Hi Kim Where has the time gone? I remember seeing the ad for the site in American Cinematographer magazine like it was a day ago! In terms of my animation work I guess it breaks down something like this: 3D Modelling & Animation takes place in Cheetah 3D. A Mac only app it represents great...

Hi Kim and all Nice to see the forum's retro spring clean. I'm still working away; got a new animation project underway. I recently attended a series of great Animation Workshops run by Northern Ireland Screen: fascinating stuff. There's so much I recognise I don't know but I hope I never...

Hi It's been a long time coming but my animated vid, Here To Go, is finally ready for viewing. Inspired by the hero's journey from world mythology, it's an experimental, punk fairytale: It can be seen here: http://www.hypston.com Thanks Mark

Hi Thanks for getting back to me, Kim The shots are a combination of video and graphics created in Anime Studio Pro. The files are Apple ProRes 422(HQ).

Hi I've been working on an animated project for four years now and I am putting the finishing touches to the fine cut. I have a couple of shots where the outgoing shot is popping or ghosting over the incoming shot. I really know very little about this end of things and I hope I'm using...

Hi Here's a Quicktime presentation of the storyboard from an unmade epic of mine brought back to life by the gift of a new scanner for Christmas. http://sukiyakiutah.com/index.php?p=1_8_unmade Regards Mark

Hi i've spent seven illuminating weeks receiving lectures on and researching the history and terminology behind mise-en-scene, cinematography, editing, sound etc and I would say its been a highly valuable experience. I definitely have a much more rounded concept of the engine of cinema. it's a...

Thanks, Kim. The images are on the network now. Good luck Mark

Hi Kim Sorry for the delay in seeing your message. The web host claimed there was a dos attack on the server. I suppose too many people accessing the clip in too short a time frame could also be responsible. BTW, I got accepted to study Film at degree level at Queen's, Belfast. Your site...
