Sandy - Joseph Mann

Also recently released is Sandy - a short film by Joseph Mann. Check out the film in full on his website or on the Blink Ink site. I joined the project in post-production and didn't get my hands quite as dirty as some of the others working on it. However, I did some pipeline R&D at the start and managed to comp a couple of shots.

I'm particularly pleased with my sparkling sea at the start. Nice to dust off the After Effects skills from time to time! For that also I'll post a little tutorial as someone might find that useful. It'll all be text and images I'm afraid - not a huge fan of video tutorials.

Arctic Monkeys Waveform

Quite an exciting one for my first post, well for me at least. Check out the new Arctic Monkeys music video for Do I Wanna' Know to see my first bit of production code in action. At the Blink studio I was asked to develop a rig to easily animate a stylised waveform by director David Wilson. You can see it below - it's a pretty big bit of the video which gives me a kick.

You can also see it at the beginning of their headline Glastonbury set on iPlayer for a bit! That was very cool to watch - it's a really good set too. I'm going to try to do a quick write-up on how the rig works. It's not that complicated but hopefully there'll be something interesting or useful in there! Hopefully I'll be able to put that up here soon.
