Current Projects.

As the end of term 6 is just around the corner so is the stress of finishing our final projects. I have changed up my idea since I last posted about it, it still is a music video for Tantalus Behavior's new song Langford Life but I have changed up the art direction a little bit.

I am now making it a motion comic, inspired by what they do over at Sequence.

The song is not meant to be taken seriously, so the illustrations/animations won't either. My roommate Milan has been working really hard to pump out some great illustrations, and now it's up to me to animate to make it come together. Here's a sneak peak.



I am also helping out a few of my classmates with their projects, I'm lucky enough to be first assistant director on Ryan Chabot's short as well as Neil Ning's. I am Director of Photography on Feryal Khawar's motion graphic piece. I was also first assistant camera on Alan Maldonado's.

Various VFS projects.

Just some of my various projects I have done at VFS, from after effects to art installations.

first they're sour.

Back in November we shot a commercial for Sour Patch Kid's new online campaign. It was an online competition looking for fan based videos and their slogan was "first they're sour, then they're sweet."

Me and Ryan brainstormed some ideas and came up with a scene where a sour patch kid flushes a toilet on someone in the shower as well as a scene where someone is doing laundry to find the sour patch kid had dumped bleach into the washing machine. We shot both but only had time to finish one.

We didn't really know exactly how to go about filming as we needed some CG work, so we did run into a few problems when it came time to model a 3D generated sour patch kid, Aidin helped us with that.

We also got some time in the recording studio to do our V.O. work for the commercial, normally only sound kids are allowed to use the studio, so we went under the radar on that one.

Overall I was happy with the final product, even though we didn't win. Apparently the company bought 5 videos for $5000 each and may be coming back, so fingers crossed.
