new work up. 2 paintings I did for work, just some concepts. the third one i did for a friend of mine.

From random

I was hoping to have the two other paintings I'm working currently done by now, but I guess they'll have to wait till next time.

festivals, festivals, festivals

I am happy to announce, all be it a little late, that Parental Guidance has been accepted into the Teletoon Animation scholarship as well as the Student Shorts Animation Festival, but screening at the end of September. I want to thank both festivals for this honor, and congratulate the rest of my peers that have also been selected.

If you can make it to either or both screening I hope too see you there! :)

here's something I just finished for work. It's a Samsung J700 series phone for Rogers Wireless. Modeling done by Gabe Lopez and comps done by Dom Bochemski and Kyle Sim.

more images up in my gallery

i don't usually post up stuff like this just cuz there are probably a hundred places you could see it before you look here. But everyone should see this. It is everything a short film should be.

here is the permalink on motionographer

so in absence of a job some friends and I have decided to start a film. We're aiming for 2 minutes and it's going to be a 3D Maya centric pipeline.

here are some concpet environment paintings I've done for the project. The rest are up in my gallery.

so a couple people have asked me for a digital copy of my film so here it is. download it at your leisure. I can't host it streaming for festival/legal reasons.

Parental Guidance

so here is the streaming for those of you who don't like downloading. I'll leave the downloadable copy up for those of you who want a soft copy.

thanks to jessie for the site. :)

that was fast...

ok so I decided just to host the demo up for download until I find a video streaming site I like.

hitting theaters near you....

so it's been another 4 months... I've been busy what can I say. but I come bearing gifts

more screens from my film available in my gallery

i won't be able to host the film up because i plan to enter it into Teletoon and other festivals, but when i upload my new demo reel there are some clips of it there.
