04/02/07 - I’m getting in to compositing as well as my Maya 3D modelling. So after browsing the net looking for some good ideas, or some examples, I found this Peter Sanitra’s website where has has put up a demo reel of his. quite frankly it is THE best demo reel I’ve seen for an awful long time. It’s short, but very punchy. His technical 3D skill are excellent which seems nearly matched by a clever bit of compositing and editing. I strongly advise you to download the demo reel (at highest quality if you monitor / tv supports it).

It’s interesting how he comments on his website about not liking "... the Vancouver / Toronto / whatever style of demo reels, that have 10-15 seconds of work, then 1 minute of breakdowns and 2 minutes of thank you, to all supervisors, mentors and others…" Interesting because virtually all of the other demo reels are in that same style; I find it boring. Peter’s certainly stands out from the rest.

I liked it that much I even got the Linkin Park album which is the featured soundtrack used on it!


05/11/06 - NEC Bike Show 2006 in Birmingham. For those bike and bird lovers out there check out: here

27/06/06 - Recently uploaded some photos from a night out in Leeds for the Save The Children Charity. It was a Bond night, which turned out to be a pretty good night. Have a look at the photos here.

Here you will find a load of photos from a cricket match between Kersley CC and Little Lever CC.

30-06-06 - I’ve uploaded a new Blog for those that are interested. Blog 6 is all about my 3 Peaks Challenge, which went a little wrong.


DJ Rob Knagg has a new mix to his collection available for download. I recommend it and have been blasting it out recently. Some old ones on there.


I’ve added downloads for bcmwl5.inf and bcmwl5.sys for the broadcom chipset on Blog 3, for those of you who are trying to get BackTrack to work.

I bet people will have noticed that I’ve become very behind with my blogging again. I’ve been busy trying to edit the Thailand Holiday video and it has taken me some time. I’ve done editing before, but only basic stuff, so getting the right workflow was difficult. So coming next will be a Thailand blog (of what I can remember of it) and then a post-Thailand video edit recap. I’m not sure whether I’ll go to the lengths of actually writing a tutorial on it as they seem best covered in a video tutorial, but we’ll see.
