Flying Bunnies

Hello. So, it isn't exactly the most riveting piece of animation I've ever done, but it's out in the world so I thought I'd show it to you. In this promo for MySims Racing, there is a flying bunny that follows around Troy, the producer that I had the opportunity to rig and animate. That's right, yours truly did that, and believe it or not, he's actually swaying slightly side to side with some minor offsetting that you can't see at all. Feel free to not watch the whole thing, or any of it for that matter. My feelings aren't going to be hurt. Have a lovely day!

Tales of Monkey Island

So a month or so back, I had the pleasure of working for Telltale Games on some animations for the first episode in the much anticipated return of the Monkey Island series called Tales of Monkey Island. It was a lot of fun to work on and I'm hoping to help out again in the following episodes. I'll let you know if and when that happens. Thanks for stopping by!

What's that? Website animations?!?

That's right! You can check out some of the work I've been doing at EA here (Agent guy on the bottom right) and here (the two agents on the first page). At some point I think they'll be using more of my Agents character idles within the website but I'm not sure where or when. I'll keep you posted.

Say What?!?

Well, they've done it again. Three guys with no advertising budget have found their way onto Kotaku once again. How you ask? With one sweet-ass image.

Go to this place. I hear they are giving them away for FREE! 

Don't worry Virtual Shackles, I bet this post will bump your views by 2-3! You're welcome.

A job...I has it.

Good news everyone! I was able to procure a 'marketing artist' position at EA. What is a marketing artist? Good question. I'm not entirely sure myself but I know I'll get to do a little animation which is what really matters. Special thanks to Rich for the referral. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Leads

Well, GDC, in terms of immediate work opportunities is probably a bust. However, while at GDC I received an intriguing phone call about a position that could be a great little opportunity. I should know more tomorrow and I'll be sure to inform the two of you following this blog what has come of it. 

Besides that, it was great to hang out with the Gaijin Games guys during the week. I also got to meet some very interesting people throughout the industry and hopefully made some great connections for the future.  Special thanks to Erin for driving us up there on Friday and for hanging out. That girl knows how to gather swag. Til next time.
