My Interview at ArtoftheTitle.com
Monday, February 22nd, 2010
I was contacted in January, asked if i’d be interviewed for ArtoftheTitle.com regarding my title sequence for John Carpenter’s ‘The Thing’. Of course i accepted, it’s one of my favourite design sites and i often visit when i’m in a slump looking for reference and inspiration from all the great title sequences that exist.
I’m really blown over by it, it’s great motivation to continue doing what i’m doing. I hope one day to be half as good as some of the prior interviewees which includes Kyle Cooper and Danny Yount, which are prime inspiration for me choosing Motion Graphics as a focus in the first place.
Check it out the interview here.
The Thing Video at Qemic is here.

The Thing in design book.
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010
I had quite a nice surprise last week when i was looking through the latest issue of Computer Arts, it was an advert for this book, and it had my name on it so i thought, ‘I’ll get that’.
I think it’s pretty cool, first time i’ve been in a book. Check it out here.
Here’s a link to the video, if you haven’t already seen it. Click here.

Dancing Still
Saturday, January 2nd, 2010
Just had some fun playing around with some photos and the animation tools in photoshop. I really enjoyed making this, i think in the past i’ve cared too much about what happens next in a video, will it look good etc… which makes me loose sight of when i used to have fun making videos not worrying about that sort of thing. This blog as lackluster-y updated as it is something i love to do, and hate not doing, i’m going to try and find the fun again and post more with out the stress of thinking it’s crap.
This year’s gonna be the most important of my life, i’m really producing alot lately, whether it be writing, drawing or making videos and music, i’m creating more than i ever have, i just haven’t been showing it. I’m saving alot for the film. saving the good songs and the ideas i’m happy with, but it’s great to come back here and vent some content that just flowed rather than carefully planned.
Happy New year all!

The Film

A little History
Ok, so some people here may already know that i’m currently writing a script for a film that i intend to make and complete in the next few years. Although at the moment, i don’t want to give to much information about it away, as i’m still developing new ideas and avenues as i’m writing, i have a name which i’m also happy with and will reveal that later too.
I’ve been planning on doing this since the last year of college (4 years ago now) and has been a bit of a pipe dream all my life. But now, it’s happening and i’m really pumped and focused on it (it’s one of the main reasons that the site’s been so quiet as i’ve been prepping research for the project, it was also the reasoning behind starting up the drawing blog to get some, digital drawing practice a year beforehand).
What?
What i can tell you at the moment it that:
- It’s going to be a full-feature length movie.
- It’s going to be completely animated.
- And i’m going to do pretty much everything myself
on weekends, including music (will have help with dialogue of course).
I’m not going to post much more on the film for a while, at least until i’m at the end of the writing stage and am entering the design/production stage. In time the film will have it’s own site, and production diaries, not completely unlike ProjectPedal.com. But until then if you’re interested in knowing more, i’d love you to fill out the form below to subscribe to the newsletter (you wont get any confirmation emails or anything like that), and in a few months i’ll send you a packed email full of info, schedule and stuff like that.

Digital Artist Awards 2009
Thursday, November 19th, 2009
Just wanted to quickly write a little blog about this…before too much time has gone by and it’s then weird.
A few months back i submitted three of my videos the Digital Artist Awards 2009 competition as advertised in Computer Arts magazine.
I managed to get third in the world for my ‘The Thing Title Sequence‘ in the Motion Broadcast. It was pretty cool as i had no clue of my chances. 1st place went to Ben Davies of ‘The Neighbourhood. It was nice seeing my name in Computer Arts again too, as it was a magazine i regularly referred to for inspiration in college and university.
The ceremony was held at Blackall Studios London – it was really cool to see alot of great work up there from graphic design to illustration and was also nice to see screenshots of my video framed on the wall and it looping in rotation on a video display. Makes me want to be better.
I’d like to enter again next year if i make something better.
