Quote Unquote Final Leica Reel

Well, this is the quote unquote final leica reel that we had to hand in today. I will still probably tweak a few things, but this is more or less what its going to be. The screening will be on wednesday (at noon, I think) in the SCAET building. Personally I can't wait. I've only seen a few other's leica reels so far, so its going to be cool to see everyone elses.

Leica The Third

This is the third leica reel so far, although only the second that I've posted. This is my favorite version so far. I'm going to show it to a couple teachers this week in the hopes of getting it torn apart

Action Analysis

Finally finished my Action Analysis. A 30 second leica reel with one seen (precisely 5 seconds in length) fully animated, cleaned up, coloured, etc. It took ages to finalize everything buts it's nice to finally have something that's finished. Now we have to do it 80 more times for our film next semester...


This is the 30 second leica reel version with the 5 seconds intercut into it.

And this is just the animated 5 seconds.

Blogger and Youtube were being weird and making it 7 or 8 seconds, and in slo mo for some reason, so I tried using Vimeo to upload it. I think I will be doing that from now on (although it did cut off the last few frames).

Holiday Fun with Via Rail

Well, last weekend was full of excitement and adventure. An enormous blizzard makes commuting 250 kilometers much more interesting. Apparently cold makes trains stop working. With a 5 hour delay at Union Station I figured I might as well make the most out of my time and draw all the happy, joyous people that were so enthused with Via Rail's preparedness for December snow. Maybe I'll colour it someday.

Also, to celebrate the holidays (and 1000 hits on my blog [I guess that means I'm not the only one who's looked at it]) here is my final project for our 'beloved' art history class. My buddy Nathan (link at the right) and I made a leica reel movie trailer for a film about Michelangelo and the Ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. It's very rough around the edges and the voices are far from perfect, but considering short film leica reels normally take 4 months to complete, and this was done from scratch in 4 days, it'll have to suffice. Merry Christmas!
