On the Hunt for the Jobosaurus!

Yup that's me, I'm at that stage of my life now hunting for a job and getting my life into the best order I can. At the moment I am finishing my CV and a show reel of what I believe to be my best work. So if you start to see a lack of posting it will be because I will be sitting patiently at a pond with my CV on the other end of my fishing rod waiting for something to bite :).

Anyway check some of my other pages I posted some new stuff and some new old stuff today.

Also please leave a comment and share my blog, I'd like to hear what you think of my work.

God Bless and See You In The Future!!

Welcome to The End so Lets Make it a Good One

That is me, my year is done, over with, fin, complete, all in the past now. I was able to complete my SFX in time for yesterdays deadline and I feel I did quite well for the amount of time I had left to do it. I was really lazy around the start of the year, I mean the new year not the academical year, when it came to my work. I could have been finished most of my work by the end of March if I committed myself to it more but it was a learning curve, I have definitely improved on it though, I would have tons more to do than what I had in previous years if I had not learned from those years that it is ten times better to get started on your work once it is handed to you and complete as soon as because then you will have more time to go back and improve your animation or digital painting and so on and also more time for your friends and family, this is a habit I would like to teach Islay when she goes to school.

I made my SFX using Adobe Flash, Premier and After Effects. After Effects is an amazing software package, you can do so much with it. I recommend going onto Videocopilot.com  and checking their stuff out, it helped me a lot when doing my SFX module. I felt like a learned more from that website than my Lecturers :).

I have had an awesome time at College and University and it has helped me grow so much as a person, find and fuel my passion and love for films, cartoons and games so much more even down to the intricate details. I have also met and befriended some great people, great artists and animators who I hope to keep in touch with and really hope to meet again in the future and in the industry. I pray the best for them all on their new journey into the creative industry, many of them are bound to do great things with their skills and talents.

Here is my Final Year Animation, I was able to put it onto YouTube but here it is if you didn't know or haven't seen it yet and also here is my SFX below please enjoy, leave a comment, subscribe and just be cool cause you know you are!!!

God Bless and See You In The Future!!!!

Almost there

It's been a few hard gruelling days of just constant Uni work. Finally handed in my Animation Project and also my Artworks which consisted of three A2 sized character designs that I made in Photoshop. I don't use Photoshop enough, I'd really like to make some good artwork with it, my head is just full of ideas especially sci-fi, like aliens and environments. Anyway, I'm rambling, here is my Honours Project Animation........or not since there seems to be a problem with uploading it? I'll try later.

All I have left to do now is my SFX animation/video. I'm going to have a 2D character jump out of the screen and get something to eat as he is hungry. I have until 23:59 on Sunday night to get it done. Will Nick complete his SFX on time? Will he do well in the four years of education he has done? Will Nick make it in the Creative Industry!!?? Tune in on Monday to find out!

Meanwhile in this universe me and my girlfriend did a wee short stop-motion-y video cause I was mounting my Artwork designs onto foam board and we had some board left over so we decided to put it to good use and I also got a tripod for my camera for my SFX work. Enjoy!......Okay that didn't upload either so here is a link.
