Lost Son - Teaser Trailer

I am proud to reveal the trailer for a personal short film that I have been working on in my spare time.  It is written, directed and animated by myself so it is taking a while (4 months so far!) but it is a story about family, a journey, adventure and treasures that I really wanted to share.

Also here is a couple of exclusive stills for a sneak peek at some scenes not shown in the trailer. I will keep you posted on updates and the when(if) the film will be released / finished :)

Sim Card Escape - #TropVine 2015

Finally some update! :) This is a Vine I created for #tropvine and it got in to the top 20 this year again - http://www.tropfest.com/au/news/tropvine-top-20/

Lots of paper, sketches, drawings and cards were used to create my #TROPVINE #vine entry nominated in the Top20! Yay. #CARD #animation #framebyframe #tropfest #doodles

Jumpamon

Happy Easter! Jumpamon is has landed!

I had a bunch of videos of iconic locations on my iPhone from my travels around the world. I originally thought I could make a short movie out of them but they were very shaky, the handheld type of shots.

So I thought it could work better as a short animation with those videos as the background. Nothing more fun than designing a little monster destroying those cities! Well it was more fun rigging, animating and compositing this little fella in After Effects with the Duik tools. Voila! :)

The brief was to illustrate two persons and a cat from photos as steampunk characters!

Love Every Drop

OK... it has been ages since I last updated this blog :( . No excuses here, but I have really done a lot of travelling. I will try to catch up and have some posts about what I have been up to. First here are some animation snippets for a project that I helped out with.

Character Animations - Love Every Drop from Brian Neong San.

This was a collaboration with Round3 Creative and my role was specifically to redesign, illustrate and animate the water drops characters to be used in a set of educational animations. You can see below a few examples of the characters that were redesigned for an edgier look.
