I recently won a contest over at Tongal in a new format they’ve created. This contest was only open to pitches from the top 100 members of Tongal (based off of previous winnings). I was 42nd at the time I submitted my pitch but now I should jump up a couple spots. They haven’t announced [...]
Animation Reel
Used Maya, Nuke, Zbrush, After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere shot_01: From my student short film “Growing Up.” I’m responsible for everything in this shot. shot_02: Responsible for all animation, lighting, rendering. Rig is the “Eleven” built by the 11 sec club community. This is my 15th place finish entry into the February 2012 11 Second [...]
11-sec Club – Emergency Exit
I placed 15th out of 189 entries in February’s 11 Second Club competition. This was my second time entering this contest, last time I placed 18th. The voting period is always at the beginning of every month and on a scale of 1-11. It’s usually a fairly tight competition: if I had only .5 more [...]
Growing Up – Animated Short Film
One intense year of study has come to a close as I have graduated Vancouver Film School and completed my animated short film ‘Growing Up!’ I hope the message of the short film is clear and that it resonates with some people. I could not have completed this project without the help of my classmates, [...]
11-sec Club – Leftover Thursdays
[Update: I placed 18th out of 202 entries] Fresh out of VFS and I was anxious to keep working! It’s like an addiction! I was talking to my classmates that we should start a support group for recent graduates, ha! You get so accustomed to going to school every day and working, it’s tough to [...]
Dorito’s Crash the Super Bowl
I’m at it again with another contest video and this is the sixth year Doritos has ran this competition and it is the most well-known and competitive contest all year! Why? Because 1 million dollars and Super Bowl-level exposure is at stake! In addition, this year they are adding the opportunity to create a commercial [...]
Video | Walk, React, Run
Term 4 has come to an end at Vancouver Film School and I wanted to post an animation we have been working on during this last term. The goal was to have a character walk on screen, react to something, and then run off. My take on it was a guy trying to catch a [...]
Run Cycle With Jump
Completed in Term 3 (of 6) at Vancouver Film School’s 3D Animation and VFX program. The assignment was to do a run cycle with a jump in the middle. I wanted to make it more interesting so I took a wing rig from Digital Tutors and attached it to the Norman rig to help him [...]
Stylized Walk
Completed in Term 3 (of 6) at Vancouver Film School’s 3D Animation and VFX program. The assignment was to come up with your own kind of ‘stylized’ walk:
Video | 3rd Place and Animation Assignments
After reading Graham Taylor’s keynote speech from LA’s Film Fest, this is me taking the time to blog, which I should be doing more. The biggest news from me recently is I placed 3rd and won $3,800 in the Brisk Tea animation contest. I created this animation concurrent with my school assignments so I didn’t [...]
Video | Contests . . .
I’ve taken quite a long hiatus from entering video contests after not making the finals, or placing, in about one dozen contests last year. The whole crowdsourcing and contest-entering thing can get pretty old pretty quick. It’s great practice but I definitely needed a break and scale back how many I was entering. But, with [...]
Blog | Term 2 Completed VFS
