Encounters Short Film Festival: Bear at the Cliff

I am pleased to say that Bear at the Cliff will be screened in this year's Encounters Short Film Festival right where it is made, in Bristol!

For those who are interested, the film will be shown in Emerging Talent: 2 programme on Wed 18th Nov at 20:30 and Fri 20th Nov at 12:30.

I am really looking forward to the festival, between meeting my international friends again and seeing quite a few shorts I have been wanting to see on the big screen!

Heavy Petting - WIP

For the past few weeks, I have been having a great time in Wonky Films doing work experience. These are some examples from the project we are developing.

And a mock up for some of the sequences in the smoking sheep's progression.

Thank you so much to Vicky, Miki and Maria for the opportunity to do work experience there with you. It has been an enriching and fun experience.

I suppose polygonal modeling in Maya can be quite fun and Renderman is absolutely lovely, when it does work.

Animation: Root [WIP]

Root is a personal 2d animation project I started last summer, about a comet that crashes into a city. As of now it remains a WIP and I dearly hope to revisit and finish it some day.

Studio Porcupines produce brilliant ideas!

The deadline looms precariously close and time trickles relentlessly away. For Alfred and colleagues, being incarcerated in the studio slaving away seems like a sensible thing to do. Yet energy sets with the sun. Soon, these edgy "studio rats" started to grow spikes and discovered letting out your pent up feeling can lead to some disastrous consequences!
