Just completed Drowning Pool's Enemy Video. Can check it out here This has been a tricky one. Because of the budget only the 2 of us have been able to do it and it had to be completed within the month! Our set up has been 3d characters cell shaded, 2d backgrounds which were mainly hand tracked for that loose quality and also quite a bit of rotoscoping of the shadows to give it a more organic feel... There's been a lot of hand tracked elements added (explosions, fire, lamps, etc.) and plenty of depth of field. We would have loved to have cut this quicker - but hey!

Drowning Pool Enemy USA version now completed... In HD for MTV.... New features include - new colours, the band is now on the TV's, slightly different cut, lots of new camera adjustments giving it a more 'hand held' feel. The film page has been updated.

I think this will be on IGN.com at some point.

Skate tour about to begin with CYC. Will be filming / editing. Unfortunately wont be able to post anything as it's young folk involved. Should be fun though!

New Metal Hammer ad out. Advertising the new albums from Drowning Pool, Buckcherry and Nikki Sixx's new book. I hear it's pretty good.

Happy New Year! This years CYC festival video has been edited and effected... Lots of messy visuals and ultra quick cuts! I'll have to find out whether I can post this - as it involves those young folks again.

Work is half way through on the new 3d Visualisation for the new Dhamma Dipa Meditation Centre. Will go up on the 3d page when it's ready.... maybe soon....

NEW SITE UP! It's finished.... well, almost.. 3d page is missing but will be up soon. On here there will be some breakdowns of effects that can be seen in the films we've done. Exciting. Maybe we should do a compositing one too.... All those things you never knew were rotoscoped!! Fun.

It's been a while since the last update! We're working hard - so there will be a bunch of stuff being uploaded really soon. Promise.

There's a new festival poster up in the design pages - for Culture shock festival 08. It features Rosie's wonderful little face (+ torso) - which is more than enough reason to go look. Lovely.

The robotic experience known as Gimi is now in teaser form.... The full trailer is not yet completed, but this little teaser was played at Culture shock festival. Gimi is a website currently being created - which will consist of a search engine and thousands of youth activities. Sounds complicated.... and very very dangerous.

Not a lot of news right now, but the new edit for Gavin Rossdale's Wonderlust promo is in - so check it out at the film page.

Looks nice n tasty..... but I don't think I'll ever forget having to clean up all that fake blood off my lights..... Good times.

Working on a new video for RAEN - a girl band from Australia.

Shooting down at Shepperton Studios and Rosie is extra busy producing this little adventure. Should be a lot of fun, but need to complete Gimi (the little robot) - so no sleep for me!

10/11/08

At long last the Robot known as Gimi is complete! The two of us have worked real hard on this one and hope it has paid off. Follow Gimi and his search-bot adventures over at the film page. Now I can sleep.

Big thanks to everyone who helped out and a massive thanks to the very talented Graham Taylor over at GTFX for building this playful little fella.
