A couple days ago I was alerted that a photo form my flickr stream was being used on a website advertising the Toyota 4 Runner without my permission. A number of other photographers also had their images used as well without permission.Toyota has removed the images from the site and issued an apology but has yet to contact any of the photographers and you can read about on the sites below:http://

Interesting read today on fxguide about how Sony and The Foundry are merging technologies. I was glad they released some screen shots of the lighting/compositing software we use.Read more here, screen shots from the article below:http://www.fxguide.com/article570.html

This is probably the most disturbing movie I have ever seen. At least in recent history.The film is low budget at times and has an ending that reminds me of a emo NY Film students wet dream but the start of the film is beautiful and the middle has some really messed up shots that you will take to the grave.Its a limited release, probably not going to play long but if you get the chance its worth

Something I have been attempting to do over the last two years is learn to surf. So far the result has been somewhere between FAIL and EPIC FAIL however I remain optimistic, even somewhat enthusiastic about what the future holds.Last weekend I had a particularly nice wipe out that resulted in a broken fin on my board. The picture below I took right after breaking my fin and it illustrates almost

I screen grabbed a couple stills form the Alice in Wonderland trailer. These are shots that I worked on. The first two I lit, rendered and comped as well as did all the green screen work.The last image I assisted on, pulling the green screen, color correcting Alice and doing some final comp treatments as well as creating a multi level dust mote effect in 2D.Alice in Wonderland Trailer in HD

I just saw that "I Watch Stuff" just posted a single screen shot form Alice in Wonderland that I worked on. Another lighter did most of the lighting and rendering then I did a lot of the comp work including the green screen for Alice.Source

Way back in the day, before I went to Ringling I had gone to a little art school which introduced me to animation. The program was very new and very much a joke, the teacher unable to teach and really under qualified however, at the time it was the most fun I ever had.The class was three months long and we were to finish with a 15 second something... it was really that vague. The program we were
