Today marks a year since I finished my PhD film Stardust & Camp. It's been doing the festival route and managed to get a few laurels, which is exciting. The short is now available for the public to watch on YouTube, click the link on my profile to check it out [also once you do letterboxd log it 'cause whyyy not]. Thankyou to everyone who helped make the film possible, most especially my ever-patient supervisors Louise @quadpoly and Leila @leilahonari7 . Literally could not have done this project without the both of their help at every step of the way 🙏

A surprise came in the mail today. I'm so proud that stardust is resonating with people, and I'm honoured that YAFF was kind enough to include my film as part of their amazing line up. Thank you @youngaustralianfilmfestival for the award, and the cool insta-camera, it looks very fun!

this tri for one of the courses I teach, I wanted to get students used to different character rigs, so I tasked them each week to find a biped rig and do a few key poses for a simple animation based on a prompt I give them, this way we can experience a lot of different rigs in a short amount of time. Here are my teachers examples- the prompts are Sneeze, Flirt, Sleep, Door.

Starting @7pm , May 13th, in the arcade room. Poster by @jjayanimate ⚡️⚡️ Submissions for ELECTRICITY close 2nd of May.

the film is done, but I'm gonna try to get it through the festival circuit so it might be a while before it's online. In the meantime, go to my bio and check out the teaser trailer! Also, announcement of the full line up of interviewees for the film (I think it's the first time I've announced everyone who will be in the documentary). Thank you to all my interviews for making this film possible (and my PhD research by extension). Also a big thank you to my supervisors Louise + Leila for their guidance and wisdom 🙏🙏🙏

Styx the Crow | Supermarket Loop my submission for the loopdeloop"supermarket" theme. It's been over 7 years since I last submitted to loopdeloop so it felt good to get back into it. As always, ran out of time but it was a good way to test a few technical things out! Enjoy . . . . #animation #3D #3Danimation #cgi #lowpoly #cute #short #loop #artistofinstagram #indie #art

@birdwithsocks suggested doing a quick warm up model to get us both used to the modelling tools in Maya again, and so we decided to give each other a pokemon to model. She gave me Porygon! This little guy took just under 1.5 hours. It was nice to do something with such a quick deadline. Plus, I realized I never did look at Porygon's design closer before at all! Thanks Steph for the Idea! . . . . #pokemon #3dart #3dmodeling #maya #autodesk #lowpoly

Waiting For a Date This year's teachers example for the 1119GFS pantomime assessment, da big one. I knew I wasn't going to have a lot of time to work on this, so I tried to keep the animation itself really simple, to see how minimal I could go while still giving a [hopefully] engaging performance. Wish I had time to render it like I usually do, but nah shitty playblast it is because that's all I got time for. . . . .

Here is the teachers example I did for my 1119GFS assess02 this year. I enjoy doing these quick animation tests each year, it really lets me brush up on my animating skills and gives me a short break from the larger projects I'm working on. Using my own rig this year, which is pretty exciting! . . . . #animation #animate #animated #3danimation #3d #characterrig #characteranimation #aninator #3drig #maya #autodesk #character #animationtest #test #practice #art #artistsoninstagram #artist #teacherexample
