MONDAY SHOWCASE

Hello, welcome to a new feature on intelligentape.co.uk, a weekly posting af good quality and new 3D work!

I'm startings off with a bang! the trailer for the new game: TRANSFOREMRS: war for cybertron, currently showing on youtube, vimeo and gametrailers.com. (sure you can find it elsewhere too!)

Im not going to comment on the game, or when its released, or what console its one, just the graphics! and I really like them, Its styled somewhat closer to the cartoon series than the films, i particularly like bumblebee's design. nice pasing to the trailer, nice camera work and overall good design. I have to admit however, that the tag line 'one shall stand, one shall fall' is very tired! and somewhat cliche!

a sort of update

Hello all

well its approaching 2010, and I though i would round off the year with a few updates on whats happening with me.

a brand new clash of the titans trailer has just been realised, which is exciting! it heavily features the work we have been doing at Cinesite, so thats cool. Realease date is now the 26th March, which is sooner than I expected, but nice to know its coming up.

Speaking of Cinesite, Im about half way through my contact here now, its been about 7 months so, far and i must say its a very nice company, friendly and full of talented people. I also think its about the right size, not too big, not too small, meaning you pretty much know everyone, but its large enough that you can mingle, and work with different teams, definatley getting very comfortable here! might post some photos from the work xmas party if im in the mood?

Have been thinking about updating the website, nothing too big, just updating some of the link, adding some new pics and maybe updating the text a bit, i have several projects from the last year thats have yet to be showcased on the site, including the opening cinematic from the beatles rock band game, several small adverts, the work teaching in denmark, and (a bit later in the year perhaps) the two films i have worked on so far with Cinesite.

Im also thinking of putting some personal projects online here, i dont usually have time, for such things, but i figured if i posted some 'work in progress' shots online it might spur me to develop the work further.

In other news i am thinking of returning to denmark to teach again in the spring, its dependant on what film i am working on with cinesite and how flexible my time is. we will see.

anyway, thats all for now, will update again when i can

adios

prince of persia trailer released!

hello all

well the prince of persia trailer has finally been released online. The film itself comes out next summer, looks like its going to be the summer blockbuster.

im afriad none of my work in the trailer, but its nice to see the film coming together and i thought you might be intreaged to see the sort of thing i have been working on this year, (and at cinesite). this is the first film i have worked on since 'The Tale of Despereaux' with framestore, but more importantly its the first film i have modelled on since 'The Dark Knight, which was over a year ago now, and ...... most significantly, its the first film i have some texture work in (although i doubt i will be credited with that)

once the film it out on DVD i will detail my role on the project, but for now, sit back and enjoy the first trailer for 'The Prince of Persia'

Some more Beatles related goodness

Following on from my earlier post about my work on the Bealtes: Rock Band intro, im now really excited to show you the game 'outro'.

With the release of the game earlier this month alot of the graphic work has been released onto youtube. My involvement with this was once again as a modeller and texture artist, working with Passion Pictures. The biggest example of my work on the outro are the instruments, which were modelled in Modo 302 and textured using photoshop and I think they look great in the final render, a great mix of 2d and 3d animation.

enjoy:

Cinesite!



Hello all

some news for you this month as of last monday (the 18th) I am now an employee of Cinesite London. Its great to be working in Film again, and it looks like im gonna be here for the best part of a year, so should have some exciting new work to show at the end of it all.

Working as a modeller again, but i think it may be straying into texturing before too long, will keep you posted with any news that I can.

In the meantime heres a little about Cinesite:

"Cinesite offices in Hollywood and London were established in 1991 and 1994 respectively, as test sites for Kodak's Cineon computer system, an end-to-end solution for 2K and 4K digital files. Cinesite became so successful in its own right, however, that after Cineon was discontinued by Kodak in 1997, Cinesite developed into a visual effects facility. In 2003, Cinesite's Hollywood branch became incorporated, by Kodak, into LaserPacific, a multimedia, DVD authoring digital intermediate and post-production facility.

Initially, the company worked solely as a visual effects facility for film. Since 1999, it has increasingly become involved in television, creating effects for several productions, including HBO's Band of Brothers in 2002; Rome in 2006, again for HBO; and The State Withi for the BBC in 2006.

The company has won awards for its visual effects, gaining an Emmy Award nomination and a Royal Television Society award for Band of Brothers. Its work for Rome was awarded the Emmy for Visual Effects in 2005."

Cinesite is also part of the visual effects team that won an Oscar for the Golden Compass in 2007
