Updates - VOS, Animation Hero, Vet Logo

Alright so quick updates!

Summer goes well and I am doing a lot at work! We finished up some work with Levis and Deliotte very recently so hopefully there will be some downtime for a while on the client end - mainly so that we can finish up some special bonus footage for Valley of the Sun!

Valley of the Sun (VOS) was directed by my boss, Stokes McIntyre, and was released on DVD recently! You can also rent it digitally from various places (youtube, itunes, amazon, ect). If you get your hands on the actual DVD though, you can see the behind-the-scenes bonus - which I edited! YAY!

We hope to put up some more features online soon (including and outtake reel that I'm working on and hopefully some interviews) so spread the word and go rent yourself a romance/comedy! :)

I'd also like to mention that soon I shall be joining the ranks of Animation Hero! This is a really exciting opportunity where I will be working as a character designer. I'm sure you'll be hearing more about it soon hehe

As for the Vet Logo that I was working on my last few posts - the client decided to cancel :( This is a bummer, but we'll all live - it was for the best at this point. Either way, it was nice to work on some art instead of just video for a bit...hopefully there shall be more art soon! (and also video to show hehe).

Hope you've all been well! ADIOS.
