Rayguns goodies

I've been keeping you all out of the loop for a while, not through intention, but through laziness and world travel plans. BUT, here are some cool vids from Weta's Dr Grordborts world, created by Greg Broadmore.



and number two...

My new Favouite Music Vid

New stuff from the Holograms, Kap10kurt Music video revisits the eighties, somewhere in between manga and motion design, the past and the future.

In a world full of danger, where music is banned by an evil militia, Kap10Kurt, an easy-going hero, helped by his sexy mate Leah, will blow up this Machiavellian conspiracy....

Directed by The Holograms (UFO LABEL).

Halo Adverts

I've tracked down a clip of the 3 halo commercials cut together to form an uber military sci-fi geekfest. You get to see a lot more of the Warthog that I worked on, and also some of the overlaid motion graphic (HDUs, security cam footage, Warthog camera systems, and Satellite/Chopper tracking Systems, and also the tracking system locking onto the falling asteroids) that me and a friend produced for the folks at Origami to integrate.

All up, I reckon it looks awesome. As always, there's a lot more work put into everything than will ever be seen (especially at you tube res), but I'm getting used to that.

Weta Work: Comic Con 07

So we've got this bug at weta, she's called the 'weta bug' and she often dresses normally, but in light of the geekeness entailed in a comic convention she's dressed up. As her character - Weta Bug. But she doesn't really look like a weta or a bug, but she has antenna or antennae or whatever.

It's complicated.

Anyway, she's cranking out some youTube updates for all of us about the San Diego Comic Con. And they go like this:

Weta Work: Halo - Arms Race

Well they released this earlier than I expected them to, but here's one of the projects I've had my little finger stuck into recently here at Weta Workshop. Note that my finger was only one of many (much more talented) fingers here also inserted into the pie that is the Halo: Arms Race thingie. I think it looks pretty tight, congrats to all fingers involved; Bungie Studios, director Neill Blomkamp, WETA Workshop and Origami Digital LLC

And here's a dodgy youTube version:

Titles Special

Some cool title sequences from the land of Japan:

Handle the Jandle Titles

These are the titles for Wellingtons 'Handle the Jandel' DIY music video competition 2006. I helped out with a schodey illustration and played the drummer and other parts in the bands. The project was coordinated by me mate Jerry, whose website you can see here.

Sigg Jones

An awesome animation by 3 students from France - if you haven't seen any cool 3d ani for a while this is well worth watching, even at 7 minutes long. (In case anyone is not aware, 7 minutes is an obscene length of time for a 3d animation piece, even if there were 3 of them)... their website looks like this

Malajube "Montreal -40°C"

It's another oarsome music video:

Terrahawks

I never saw either the original Terrahawks or the Japanese remake, but baby look at those title sequences....

What Rami Should Have Done

70's - check
Japanese - check
Superhero - check
Giant Robots - check
Zooming Cameras - check

Shake Your Booty.

I've dredged this up from years ago to show someone, it's still relatively radical (or R.R as it will henceforth be known). It says on the YouTube page that it was created by a Kiwi ad agency, which I didn't know. Yay

Memories...

"The Ultimate Warrior is Insane"

Adventure Time

"Mathematical!"

Muse's 'Knights Of Cydonia'

One of my favourite music videos of all time. Oarsome.

Grindhouse - Planet Terror Trailer

Caution, not really for children...
