'Bluntspear at the Film Festivals'. Sounds more epic than it is.

Few updates on the Festival front for my films Red Man and Merchants Of Quietus. An all around good look methinks. Both films will be at the Portobello Film Festival and Red Man will also be at Aesthetica Short Film Festival.

Currently been busy with a few stuff, hence the radio silence. But hoping to launch a few new projects come September.

Sum up,

Great and sad times we living in. Just never compromise. Too many people change for the worse just to conform. Bleh.

Fine. Let's start the carnage. #redman #somethingwickedthiswaycomes #mandesperate #kingdefiant #herotragic #forscotland

Redman. It comes.

Redman. Defiant. Tragic. Claiming kinghood the old fashioned way. Through blood, menage and might.

Working some more on frames in my a short animation based on Macbeth. Yeah that one. My on and off projects for years now, but it's coming together. I swear. Thought I'd share a frame I just did:

Red Man Animation Edit Test

Behold, ye mighty people. Did a little Edit test of Red Man and currently redoing some elements. Well, most elements. Not most, but a lot. So working on that now. What do you think?

Sum up,
Could this be my undoing... mentally I mean.

Guillotine Swizzord Move!

This is it. Hamburger Hill. Half a banana clip that you got the GTA way. RedMan frames are being completed piece by piece. This is despite trying to keep on top of producing a short film. Which is annoying to say the least. Like tending to numerous bushfires at once. But it'll eventually get done. February 15th people! Mark it to death.

Meanwhile deep in the super-secret lair of the Villainous Vagabond, the #animationvagrant concocts another dubious plan for... yeah yeah, check out a frame I did for RedMan:

Peace. We out.

Redman and other campaigns of terror

Hey gang,
One of those weeks where I am faced with numerous things to do and I am trying to block and tackle it all. #prioritise man! Any who, taking a quick break Redman frames (yep, still working on that) and though I'd say whats good. Check out a frame I churned out last night:

Also working on Merchants of Quietus, a short film. Before I was planning to make it a promo film for Lazarus Rising like I did with Black Box.... which is at 20,000+ views on YouTube right now! But after consideration I decided to make it into a film in its own right. The ending's change.... and a lot better if you ask me. Meeting D.O.P Stil to discuss sometime tomorrow hopefully. Meanwhile just working on the script and finalising it and storyboards and getting them printed. Finally got cartridges for the printer. It's been awhile you goddess of duplication.

More on that in the coming week.

Sum up,
The Body Count Rises...

When work trickles rather than pours on...

...is annoying but you know its a prelude of good things to come. Yesterday, I met up with my brother in arms Remi King to start the edit for the Stak video. Might need to get more area shots but the initial edit is on its way and its looking very promising. Also will be putting my hands into the motion graphics pot. The Red Man animation I have been working on has had me using tools I usually don't using in AE. Which is a good thing. Thats what happens when you are self taught. If you have found a way of doing something, your not quite eager to learn much else. But once the learning process is carried, usually through forced necessity, you remember exactly why you love what you do. It's weird I know. I think its the bad 3D nightmares of old that left me frustrated after hours of modelling, rendering and double vision.

Red Man is coming along. Slowly. Exported a few animated clips and about to put them on the timeline. See how it all looks. Here are some illustrations/framework I've done in the past week. I know I said I wouldn't post anything Red Man related until I got a bulk of it done, but I've been so diligent, I don't think posting one or two things will mess with my work feng shui. Simple ish:

Also been working on a logo for music group 'Heroine Highrise'. First logo, was ok, but too funky.

Second one's not done, still working on it. Need to get my ass in gear. As it stands:

Yeah, I know, get to work punk!
 'Til then super-friends...

Sum up,
Got an unexpected text. Now I am amped. Back on my Ronin ish!
Oo, yeah, Harbinger is coming!  Like the book on Facebook or drop a message on Twitter - Harbinger on Twitter

Redman Still

Kinda putting in overtime, so not much time to spend online. Despite the respite, from blogging that enlight(ens), i will post images for you to see, so hold back grimaces.

This is the Red Man. Called so for many reasons. The English hate 'gingers' it seems. So who better to bring about the demise of the pork men? I had another still... a crown falling into the abyss, but silly me, the file got corrupted.

Currently working on animation titles i know i promised to show today, but yesterday...ah f*** it, I am tired. Gtg people.

Sum,
Loving my internal rhyme display. Pay Homage hommes.
