RED!!

Holy moly, at work with a RED! What a mighty camera. :D

 

For this video project I'm in charge of supervising the green screen stuff which will make my work later in post much easier. :)

A bit of silly photoshop fun with some toys :D

Adding an explosive background and voila! :D


Gun flare and an overall bleach effect using levels and contrast controls.


Here's the original pic. Attempting my best Stallone face.
I stumbled across this toy from a cartoon series called Max Steel that my son and I have become quite hooked on.

Kit.

My humble kit for the last couple of years. A Canon 550D and a Macbook Air. I've been considering an upgrade but honestly, they have served me well, light to carry on my various motion graphics adventures, and I'm still amazed by what these things can do.
I tend to use an external monitor at the offices where I freelance. If a monitor isn't available I can hijack other Macs as a monitor with the thunderbolt cable. Handy dandy. :)

Worldmark Films

I'm currently working on some fun Monty Python inspired animations for Worldmark Films.
Cutting out lots of shapes in Photoshop and giving it what for in After Effects, bringing characters to life. Including a robot! :D






Character rigging! Parenting all the layers together. :)



Here's a screenshot of how the layers are parented to each other in After Effects. Very important to label everything!

Rwar!

Doing some sweet VFX for a werewolf film this week for Brainy Monkey Post Production! :D
Rotoscoping the actor out of the werewolf suit and adding spooky glowing eyes.


Things got tricky when the branches were in the way..
