The Amazing Spider-Trailer
Hello, here's the latest trailer of The Amazing Spider-Man, the film I was working on up until a few weeks ago.
Looks pretty good I reckon and I particularry respect the brave decicion they've made not to put a series of loud 'BRAAAAHHHHHHH' horn noises throughout. I was also pretty pleased to see one of the shots I animated appear in it. It occurs at around 32 seconds and looks like this -

Spider-Man Finishes, Picture taken
Posts on this blog seem to have gotten a little slow recently but hopefully that will change soon. Work on The Amazing Spider-Man is now drawing to a close and it's looking like I'll have a break between projects. Which hopefully means I'll find some time to write some interesting posts here.
With great power comes great VFX work.
A big congrats to the Spidey team at Sony Imageworks. It may sound cheesy but one of the best things about this project was working with such a lovely bunch of people. For anyone interested, I'm on the right of the picture wearing the John O' Groats sweatshirt. Woooo! John O' Groats! Right? ... eh? Oh.

JOHN CARTER
John Carter is released this week, the film I spent almost a year working on. This gives me an excuse to share this great picture of the animators from Double Negative's room 402 created by Graham Gallagher.
Our costumes relate to what we were working on at the time Dan Pozo, Chris Page, Graham and Francesco Canonico are dressed as Tharks. Craig Rutherford is wrestling with some Thark hatchlings, Stafford Lawrence dons a Thoat costume while Brecht Debaene and I are sharing a White Ape costume ... for some reason I'm the back end!
More of Graham's work can be found HERE.
There's been a surprising amount of footage released from the film and the following section shows some of the shots I animated -
Rather than trying to describe them all, I've made the following pictorial montage.
The film looks pretty good I reckon, and I hope those of you planning to see it enjoy it.

John Carter Wrap
All VFX work on John Carter is now complete and the wrap party was held last Saturday in London's prestigious Natural History Museum. Unfortunately I was unable to attend due to being on a different continent, however someone from Double Negative made a movie of the event which has enabled me to get a taste of it, I've borrowed a bit from it below.
It's especially pleasing to to hear the director, Andrew Stanton's appreciation of all the hard work the many visual effects artists put into the film. Congratulations to everyone involved, I can't wait to see the finished film.

Angle and Curve Promo
Here's a little something I worked on before leaving the UK. It's a promotional video Craig Bardsley, Julia Goehle and myself were commissioned to make for Angle & Curve - the company that I've been told by the unbiased owner, makes the best headphones on the globe.
From start to finish it took just 10 days. We were only able to work on it for a few hours each evening so unsurprisingly it is a little rough around the edges. Craig and myself devised the story and did the animation. Julia came up with the character design as well as some key-drawing clean-up.
Due to the tight deadline it was created as simply as possible, without using colour and drawing straight into the computer using the excellent free program Plastic Animation Paper.
As my day job usually has a focus on realism and detail it was refreshing to try and tell a whole story as simply yet clearly as possible. It was also a chance to try and rejuvenate my rusty drawing skills. Hope you like it.
