Hobbit FX Reels


These FX reels released by Weta showcase the amazing work that was done on Gollum, The Goblin King and Azog (who I had know idea was completely cg, I figured it was atleast digital makeup or head replacement, not entirely cg).

Check them out here:

My faves of 2012


Movies:

Life of Pi
Read the book a few years back, and was amazed at how faithful the movie is to the source material. Watching this reminded me of why I love movies.



Music

Imagine Dragons: Night Visions
Thanks to the trailer of "The Host" which used the opening track "Radioactive", this album is on constant repeat.



Tv series

The Walking Dead (Season 03)
Intense, suspenseful, great acting and a crap load of zombies. Best season yet.



Book

A Dance with Dragons
I didn't have the chance to read too much in 2012 but I did read this insanely huge book. Can't wait for
"The Winds of Winter"


First look at Cloudy 2




Here's a first look at the production I've been animating on for the last 3 months, Cloudy 2! The original image is lot bigger, but USA Today have released this cropped tease. Hopefully more Cloudy 2 stuff start to show up on the internets.

Check out this link to see some descriptions of the food animals!
