New demo reel

Hello folks!

here is my new demo-reel. I've been working on nice stuff last year!

Since I finished school, most of the project I have worked on was TV show about dinosaurs. It seems that there is always something to say about them right? But lately things had changed and I had the chance to work on wonderful projects. I learned so much in the past few months it was so exciting.

After two years doing mostly layout and previs, I finally got the chance to animate and I really enjoy it! First I animated snakes witch was a very technical challenge. Apparently I did well because then I was assign on a cartoon TV show. Cartoon animation is so different then all the realistic show that I used to work on, but I always love to try new things and do something different. 

My last major project was Underworld 4, which was may be not a great movie, but I have to say it was very exciting for me since it was my first feature film. I mainly did some matchmoving for the legs replacement and some props like the whip. But at the end I had the opportunity to animate full creature for some shots and it was so much fun.

here it goes:

or you can see it on vimeo for a best quality

My shots

Hello everyone,

last week I finally got my shots from Dino and I made a little shorts. So here are my bests shots on the project. I mainly lighted them.

Enjoy!

MORE about dinosaurs

Well!

At the beginning of 2010, I wish you all a very happy new year!
As I said about myself, I want to travel around the world, and so I will. Next week I am flying to Peru and Bolivia for 5 weeks. With my backpack, my camera and my fresh eyes I will fill my head with wonderfull souvenirs. But before I go, I wanted to give you a little candy...

Dino Body has become Clash of the dinosaurs and it has been on TV in the United States a little before Christmas. Discovery Chanel posted 15 shorts of this documentary on this link:

Those videos are not quite long, but you can still view more of our work at Mokko.
We are very proud of the result.

But the best is still to come...
I can't wait to show you guys!

Dino Body

Hi everyone!

well, I look at my blog and... wow it's been a while since my last post!
But I have a pretty good reason.
For the last 9 months I've been working on a dinosaurs documentary as I said before. But in fact, it has been 2 projects back to back for the same client, Discovery Channel. So we didn't have much time between both of them.

The team worked really hard on both shows. I was mainly lighting on the first one, but on the second project I did many things. I worked for the layout department as well as FX and some previs animation. Now, at the end of the shows I am back to the lighting department.

I've been waiting for a while to show you some of my work. Finally Discovery put some footage on the net. So here is the first trailers of Dino Body:

I hope that the second project (that we are currently finishing) will soon be available too!

I am quite proud of the work we did.
Hope you will enjoy.

New job!

I have been working to Mokko Studio for a month by now.
I am lighting a show about dinosaurs for Discovery Chanel and I am learning a lot.
We use Maya 2009 and there is some new stuff there that are quite interesting.

I am still continuing another contract part time at home.
For this one i am doing the lipsync and facial animation for kids show.

All this is keeping me quite busy.

Modeling Bibo

Here is the first version of Bibo now in 3D.

He has no face for now because I am still thinking about it.

Any comments or suggestions for him would be appreciated.
