Legend of the Guardians - Trailer II

, ,

Ear­lier this week Warner Bros released the sec­ond trailer for Ani­mal Logic’s epic ani­mated fea­ture Leg­end of the Guardians: The owls of Ga’Hoole.

Leg­end of the Guardians

We’re all work­ing very hard to make this film the best it can be and judg­ing by the com­ments online I think it’s safe to say that the pub­lic is pretty thrilled with the pro­duc­tion qual­ity.
I’m sure you’ll agree that it is look­ing rather nice… but see for your­self in the trailer.

Legend of the Guardians - Trailer

, ,

Now that the trailer is out I can finally speak about the ani­mated fea­ture film I’m work­ing on here at Ani­mal Logic.

Leg­end of the Guardians

“Guardians of Ga’hoole”… ahem… “Leg­end of the Guardians” is based on the series of nov­els by Kathryn Lasky and is directed by Zack Sny­der of 300 and Watch­men fame.
I’m work­ing on this film as a Look Dev TD mostly devel­op­ing Ren­der­Man shaders and other tools for use by our team of light­ing artists.

Please enjoy the Leg­end of the Guardians trailer!

A land Down Under

, , ,

I am thrilled to announce that I have accepted a posi­tion at the Oscar-​​winning stu­dio Ani­mal Logic in Syd­ney, Aus­tralia. Know­ing the qual­ity of their work and the cool projects they work on, I am very proud and excited to be part of their incred­i­bly tal­ented team.

Being more of a summer-​​than-​​winter-​​guy, I am also happy to skip the harsh Euro­pean win­ter this year and head straight back into a warm sum­mer Down Under. Last Christ­mas I spent a cou­ple of great weeks tour­ing Aus­tralia and I can­not think of a bet­ter place to be.

What this means...

For Stu­dio Lampion

Not much, really. In fact my part­ners will con­tinue to run the stu­dio I helped build up with­out me. They are very sup­port­ive of my deci­sion and I’m leav­ing on ami­ca­ble terms.

For my plug-​​ins and shaders

I will prob­a­bly have less time to spend work­ing on them than I did in the past months. Expect updates and new releases from me to slow down.

For myself

Per­son­ally, I am super-​​happy to be mov­ing to Aus­tralia along with my girl! Our visas have already been approved and flights are booked… noth­ing can stop us now :)
