“Bar codes” animation design
I haven’t blogged in ages, as I’ve been on my honeymoon and also I’m lazy. But I wanted to show you a few character/bg designs I did for a little corporate job recently. Most of the work in this (approx) 2 1/2 minute animation was in the design. There were only a few heavy animation [...]
New Precinct pics
For the last couple of months we’ve been working on a new pitch/proposal for a Precinct half-hour series. This has meant a lot of meetings re the scripts (which need to be reworked to fit the longer format), the plots and the “big ideas” behind the show (we’re thinking about three seasons’ worth, so there’s [...]

So here is how to animate Precinct characters: Exciting things are threatening to happen, Precinct-wise, lately. [...]
Comedy Festival posters: the Facebook quiz
I spent some time with Sarah yesterday going through the Melbourne International Comedy Festival program and enjoying the head shots and ads. Clearly there’s a number of quite specific poses comedians default to when they’re getting their photo taken (this chap pointed one of them out here). So we separated the many shots into a [...]
