Currently, I'm in the process of putting together a Teaser Trailer. So I want to put up some imagery ( mostly concept drawings and sketches ) in the next coming days. However, my focus is producing imagery, not updating the site. ( unfortunatly! )

Ok, So I'm preparing for an update with some significant animation and style in the next
coming weeks.

For now, check out this "zoom-test.mov" that I did to work out some motion styles I'm wanting to incorporate.


I'm almost 100% complete with Future-Girl, and will be having her run through some action sequences for some
visual payoff soon! I'm excited and can't wait to show them off


I'm a huge fan of
Gennedy Tartakovsky's sensibility,
Hayao Miyazaki's heart,

Shane Gline's color and style,
Brad Bird's storytelling, and about a million
other influences that are just too numerous to list here.


It's my hope that Invasion will be a fusion of the these influences thrown into a pot, simmered to perfection
and served up with a side of belly tingling goodness! More to come soon!!

I've been showing alot of Future Girl, and her creation. But I have finally gotten around to coming up with
something to show for her Counter-part.

I would like to introduce you to "Oklahoma Shay."

Everything I'm telling in this tale is based on true events recently uncovered. In 1944 before Indiana Jones, there was
a midwest legend known as "Oklahoma Shay". His feats of strength, wit, and patrotism are unchallenged.
Check out some eyewitness accounts of the"Oklahoma's Shay" Chronicles.

I'm happy to start the New Year with some more images! Here is a sneak peek of a few early poses I tried out for Future Girl.
The poses shown here have no facial posing, as it has yet to be setup! That's next on the list. So stay tuned!

I want to get an Animated "Action" test done ASAP.. So look forward to that.

There is also a bunch of concept art that I need to prepare and post online..

More to come soon!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy 2005!

Well looks like I had time to put together a small motion sample of
Futuregirl. I did this to just test out the setup on the charcter rig.
But I thought since it's been awhile since I've shown anything I'd post it!
I'll post a bunch of poses and more test animations in the next few weeks.
Enjoy!

Invasion is currently in early pre-production. Writing, concepting,and research and development. I hope to bring you stills of one of the main characters here in the next few weeks. As this project is currently being done in our "off" hours it's hard to have frequent updates.. So please be patient, and I'll update you all as I have information. Thanks!!

In between the daily assault of commercial production, the R&D Department was able to pull together a little something to show. This is a "proof-of-style" test, that sets the mood for the entire production. This clip was used to test out the paramaters of the XSI Toon Renderer, and give us an idea of what might be achieved with both look and style. It was so exciting we wanted to show it off!! The next test will be a style test for a character in an action sequence! So stay tuned!
