and an hour and a half commute home, the last thing you want to do with your evening is do more work. So I did this during my lunch breaks.
Wow. It’s been a while since I have posted a new animation on here… In fact the last animation I posted was this post from July last year! Does this mean I have been slacking? well… yeah… I suppose so.
A lot has changed over the last…
