a number of people have been in touch asking if any DVDs are available to buy.

i hadn't planned on it but if there's enough interest in this then it's definitely something i'll do.

if i'm going to sell DVDs at all i would like to package and print it nicely. i always appreciate good packaging! alternatively i could make a download available to buy online.

all proceeds will go directly towards my new film which is currently in production.

thanks for the huge amount of support and encouraging words about the film over the last couple of months.

happy 2012 everyone.

I'M FINE THANKS WINS AT OTTAWA

I'M FINE THANKS premiered last week at the Ottawa International Animation Festival.

incredibly, it won the Best Graduate Film. i could not have hoped for a better start for the film.

i have to say a massive thanks to louise bagnall, marah curran, rachel fuery, celine halpin, eimhin mc namara, lisa powell, claudio salas & luiz lafayette stockler. all of these people did a great job in helping me finish the film and get it out to the festival on time.

also big thanks to joe tate for his sound design and to paul thomas for his voice performance.

you can read the full list of winners and see what the judges had to say about the short HERE.

ill post up any more news/festival info as it comes.

right now i'm writing my next short at the RCA.

busy times!

last night i won 3rd place in the John Norris Wood Natural Forms Drawing Competition at the RCA! here's one of my drawings from the exhibition:

Matter Fisher

alas! the brilliant Mr. Dave Prosser has released his BAFTA nominated film Matter Fisher online.

i had the great pleasure of helping Dave out for a couple of weeks last year with a little bit of animation. feast your eyes here.

im fine thanks

finally! a post with some bits and pieces related to my new short film

which is called 'IM FINE THANKS'. all the animation is completed and im on to the colouring/rendering stage which in itself is quite time consuming.

below is a sequence of animation frames from the film:

and here, im pleased to say, is a tiny finished clip:

or watch it HERE to see it big.

MAN drawing prize

i'm delighted to say last night i was awarded 2nd place in the prestigious MAN group drawing prize at the RCA. here's one of my drawings which is currently on exhibit at the show.

here's what i'm doing

superduper busy the last few weeks/months with my new film.

im pretty excited to be working with the brilliant sound designer joe tate.

im deep into production and in the final stages of animation at the minute.

(wow that feels good to say)

things are coming together... slowly.

for now here's a frame of rough animation.

film time

hello. last night was the opening of the RCA WIP show.

i'm exhibiting some early character designs for my film.

here's some images of my exhibition space and printing etc.

(sorry about the bad photos.)

ill be making this film for the next while so updates shall be even more sporadic. it's probably wise to expect something completely different to everything else i've made. it may also feature all of the colours known to man. yes. bye for now.

for eimh.

this is for eimhin. may also appear in a thing im making. not sure.

guys

some characters for something. maybe!
