Just when you thought the AWF crew couldn’t get any crazier, we have found a kindred spirit to join us. But just one difference, she’s a she. And her name is Eppie. Adam explains, that when he first meet her, he realised the potential she had for the team even though she was a bit young. She is bright, fun and witty, all things the crew was seriously lacking. And when I first meet her I thought she was epic-ly cute, she has so much energy, it is always hard to keep up, and the quality of her hair is just mesmerising…

Oh, did I mention she’s a puppy?

The newest thing that we have been playing with is a wacky thingy-a-giga called augmented reality. Basically it allows the viewer to hold a particular symbol in front of the camera and creates a 3d object attached to the symbol, this is done online and in realtime. Now, in case you were wonder’n, it doesn’t create it in real life, so don’t get excited but only through the web cam, so you can move it around and it will follow it as you move! What makes it even more exciting is you can add animations to these objects making the unreal experience….real :O With a sudden interest into this technology we decided that our next Christmas card will involve this augmented reality.

It’s been over a year now since my last blog about my idea’s sketchbook and what has changed since then you ask? Not much haha actually I’ve already gone through three sketchbook’s and starting a fourth one very soon. So why are these sketchbooks so important? Well, sketchbooks are the heart of my idea’s, simply because I need to draw my ideas in order to see it, to visualise it. In some cases I’ve noticed it’s better to explain something by just drawing it…well for me anyway. So what have I drawn in the past year you wondering, click more to find out

In the recent weeks of working on 4Pantun, I’ve been drawing the background elements for the Asian sequences….I wonder why. But before I started we had a student named (?) that designed a few of the first drawings, when she left, I took over and I used her drawings as a reference for my designs. So if you’ve been stalking me throughout my blog’s you’ll know that I love to draw Only difference with these drawings is the style. Generally when I draw I tend to be very fussy with perfection, making sure everything looks right; shape, size, detail, etc. But Adam has explained to me that these drawings are meant to look drawn, meaning he wants me to fail epic’ly on straight lines, draw abnormal circles and worst of all, overlapping…..:O

It was a cloudy day and the appearance of rain was getting higher by the hour, I felt small, alone and some what threatened. But it was this day that Adam would come over my desk and mention that I’ll be involved in the shooting of Briony’s epic film, Room at the Top of the Stairs. My mood somewhat changed and the clouds outside disappeared, I realized, I was able to control the weather!! After being told I couldn’t, reality kicked in and I couldn’t wait to be on set while filming this short film

If you’ve been up to date with us you’ll know that Arcade Trap has been selected to screen in a few film festivals. One of them happens to be right above us. Yes that’s right, heaven. No wait, it’s Melbourne! Realising this would be a great opportunity for us, Adam and I decided to visit this uncanny area Yes! Finally an opportunity to meet fellow animators, see other animations, meet famous animators and celebrate animation in general… all with the help of special liquids.

So I thought it was about time to write a blog… rather than explain once again the complexity and technological amazingness of the work that I do, I thought I would just write about one of my personal favourite things… Music.

As an exercise, and because my thought processes got hacked by a trojan winter virus, I thought I should draw some inspiration from everyone’s favourite space-man-rocker, David Bowie, and do a random mash-up of phrases that I stole from the poor victims that surround me in the office. Little do they know I will use their thoughts in my rise to glory!!!
