I'm not a
professional artist by any stretch of the imagination but have undertaken a few
projects - some paid, most not. Here you can find a brief outline and
links to the projects that I have and am undertaking.

Late |
My own story and premise. I am reworking the premise to ensure
I have a good story. My original attempt was nothing more than a
related series of events.

Island |
Story written by Paul Ryan, a work colleague of mine. A
well written short but it has some dialogue. I am currently
developing the screenplay and storyboards.

Scarecrow of Oz |
When the work for Hash's TWO project dried up, Martin moved straight
into pre production for the sequel - Scarecrow of Oz. After pre
production, Martin took a sabbatical from the project and from Hash -
the company, leaving us to our own devices with a relatively stable
version of Animation Master. The work on SO does continue under
the watchful eyes of Hash's best and brightest (no - not me). Work
on SO is proceeding at a much slower pace. When is it due to be
completed? How long is a piece of string?

Tin Woodsman of Oz |
This was a bold endeavour from the outset. The plan,
originally, was for a community based short film but quickly blew out to
a full feature length film. Martin Hash took the helm and I
stepped in as a Project Manager, part-time modeller and animator.
Directors came and went and finally Martin took all the reigns - for
better or for worse. After 18 months of work the project was done
and left for rendering. You can find 'completed' segments covering
the entire film on YouTube.

Eggprops |
In my early days with Hash's Animation Master I joined a group of
intrepid modellers lead by Billy Eggington, an Aussie Expat living in
the states. He had an idea for a quality model library for the
Animation Master software so started a period of intense modelling (for
which we actually got paid). Billy called it EggProps and it is
still there today though not just for AM since Billy has moved on to
more commercial products. One benefit was that this also lead to my
first 'proper' commercial work - building American Football stadium
models for a game. This was a real stretch for my skills back then
and although I couldn't quite finish it to Billys high standards, he was
gracious enough to pay me a prorata amount. This paid for my first
multi license version of AM.
