Something I forgot...

When mentioning the Kakapos earlier I forgot to show you something I'm quite proud of...The Characters Model Sheets! *gasp* wow, incroyable! C'est vrai!




The idea was to tell the story of how Kakapos became extinct and these were the three main characters named after present day Kakapos. The end story turned into something completely different, but that's for another time. Honestly, look up Kakapos, look at how cool they are, learn how they're the world's only flightless parrot and how there's so few of them left that they all have names. It's crazy and these birds need all the help they can get, even though there's a really strong effort in New Zealand at the moment.

And so it goes...

I'm always applying for jobs that require me to use Flash, because it's a nice package and the only one available to me to animate in. But, that aside, these jobs I apply for...I hear nothing back. But when I do it's usually to demonstrate how I use Flash; recently I was asked to basically copy someone else's designs for a game, which I thought was a pretty poor way of conducting yourself if you're in a game making business...why would you copy something that's already out there to try and compete with it? What? A lot of people do this? Oh, I guess that's how the business works then...I'll just keep trying and applying.



Looking back at them I could've probably done better...but then I only did these in an hour or something...

eh, why not?

here's my showreel, not updated with awesome animations I am doing at the moment...they will be put in soon though.

wow, mate...

This one's kept me busy for aaaages...but animation is a slow process.



I've also been working on something else which will make an appearance once it's polished and done...you'll see...you'll all see!
