Recently I have been getting really excited about creating small animations. It will be great to end up in a place where I can create these for clients in a product/still life based situation.

With the rise of NFT’s and Instagram moving to favouring video content over stills we are seeing a lot more of this style of work which is clearly having an inspiring effect on me.

Here, I wanted to create a peaceful and calming piece of work that plays with the idea of continuous motion and ultimately, time. Creating a room that is situated high up in the mountains gives a ‘monastery’ and spiritual feel to the environment.

I think I will go back to my Tag Heuer watch model and play with placing that into an animation. Thats the beauty of a CGI model, once you have it made you can re-use it over and over again.

Also, I think the time has come to move away from Apple. My trusty iMac has been great over the last 4 years but it is really struggling with some of the CG work I make. Pound for pound, what I can get for £2000 with a PC is superior to a Mac in every way, even the new M1 chipped Macs. Nvida graphics cards here I come!

Stay safe and be kind people!
