Hey all, haven’t done a blog in a long time so heres a little update. Firstly, i’d like to thank all those russian spammers for constantly reminding me that I actually do have a blog, and sorry no I’m not interested in your sex toys, money making spams, although I do appreciate your fake flattery on the quality of my blog! Anyway, lets get into those tabs, finally get to clear them up…
I have collected a bunch of animations, some old, some new, but they are all pretty cool and have a great level of detail, skill and creativity involved. I’ve had them open in my firefox tabs for weeks now because I’ve watched them so many times, so time to get them cemented in my blog!
Kajimba
Kajimba is a 26 episode x 5 min CGI series in production at ProMotion Studios in Sydney, Australia. Conceived by James Neale, it is aimed at an older market owing to the flavour of the language and themes

Galactic Mail
From the same makers of Sigg Jones, here’s another high quality animation sure to impress! A fast paced race to deliver the mail on time to its destination, which mail carrier will come out on top??

Wrap Up
I’ll leave it at that, will have to update you with more projects that are in development, update you on the renderfarm research, and share some ideas and concepts I hope to be working on in the near future. For now, i’ll leave that for the next post (this was longer than I expected, thought I had less tabs open than that!)
Feel free to leave feedback on what you believe makes a good animation, what works well and what doesn’t. Really keen on hearing opinions on these animations as I hope in the near future i’ll have an animation in the works!
