Photos | The Sky Gods Smiled On Me Today

My second favorite moment.

Here are some of the images I took from my two hour flight today at Mount Woodside. It was a great little flight. Mainly ridge soaring. The highlights were playing in the clouds, watching a family of eagles fly around, flying around with them, seeing two eagles grab their talons and tumble together, and meeting [...]

VFS Term 2 update

Male musculature assignment

Since I’m over the hump of Term 2 I thought I’d take a second and show some screen captures on some of the work I’ve done and/or am still doing for this term which ends in another couple of weeks at which point I’ll have another video to show of all the work done over [...]

Video | Term 1 at VFS

The last two months have been legend . . . ary and I’ve really enjoyed my time at Vancouver Film School so far. Our second term, of six, begins Monday. The video below shows some of my work from the last two months. We’ve spent a lot of time drawing and in Maya. I’ve done [...]

Video | Our Containers

Seven years ago I was in a digital arts class, which I think was renamed to something else the next year, and probably no longer exists as quick as things move in that field. Anyways, I was determined to get something productive done. Since the instructor was struggling to teach us Flash, I grabbed a [...]

Video | Bungee Jumping Whistler in Slow Mo

[box]Since moving to Vancouver, I’ve been pretty busy with film school, drawing and learning some software, but as The Shining teaches us, all work and no play means you might chase people with an ax. So I needed to get outside and play. Luckily, a few of my classmates were eager to join me to [...]

Blog | Arrived in Vancouver

I’ve been in Vancouver for about a week now (earlier I blogged about my move here). I took a timelapse while I made the cross country drive. I thought I might as well since I’m driving that far. VFS is a great school so far. Each one of my instructors has worked on major films [...]

Video | 2 New Hang Gliding Videos

[facebook] [retweet] With the year coming to an end I decided to make a clean break from some footage, so before archiving it into oblivion, I wanted to make a video out of the footage I have yet to use. The first video is from this year’s Flytec race in Florida, and the second one [...]

Video | Sewanee Christmas

I’ve created several videos for Sewanee over the past year and they wanted something a little different than their typical slideshow of photos they do at year’s end. That’s when the idea for doing 2.5D animation came to mind. I’ve done it once before in a contest video that I did for Kiva.org (didn’t win [...]

Blog | Cool Stuff #22

Love ski films. Like climbing films they get my palms sweating and make me want to get outside. It’s cool to see a little bts on a warren miller shoot: Another ski one, with a speed wing, just awesome. I freaking know this guy! I’ve flown hang gliders with him several times. He actually has [...]
