At last! We've finished the animation and visual effects for the second series of O Na! Y Morgans. Our main task on this series was to bring to life the Morgans' pet hamster Danedd, whose antics featured in every episode. This created a number of challenges for us, not least because of the changing script that had to still keep within budget and schedule. The more of the hamster that S4C saw, the more they wanted! Nevertheless, and despite some tight scrapes, the final delivery was dispatched last Thursday and I could breathe a sigh of relief. I can't rest, however, as there are a number of projects that urgently need my attention, some of which have to be completed before Christmas. I also need to start transferring my own films back to my hard drive so I can begin prep work ready for animation and compositing. There are also some big developments at Dinamo that require my expertise and input that I'll reveal at a later date.

 

I'll be updating the website soon with a new Morgans showreel detailing our CG work and I'll also take some time to deal with the look of my site, which certainly leaves a lot to be desired. This was the first Joomla site I built and the two others I've done since are in a far better state.

 

My last project is Creative Xulu, a media information website that will provide support for the various media industries in Cardiff and beyond. It'll be launched in the next few days, albeit in a basic state, and built up over the course of six months to feature a links directory, a jobs board, a company database and hopefully a raft of articles and tutorials. Keep and eye on it and I hope to see you there!

 

Busy, busy.
