As well as showing off your skills, showreels can be a useful personal marker for projects completed and time passing. I haven’t produced a showreel for 5 years and so I thought I’d put together a quick reel showing what I’ve been up to.

There’s a 1024×576 version here.

Music : Wave of Mutilation by Matthew’s Celebrity Pixies Covers.

I recently finished work on the second of two commercials for HP at Nexus. You can see the first (called Google Maps) here.

Directed by Smith and Foulkes, 3D at Nexus Productions and compositing at TBA.

Earlier this year I worked with Joji (Woof Wan Bau) planning and supervising the shoot for this commercial. It was a lot of fun, if a little noisy. Photographs from the shoot are here.

I’ve written up a tutorial on VFX supervision. It’s very much a work in progress, but I thought I’d post it up now and add to it over the next few months. You can read it here.

I’ve decided to move my photography pages over to a photoblog system. It’s taken quite a while to set up but it’s online here.

I’ve uploaded new sets of photographs from my trip to India :

Train Journeys in India, Darjeeling, Kalimpong and Kolkata.

As well as Prague.

I created the theme myself, partly because I wanted to organise my pictures my way, but mostly because I’m a nerd. Let me know what you think.

Last year I travelled to Buenos Aires with Nexus to supervise the Coke Avatar shoot. Here’s some photographs.

Everything should be back up and working now.

I’ve decided to experiment using Flickr for more day to day photographs. I’ll still be putting monthly updates on this site. Check out my Flickr photographs here.
