Just a quick muck about at the tiltshift timelapse meme. Dunno if I’ve nailed the focal plane, but not to worry, it’s just a bit of fun. The music’s by Japanese popsters Melt Banana.

I shot the photography for Kellogg’s Breakfast Club site a couple of months ago and I see it’s gone live now. Felt really weird being back in a school for the first time in twenty odd years, but was a chuckle doing the shoot and none of us wanted to leave after the bell went for class! Designed and built by the crafty grafters at mN.

Not had the busiest week, so used some of the time to have a play in Cinema 4D and do something for Nick Campbell aka Greyscalegorilla’s latest Five Second Project to the theme of Coffee and Triangles. Giving me a chance to have a play with the Mograph module in C4D as well as brushing up on my modeling, texturing and rendering know-how.

These projects are a great idea by Nick. I’m always struggling for a reason to try new stuff, so the abstract and open nature of the themes and 5 second restriction are ideal for just ‘getting things done!’. He’s also got some great vidcasts on his blog, some tutorials and some of him just yakkin’ some wise words.

I shot footage with Jason Arber of Wyld Stallyons for his Nosebleed/Aneurysm project last week, through his new Ko*lab venture. Can’t wait to see the finished piece. I’ve been working on a title sting for this too, but now I see the footage, I might repurpose it for another project.

Jason’s since finished his final edit of this. Beware it’s creepiness and minor NSFW boobage, check it.

I designed and built this microsite for A.G. Barr (of Irn-Bru infamy), through Blonde, last year. But, regrettably, due to problems with the promotion it never went live. So I’ve put it up on the back of my site for you to have a gander at.

I was asked to do a logo for a series of upcoming music events. The first one being in Liverpool, 28th February ‘09. Turns out they’re going to use a series of different logos across the whole thing, so it’s not technically the logo, but it is a logo for the event. You can find out a little more about it on their myspace.

I developed the design and created this prototype for a Papervision 3D site for Intel, through the good folks at Bright Digital and in After Effects.

I finally got myself these new business cards printed, just before Christmas. They have a spot varnish on the logo, that you can’t really see here. Anyway, at least I have something to give people when they ask for one now.

Been meaning to try something like this for a while, but being short of a few grand for Boujou or PFtrack and unsure whether to go for Syntheyes, I finally found out about Pixel Farm’s budget offering, PFhoe. Though it’s no miracle worker and it failed on more solves than succeeded, after a day’s messing around with it. But I managed to get enough information out of it to try this little experiment. I wasn’t really intending to do anything or go anywhere with this, just messing about, but ended up doing that Fringe/Panic Room titles thing, which I still really like. Also had my usual fun (over) grading the footage.

Addendum: Finished another little test with broader camera movement. Was a tricky little bastard, but nailed it down. You can see it on Vimeo.

Was a bit unsure about this one, as it’s a little unclear in the rules whether you are supposed to actually redesign the logo or design around it. I just thought it’d be a good chance to refamiliarise myself with Cinema 4D and was good to get back in amongst it. It’s got me thinking I need to try doing more 3D and I might even have an attempt at turning this into a piece of motion graphics, as it does feel like a frozen still from something that should really be moving.
