New Halo Short

2011-07-13T08:30:00.000-07:00

Filming on Star Wars the Clone Wars Stories Episode 4 has been delayed recently because I have yet to receive several essential supplies for animating including a Clone Army Customs figure which will star as the main character. In the mean time I decided to put together a short Halo film the other day to keep you guys entertained.

It's one spartan's lucky day because he goes home with a killionaire!

Midi Scale CGI!

2011-07-08T08:55:00.000-07:00

As of recently the bar has been set much higher for the quality of CGI used in films. So therefore I am making the move to bigger, more detailed models. This is much easier now that I have a Mac that can handle the sheer amount of studs. So overall there will be a major improvement in all of my CGI. Make sure to check out my Flickr as a I will be posting tons of new tests there.

Sorry For the Lack of Updates

2011-07-08T08:29:00.000-07:00

As many of you who view this site may have noticed, there has been a lack of updates lately. The main reason for this is because of Bricworld. Preparing for the convention took a lot of time and effort. However, the real problem was catching up after the show. Since then I have finished CGI for several people and completed episode three of Star Wars the Clone Wars Stories. Expect more updates in the future.

Star Wars the Clone Wars Stories Sneak Peak!

2011-04-29T18:30:00.000-07:00

Here is the opening shot from what will be the third episode of Star Wars the Clone Wars Stories Season 2.

Some of you may remember Count Dooku's Mandalorian Commander from Season 1 who was wounded and captured during the battle of Bothawui by a squad of elite clone troopers. He is now being transferred to a maximum security prison on Kessel.

Brand New iMac!

2011-04-01T16:23:00.000-07:00

I've finally gotten around to purchasing a Mac! The reason I bought it was mainly to improve my CGI. Before, I could only do so much on my PC because of the limits the graphics card has. Now I can import and use much more detailed and complex 3D models. So overall, expect to see lots more CGI in my films. I might put out a few tests too.

Master Chief vs. the Marines!

2011-03-18T16:24:00.000-07:00

I have begun work on a new short film! This one is something I've always wanted to do. If you remember the second mission of the Halo 3 campaign you will know exactly what this is about. Here is a screen shot from the film:

Here you can see Master Chief gunning down his marines as they beg for mercy. So far all of the footage looks great. I'm looking forward possibly to having this done this weekend. Check back soon for more updates!

Republic Machine Gun Turret Special Effect

2011-03-06T13:20:00.000-08:00

Today I began editing my new film, Eraidu City Part 3: Taking Back the Planet. I'd like to show off a new emitter I found that works really well for Republic/Separatist machine gun turrets. The effect automatically emits blaster bolts without you having to constantly draw in new ones in order to create a machine gun like effect. It does this for however long you want it too. Below is a clip from the film showing how this looks. (The other lasers are done with Effects Lab Pro.)
