Demo Reel 2009 is online

My 2009 demo reel is up! Fea­tur­ing some of my lat­est work and also all time favorites.

The sec­ond half of the video shows how to use Celu­light and Nor­mal­ity to shade a 2D cel, which would be one hell of a task to do by hand but is peanuts for this pow­er­ful duo.

Paraworld is done

The cin­e­matic for Para­world I’ve been work­ing on at Pen­du­lum is finally com­plete and ready for viewing.

There’s also a lot of back­ground info for those of you who are inter­ested in that sort of stuff fea­tured on CGSociety:

And appar­ently, our trailer won 1st prize for best Cut-​​Scene/​Cinematics at the Ger­man Game Devel­oper Awards!

Marc Antony

Another cin­e­matic I worked on at Pen­du­lum is done. The focus in Marc Antony is mostly on the facial ani­ma­tion, which was done using a really cool motion cap­ture tool devel­oped in-​​house and pro­duced in coop­er­a­tion with House of Moves.

I only did minor shad­ing and light­ing on this one, as I was stuck in Ger­many wait­ing for my visa dur­ing most of the pro­duc­tion. Once I arrived here, there wasn’t much left for me to do… well, at least I got to watch the World Cup!

Frontlines: Fuel of War

The trailer I men­tioned ear­lier has finally been released for pub­lic view­ing by KAOS stu­dios and Pen­du­lum.
I present you… Front­lines: Fuel of War.

For this short clip I worked on the shad­ing and light­ing for just about every shot and also helped out in the tex­tur­ing department.
