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...
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...
Blog | Term 2 Completed VFS
The second, of 6 terms, at VFS are complete and you can see some of the major assignments I completed in the video on this page. Some of the assignments not included in the video are: - life drawing: I might post individual drawings later, but once a week we had a 3...
Photos | The Sky Gods Smiled On Me Today
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...
VFS Term 2 update
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...
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...
Video | Bungee Jumping Whistler in Slow Mo
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...
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...
Video | 2 New Hang Gliding Videos
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...
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...
