Progress

The photograph above is from a photoshoot with an artist I shotwhile working at Euphonic Sound. The weather conditions were fairly poor as it was consistently raining all day but it was a pretty good day, while I was finishing up editing the set back at the studio I messed around with some of the colors pretty heavily on a few of the shots I liked (the above is an example).

The 'game' has been shaping up nicely. I fixed a bunch of AI & Hit detection issues, added game-over menus and just overall cleaned it up a bit more. I'm slowly leaning towards making it into a facebook app....just for the heck of it


Cheers

Rainy Day


Just a little update today,

I just wanted to update on whats been going on lately with my work and updates to the blog/site. I recently had a few client jobs to take on so those had to take priority over personal projects for a little while however, I had the chance to assist the filming of a live event and dabble in a bit of online work once again.

on a side note- I have started reviving an old project. I mentioned in a previous entry I was going to dig up some old flash work...and I did but, I decided to completely rebuild one project in particular that was never quite finished or given enough time or effort. I'm not promising anything too spectacular but it will be a short game hopefully with a demo ready to post in a month or so-
The project is still in a pretty simple state & I`d post more details but I'd like this one to be a bit of a surprise

Parallax & Looking Back

I made this a little while ago and figured I would post it here as well,
but another parallax effect created in after effects enjoy-

Also new on my channel is a old PSA I made for a grade 10 comm-tech course at my high school.. needless to say I didn't take it very seriously at the time but It's kind of funny to watch now.

I also found some other old work from the class which needless to say is pretty bad, but funny. There was a set of old business cards for a fake paintball company, a fake movie poster featuring carrot top, a business man and some random kid. Another random half-baked "horror" movie and this..



I don't even know whats going on here or what I was thinking. I'm pretty sure I had to green-screen something (I notice a bit of a green bleed around me) as well as X-number of layers to make a post card of our own imagination..

I might try to find some of my old flash work from when I had next to no knowledge of how flash works or what I was able to do- I recall it being pretty awful to say the least but its kind of interesting to see what I attempted in the past regardless of quality.


Aside from that insight into my juvenile work, I have begun researching & learning bits and pieces of php. Today I created a simple user log-in forum and last night attempted to learn about loops and timestamps (with some minor success) which is working towards something I plan to design in the future. Finally, research has started on the new n33il.com layout, still a very early stage of development but its long overdue and on the way..
