Dead Space "Lullaby Trailer". Supposedly this was banned in North America...




Dead Space, "Loved Ones Trailer"

July 11th, 2008
2 new trailers for Dead Space released online at gametrailers.com. EA has been doing a fantastic job of marketing this game. Even now, 4 months
before the games release date there is no shortage of online and real world presence. By Halloween be expecting to see a Dead Space feature length
animation, and a complete Dead Space comic book series released in tandem with the game. I have to admit its pretty damn exciting being part of
such an anticipated project!

A new website for Journey to the Center of the Earth was released! A shot of mine is actually featured in the clip used as a transition into
the "Trailers and Clips" section of the site. A still of the same shot was also taken to create the dino roaring background displayed above, and the
animated aim icon that can be snagged from the Downloads section!

The Journey to the Center of the Earth trailers are well into their web circuit. While they aren't my most glamorous on the show I have a
few shots that made it into the trailers.Click the images above to go to the corresponding trailers and keep a sharp eye out for each of the 5 shots above
Most of them are on screen less than a second so they are easy to miss!

Accepted a job with EA: Redwood City as a cinematics animator on the upcoming survival horror video game Dead Space. Began work today and I must
admit that I was unsure about what to expect joining the EA empire. Already my concerns have been swept aside though. The studio is the nicest I have
ever been a part of and the project offers more creative freedom than I have ever experienced as a professional animator. While I am not through with the
film industry by a long shot, Dead Space has shown me that there is a lot of potential working in games, and by and far a lot less egos diluting the
creative input of the creative's as well.

Just finished animating the teaser trailer for an upcoming sniper game from Activision. My little brother Aden jumped on board as well to help me bust
this thing in a timely fashion for Alcazar Entertainment whom was out-sourced for this project. Fun project on an insane time line! I have to talk to the guys
at Alcazar and see when I can post the trailer up on my site. Stay tuned!

Just found out through the grape-vine that the Pacific Hold'em CG video poker game led by Brian Harder and myself through Image Engine was voted
as the best new game for 2007 at the recent NASPL (North American Association of State and Provincial Lotteries) Awards. Apparently the game has
been a tremendous success for the British Columbia lottery corporation as well, having returned more than 7 times its expected gross within the first
few months of its release.

Today my part on "Journey to the Center of the Earth," was officially completed. Animation for the show is now finished and being handed off to the lighting,
effects and compositing crews for the final polish. Meteor's efforts on "Journey" will probably go for at least another month. As for me, tomorrow I say fare-
well to Montreal and take a little time off to see some long neglected family and friends. By the end of the month I will begin work on the next demo reel.

This was my submission for the "Journey to the Center of the Earth," VFX Crew t-shirt design contest here at Meteor. It didn't win the competition but it was
a hell of a lot of fun to put something together without an army of supervisors breathing down my neck.

Well, after nearly 3 years I've finally buckled down and pulled together some semblance of what could be described as a website. If you've been
patient thus far than hopefully you wont have a problem holding on just a little bit longer while I muster the time and energy to get this thing up and
running full bore!

I Just accepted an animation position with Meteor Studios in Montreal Quebec for the upcoming stereoscopic 3D-IMAX feature, "Journey to the Center of
the Earth." I put in my 2 weeks notice here at Image Engine today and am scheduled to start work at Meteor in 3 weeks; March 9th. My original intention
for applying to Meteor was really no more than to see if I'd get a response, but a phone call exclaiming they needed an animator for a dinosaur chase
scene on a feature film kind of spun me around a bit. The contract is for a duration of 3-6 months which also lines up perfectly with my time line for
moving to San Francisco with my girlfriend Leila in the near future.

Just finished a little side project that I've been working on in my free time. I began animation with a frog character built by Brian Harder here at Image
Engine this last summer. The actual animation was finished back in September but I wanted to put together an environment for the frogs to populate.
4 months later the project finds its way to completion. Its actually become a good gauge of what it seems I can accomplish on my free time.
There just aren't enough hours in the day.

Received a Gemini nomination for work completed on the Stargate SG-1 episode Beachhead. A fun departure from the monotony of sitting in front of a
computer day in and day out. It's nice to know that someone out there is actually watching the stuff that we pour our blood, sweat and tears into.
The above picture is me and my girlfriend Leila at the Gemini ceremony here in Vancouver.

The Image Engine VFX crew responsible for the work on Beachhead, crew pictured above; Brendon Morfitt, Anuj Patil, Robin Hackle, Vinay Mehta and
myself. Crew not pictured are Karen Watson, and Craig Van Den Biggelaar.
