Vancouver Film School Student Work (2000-2001)
Below are some examples of my earliest 3D animation while a student in Vancouver, BC, including my student film.
____________
When the Los Angeles International Short Film Festival (L.A.I.S.F.F.) contacted the Vancouver Film School asking for students to help promote their event, I was one of three graduates undergoing our scholarship extensions. We were asked if we who would be willing to animate a commercial and two promos to play throughout their festival. My classmate Mark Driver handled the compositing and visual effects, Ian Cumming did the modeling, rigging, and texturing, and I handled animation and graphic design. Our first collaboration as graduated students, we worked together very well, with Ian and I using Softimage 3.7 and Mark using Maya Fusion to composite.
Later on, Mark and myself were flown to Los Angeles by the festival to see our work at the theater of the Los Angeles Film School. David Hyde Pierce was in attendance behind us as we watched, and it was our first taste of "working for Hollywood."
It was fun for my first foray in to quadruped and a space genre, even if the quality of the animation was soon outdated and removed from my demo reel.
