Lollies and Ice Cream with Trapcode Tao

Lollies and Ice Cream made with Trapcode Tao using animated lights, in Adobe After Effects. The melting away was done with CC Mr Mercury and the text with Element 3D. Trapcode Particular was used for the sprinkles on the Fab Lolly!

Character from Logo

I created a character from my logo in Adobe Illustrator and animated the eyes, ears, hair, and mouth in Adobe After Effects. I was going to add hands and feet but decided that it looked weird.

CYBER BEAST Music Track

Cyber Beast music track by Jake South, the guy behind the music of my short film Spirit of the Woods. The animations are done with the kaleidoscope program Inspirit.

Twenty Eighteen

Most of 2018 was spent putting the short film “Spirit of the Woods” together, which was a lot of fun. After the short film was finished time was spent putting the DVD together for the cast and crew, which turned out great. Other things created in 2018 were animated gifs with Trapcode Tao including some Gingerbread men and a Caterpillar character. I also started playing with the kaleidoscope program Inspirit which can be hypnotic!

In 2019 I hope to make more animations and would like to make another short film.

Merry Christmas (2018)

Most of the animations were created using Trapcode Tao, with animated lights. Element 3D, Trapcode Particular and Red Giant Universe were also used.

Merry Christmas.

Happy Halloween 2018

Happy Halloween, Trick or Treat?!

Most of the animations were created with Trapcode Tao in After Effects, apart from the ghost that was made with shape layers.

Spirit of the Woods Short Film

My new short film “Spirit of the Woods”

Three friends visit Sham Castle and get transported to a dimension, where in the woods a ghost hunts them for their souls.

It was a lot of fun to make and I learned a lot in the process.  A lot of the time the weather, the light and locations were against us but I think we did the best we could, and ended up with something that we can all be proud of.
