NVFF and KLIK!

Very excited that The Right Place will be part of a Canadian indie animation showcase at this year's Melbourne International Animation Festival (June 20th-30th) and will be in competition at the Toronto Animation Arts Festival International (July 26th-28th)!

The Right Place

I recently finished animating a short to a great song called "Right Place Wrong Time" by Dr. John. You can watch it on Vimeo or on www.gallanimation.com (courtesy of my friend Hitzel who helped make that work).

Something Else

Last Summer I got to animate a few sequences on a music video by Director Justin Nieuwland. The song is "Hey Bully" by Montreal based acoustic string band Lake of Stew.
Justin went for a 1930's rubber hose look, which was great fun to draw. Click right here to check out the finished product along with a full credit list.

The Invention of Littering

The GreenSpace game's private testing period is over. It goes public today. apps.facebook.com/green-space

Here's a bit of animation I did for the introductory cinematic.
You can see the whole thing (with lots more animation, effects and background art by Brad Cayford and Leisl Adams as well as sounds by Jasper Gahunia) by signing up for the game or checking out RocketOwl's youtube page.

GreenSpaceTM: Locomotion

Here's a demo of the base male and female characters from GreenSpace^TM. They inhabit a massive environment within the game (See Brad Cayford's sweet background art below) so we needed ways of getting them around quickly so that players don't get bored during the commute. Short distances=Walk. A little farther=Hover. Across the board=Teleport. (Be sure to fullscreen it in HD).Up next: FUNNY LOOKING OUTFITS!
