Stargate Universe

This is some of the stuff I did at Image Engine last year. It was my first time doing cameras and hard surfaces. I only worked on 2 episodes, "Darkness" and "Light", but it was fun.

And I know it's very dark. Destiny is usually brighter but they were having some power problems on those episodes. A higher quality QuickTime file can be downloaded here.

11 Second Club - August 09

Here's my WIP for the 11 Second Club August competition. I was thinking of doing an acting bit and I liked the audio, so why not?

This is a render test.

My MEL Scripts

I've been doing a few MEL scripts every now and then and I decided to make a video about these tools. Some are very simple and others are a little more complicated, but they were all made to help me animate easier and faster. My favorite ones are the Interactive Motion Trail tool (which is built upon Cameron Fielding's original Motion Trail script) and the Mirror Pose tool (works great on walk cycles).

To see it a little more clearly download the Quick Time file here.
The scripts can be found here. Read the scripts for information on how to use them properly.
Please do not distribute those. They are intended for private use only and at your own risk. Some scripts have to be sourced, then ran from the MEL command line. I also added the icons I use on my shelf buttons.

Cheers

Updated Demo Reel - Nov/2008

This is my most recent demo reel. It's my first update since I got my Canadian Permanent Residence. This reel contains some shots from personal projects, but it is mostly made of production stuff I've done while working at Vetor Zero. I added some QuickTime versions of this reel to be downloaded at the links below, including versions with embedded subtitles for the Spanish and Portuguese dialogues. The shot breakdown list can be downloaded here.

Demo Reel - Feb 2008

I updated my demo reel on February this year, with some of the work I've done at Vetor Zero. I'm planning to add a few other things to it. It still lacks a few acting/dialogue bits. So expect a new upload soon. If you want to download it, click here. By the way, the shot breakdown list is located here.
