18th century high def dinosaur

2011-11-16T16:54:00.004Z

Here's a dinosaur iv been working on for what feels like an age, finished animating it about a month ago and taken this long to render. There are a few little things that are glitchy that iv not noticed and will fix at some point, especially with the feet but i just want to shelve it for the moment and move onto something new!

Acting reference footage

2011-11-03T11:39:00.007Z

So its been a while since iv posted anything, i have a dinosaur piece that i have been working on for a while but it's taking forever to render so i thought i would post this up for kicks!

It's my video reference for my office dialogue piece. After hours and hours and acting the lines out, these were the clips i went with to tell the narrative.

Showreel '11 from Joseph Lewis on Vimeo.

Idiot!

2011-08-16T16:37:00.001+01:00

A short piece of dialogue from the American office again! love that show. would of liked to get a nice render, but lighting is a dark art which i cannot seem to get to grips with!

Brian and Godphrey

2011-08-12T11:16:00.003+01:00

The boys on a day out hunting for road kill, but Godphrey forgot the sandwich's so they are going back to the house, Brian is pissed.

Boolean Tool!!

2011-07-27T15:54:00.006+01:00

Mr Chad Ellis showed me the Boolean tool in Maya yesterday... greatest button ever!! So i had a go at modelling a set for my new piece. Really enjoyed doing it! It's nearly finished animation wise, I just need to render it and all that. But first... PORTUGAL!!

(I didn't model the chairs though... strictly the square stuff :D )

Way that you are

2011-06-27T16:39:00.001+01:00

Dialogue from the American office(great show), will render soon. Time for a double character scence next!

push re-render

2011-05-25T09:54:00.001+01:00

re-rendered the push after fixing the leg.

2011-05-23T17:44:00.003+01:00

just a short piece of aniamtion i did this week, learnt loads from doing this piece to do with the importance of video reference and pre planning! and although it could to with a polish, i cant wait to start another! :D

Parkour (again)

2011-05-10T13:35:00.001+01:00

This is another parkour piece iv been working on the past couple of weeks. I wanted to add a little more of an exagerated feel to it after seeing Azerus Rising. It's hard not to get inspred after watching that! It still need's a gooood polish. Comments would be great!

push

2011-04-04T07:59:00.002+01:00

Here's a push iv been working on for a while. Iv just realised after the upload that the right leg on the first push is a bit gnarly. will change it soon!

push blocking

2011-02-15T13:34:00.004Z

a short push exercise iv been working on recently, aim to get it done in the next few weeks, pointers would be apperciated :)

2011-02-09T12:51:00.002Z

Just something to keep ticking over.

my second attempt after feedback and a polish, also added fingers :)

Potty training

2010-11-01T16:34:00.000Z

here's this month's 11 second club that i had a crack at. The evil twin brother try's to scare his younger brother about the danger's of potty training, but to no avail.

Needs a bit of a polish and a decent light setup before i render it. C+C are welcome :)

Parkour

2010-09-23T22:25:00.002+01:00

This is a short animation iv been working on for the last few

weeks. Still needs a goooooood polish but the basic moves I

wanted are in. Please comment iv been looking at it for to long!!!

2010-01-12T12:24:00.001Z

This is my showreel that i put together at the end of August and it's be laying stale in my computer for ages so i thought i would put it up. It contain's work for our game from Dundee, Scotland.

Tiny run cycle

2009-08-10T21:11:00.004+01:00

After the hype of the Tiny rig in the final year of
uni I thought id have a go today! Comments and
criticism are more than welcome!

2009-07-08T18:31:00.001+01:00

This is just a simple bit of body mechanics I
did in some spare time up in the highlands.
This run is the same from my showreel but
I adapted it into a climb and dive.

2009-07-02T11:00:00.006+01:00

So thats it! uni's over and free money has stopped:(
But alongside Jamie Lloyd we have been really lucky
to have been offered a chance to compete in
Dare to be Digital all the way up in Dundee to make
our own game!!! For 12 weeks we will make a game that
be showcased in Edingbrugh in the middle of august.
So if were allowed i will be posting some of the things
that we have been doing over the coming weeks.

11 second club june

2009-07-02T11:00:00.003+01:00

Due to having some spare time in scotland I
completed this months 11 second club dialogue
which is an online animation competition. I didnt
end up handing it in due to falling asleep on the
last night whilst it was rendering!!! gutted!

Its about about a guy stuck in pergatory trying
to get past the bouncers at heavens gates :)
