walking back from the pub

always seem to be doing walk cycles, me.

who's he? what's he up to?

don't know. not a lot.

gencat ad

Here's an ad i've recently been working on at Aardman. There's 5 of them altogether and they've been turning up on the blogs of Felix, Robin and Spencer so i thought i'd put my favourite up too.

This ones about recycling if you don't understand Spanish.

I did storyboard and block through, Tom Evans animated, Spencer Cross After Effectsed and Tim Ruffle directed.



Here's another one - same bunch of people, animated by me and Tom - use public transport!

alex lupo music showreel

Alex, the Rumpus (and many other things) musician, now has his music showreel up on youtube. have a look.

julian sweeney and his teeny weeny genie

sc01 unused animation test

went and recorded some music yesterday which was great. its been so long since starting and recording that i've changed a load of stuff - like this original start to the film below - its not there anymore. so its here instead.

more stills

Rumpus really is going very very slowly. got some more pics from it though.

Julian

an animation test for a collaboration project between me and Seb from Spabbyland about a miserable little chap and his genie

octopus

here's a happy, if slightly evil, looking octopus that i made. i quite like him, wonder if i can crowbar him into the film somewhere.

ringbinders

recently been working as animation goblin on Ringbinders for Aardman and Comedy Demon. Directed by Tom Parkinson who made the Adventures of Jeffrey!

Comedy Demon's embedding thing doesn't work for me properly and there's also an Alfa Romeo advert attached which i'm not a massive fan of. so here's the trailer instead, which i had almost nothing to do with. You can watch the film here though if you like - http://www.comedydemon.com/video/?vid=11491

by the way, notice the lovely title music done by Rumpus' very own Alex Lupo!

stills

might be a bit soon as there's another 4 and half minutes of animation to do yet but here's a couple of pics of the first section of film

toys!!

we've all got toys these days and now i'm no different! here's two, sat on some bricks in my garden, that were very kindly made for me by Atsuko and it wasn't even my birthday. and here's some that she made for her hubby Seb.

running

he's running a bit more towards us now, other than that almost the same as him running from the side.

and some more

more board pics

not put anything up for ages so here's some board pics from my original pitch, they don't make an awful lot of sense. i've got rid of those several hundred butterflies now, there's only one left.
