This guy here broke my fingers so unfortunately I wasn’t able to work on my film and finish it in time for the Annecy deadline. His name’s Dennis. Good with hammers.

Big thank you to Short of the Week for making Keith Reynolds can’t make it tonight their short of the week!

I like Short of The Week.

2 minutes of animation is done; behind schedule but I’m kinda happy. Did you know, in the time it would take you to watch what I’ve animated so far, Usain Bolt could run over a kilometre.

This is a little old but I never put it online! It’s an animation test for a film I want to make when I’m done making the film I’m doing now. A combination of Flash and After Effects. Starring Sarah ‘MATTHEEEEEWS’ Matthews.

Happy new year. Today I did a schedule for my film. I want to finish it by February 15th so that I can submit it to Annecy. I’ve done some maths (I can do animation and maths) and I worked out I need to do about 80 seconds a week which is 11.4 seconds a day if I work every day. I’ve done about 80 seconds already so basically all I need to do is do the equivalent of what I’ve done from July 20th, 2011 to January 2nd, 2012 in a week, every week, for six weeks. At times like this I look back to when I’ve made films before…

The most wonderful time of the year. Have a merry Christmas everyone!

Here’s a little itv Christmas ident I I animated on. Tim Ruffle from Aardman directed and designed the characters. This one is called Yule!

I also did the dodgems one which was shown right before the Xfactor final so maybe even Leona Lewis saw it.

The first thing I heard when I left the house this morning. Aimed at a cyclist. (Was relieved to see she did actually have a dog.)

Been working at Aardman on some ITV Christmas idents with Tim Ruffle. Been hard resisting getting into the spirit and watching my favourite Mariah Carey/Disney Christmas video before it’s December but I’ve managed it so far. Also moved to London and been working on my film in-between jobs. I’ve set myself a deadline of 15th February for the Annecy short film deadline to get it done. A schedule is what I need. Going ok so far though; picture for proof that I’ve done at least 65 frames.
