In 1998-99, I was enrolled in a computer animation program at Humber College. An Ottawa-based rock band asked our class to make a music video for them, and I was picked to put it together. This served as our year-end project, and it took months to finish off. Very dated, with some very rough animation, but it was a project that changed the course of my life.

As Halloween approaches, I’ve been scrambling to get a short film done that could match the fun we had putting together 2009′s Carving. Four abandoned scripts later (mostly due to length and need for actors), Andrew threw this script together on Saturday, we shot Sunday, and I cobbled it all together by Wednesday morning. We shot this in the beautiful Crook’s Hollow area of the West Flamborough area. There are so many incredible locations to explore there, if you live [...]

I’ve just put the finishing touches on the sound mix for Victoria, and I’m readying it for festivals.   With that, I figured I’d need a trailer and some promotional stuff, so I’ve put together the poster design that’s floated around in my head the last few weeks.

Below is a screen shot from the latest short film that I wrote and directed, “Victoria”. We shot this past weekend with Sean Kaufmann playing the lead role and I have a brief appearance. It was great to get behind the camera again and have a crew to handle the technical stuff so I could concentrate on the direction. The biggest challenge was lighting the film with candles. They burned down constantly and we had to use one 500 watt [...]

Woke up this morning and while playing with my new Asus Eeepad Transformer, saw a link for something called HP MagCloud. Turns out it’s an on-demand magazine printing service that also offers digital downloads. Well I just happened to have finished laying my new Griff Hagarth comic out for magazine sizing, soooo…

That’s the name of this book as I start filling in the word balloons and rendering the artwork. But it may change. I figure since the major, 64 page Griff story I’m working on will be titled The Sky’s the Limit, I’d go with another phrase for this one. Though in the latter, the sky really is the limit. A quick peek below at how it’s looking. Share on Facebook Tweet This Post Post to Delicious Digg This Post Stumble [...]

For the last 9 years, there’s one character that’s rattled around in my mind more than anyone else. Griff Hagarth, a sci-fi thief character originally designed for an animated project. He’s undergone a ton of changes since his initial much sleeker designs, but after years of delaying any project I did with him, I’ve spent the last week writing a 12 page comic for him to star in. I’ve got high hopes that I’ll finish this short comic story for [...]
