Quick self portrait I did this morning. I got a ton of followers a couple weeks ago. Thank you all, and I’ll definitely try and update more regularly. Respect.
Third video from our group RecruitPixel, and the biggest vfx project I’ve worked on to date. Everything was shot on the same spot of land, no green screens or tripods, so it was two weeks of monotonous rotoscoping, and match moving to add in the smoke and old cars and take the green out of the bush and stuff. Even though it didn’t come out exactly as I’d hoped I definitely learnt a lot.
So the music video project I was apart of at the beginning of the summer, was released a couple days ago. The song is “Silver Nimbus”, by Jamaican, Alt. Rock group ACMATIC (check them out) This was actually my first time directing a music video, and I’m pretty proud of it. Check out our production team’s page @ recruitpixel.tumblr.com and facebook.com/recruitpixel. We gots more in store, so look out.
Illustration I did last night. I believe I was thinking about the riots in England, and how wicked a weapon the cricket bat is, as defense against snarling beasts. Ahh Friday Nights.

So a couple of friends and I have come together to form a production team dubbed RecruitPixel. We’ve released some small projects so far, with a music video that I directed for the local group Acmatic, that should be out in a couple of weeks. Check out our Vimeo.
