This is my online magazine for all the various projects involving visual effects I am currently involved in as they happen.
In addition to movie props/costumes or animation and digital compositing work, I'll occasionally post pics of my custom toys and minatures.

Custom Star Trek Vulcan ear tips.

I made these in 48 hours just barley in time for October 31st.
These were made of latex, so they were more TOS style. Next time around in the 2009 uniform I'll be making them out of silicon for a more fleshy look. Possibly for Starfest 2010.

"Gimme Three" sci fi short. The "proto" Buck Rogers flick.

Very few people know of my short film Gimme Three that I produced to see if the stuff I wanted to do for Buck Rogers and The World of Tomorrow was possible. Some remark I made Buck Rogers in four weeks from start to finish, but how about five days?
This film was a project where we had to create a short based on the lyrics of a list of songs given to us. I choose Lynyrd Skynrds "Gimme Three Steps" since it provided me with a means to quickly film something where it would only be me interacting with digital characters.
This is personally my favorite short I've done so far due to the comedic aspects, and the fact it was done in only 5 days from star to finish. It showed me that if I could do this in 5 days, I could put together Buck Rogers in four weeks.
Enjoy!

Recently Turner broadcasting, under the watchful eye of lucasfilm flew some of my clone buddies and I to D.C. for a Clone Wars promo event. This is the second year in a row I've worked with Lucasfilm directly in organizing these events.
