Shot from our concept trailer for The Emergence. In a symbolic way, this shot mirrors my own struggle with life as a creative. It is through strength and persistence that you overcome self doubt.

So keep at it, my friends. No one can take it away from you.

Ever wonder how CG artists integrate 3D elements seamlessly into a scene? Well, it starts with recreating the camera as point clouds. This is incredibly task-intensive, featuring math operations I can't even begin to understand, and resulting with a 3D plane full of points and a moving camera that moves in accurately-scaled spaces. You add your models, verify camera movement accuracy, then composite to your footage afterwards.

A 10-second shot will take *days* to complete...

I have an announcement to make.

For the past few months, I've been working with an amazing team of storytellers to bring to life a unique take on the 'alien invasion' sci-fi trope. THE EMERGENCE is an anthology of stories of every day people dealing with the life-changing events post-first-contact. I'm pleased to announce that the pilot episode will be shot this summer and hopefully out by this fall.

We'll have a page up soon for the show (among other social media presence), so make sure you follow those to keep up to date on the progress of this ambitious project.

In the meantime, please enjoy the first promo image for our show.

Last night my sister reminded me that, when I was a teenager, my dad had purchased a brand-new video camera that had a very nifty stop-motion button. So I ended up making a one-minute stop motion film featuring a clay character and a car.

I have been literally 'making movies' since I was a child, a detail I had completely forgotten about (though I will always remember writing "a movie script" (ten pages of story on a school notebook's leftover real estate) in my early teens.

Film has always been a passion of mine. Funny how little childhood details can help you feel more confident that you're truly pursuing the right path.
