Lack Of Updates

Hey all

Updates are coming soon, just started back at Uni for my last year so been busy trying to get projects approved etc.

Explosion update will be up soon, along with a couple of screen shots of other things going on, so come back soon!

Thanks

Building Destruction – Coming Soon

Working on some more special effect stuff today. Got on our extension roof and filmed a quick shot of my neighbours extension being hit by some sort of missile.

Footage From After Effects

Footage From After Effects

Ignore the boxes around the image, that’s just what all the elements look like in After Effects. Needs to be colour corrected now so it all looks “real” and I will post it up soon!

Explosion – Test

So I recently got this package called Action Essentials 2, just a massive collections of fire, smoke, debris etc.

With a bit of time and effort mixing all these things together and adjusting colour, adding a bunch of other effects I managed to create the following! (Watch in full screen)

This was practice for a future short action film I have planned, so expect more test footage of the same style.

If Only – Short

Sometimes we say to ourselves:
If only… If only I said something sooner. If only I’d arrived on time… made more effort… called more often.
We like to think these ‘if onlys’ rarely make a difference. But what if they do?
What if, by accident or by design, these moments not only change our lives, but the lives of people we have never even met.

I wrote and directed this myself. Was shot in 4 hours (was shot the day before but the tape didnt record anything so had to be shot again), and put together in a little under 2 days. The music was also created from scratch by myself. Will be entering this into a online short film contest soon!

Thanks to the “actors” for helping out, Chris, Alice and Pete!

Enjoy.

Fake Trailer

This was a Uni project last year, make a short trailer with some special effects involved.

Turned out pretty well, was a bit rushed for time, but the Uni want to use it for a promotional video for the media part of the university so thats something.

E4 Estings Competition

Get the Flash Player to see this player.

E4 recently had a competition for the public to create 10 second short clips to play during their ad breaks. Iv never really done animation before but thought I would have a go at it.

Came up with this robot idea being dragged away by E4, 15 winners get announced on the 15th of Sept, so fingers crossed!
