Steven Paul Jobs

If it weren't for Steve Jobs (1955 ~ 2011);

We'd probably not have Windows OS

We'd not have innovative user interaction and immaculate modern gadgetry brand designs.

There wouldn't be Pixar, we wouldn't have RenderMan thus most of all the awesome visual/CGI effects we have in films digital era.

Meeting People

Ever wondered what it looks like if you accidentally throw your sketch book into an Xray machine? Anyway its great to go out to conferences and seminars, you get to meet artists from around the world and you get to pick their brains :)

People I've met from 2009 - 2010 end. Time to make more name cards....




The odd thing though is still the spiral which David Freeman drew in my sketch, I wonder what he really meant...


By the way, it wasn't thrown into an Xray machine, I just accidentally inverted the colors in Photoshop and ran with it, it just looks more interesting than black on white :)

Don Hertzfeldt

Was doing some research when I came across this, made me laugh :)



You've got to watch REJECTED by Don Hertzfeldt to understand :) Story is King!!!!

Demoreel Mid 2010

It's been a while I've updated my blog having taken a year off and then back to work for another 8 months to help up the guys at Passion Republic has really gotten me thinking about my own life career. Anyway here's a compilation of my works from 2006 till early 2010 and it's really my first Demoreel created, will probably recompile another one by year end.

Please feel free to give your comments what you like what you don't like and should be removed and how it could be better any feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Me

Well it's been a while I've updated anything personal on this blog, so how much more personal can one get by updating a photo of oneself.

The following photos were taken back in Dec'09 while working on my 11 sec December entry (which is yet to be completed). I was shooting my completed 2d frames at that time when I was suddenly zapped in the head and had this ridiculous idea of a 3rd person view self portrait. I was about to update it in Feb but came across the KL Photo awards which I thought I have a go at...... wished I'd spent the 80 bucks entry fee on buying DVD's instead.

The Last Lecture

I know this is a blog mostly about animation topics, but this is one lecture I'd recommend watching, especially if you're doing some soul searching and planning out your life. There are some related stuff about Virtual reality, Disney and EA though.

Worse come to worse at least I hope you learned some expression, gestures and body language of a speaker at a forum.
