It’s been a little while. For the last 3 weeks (and for this week) I’ve been back working for Rising Sun Pictures (in the syd office). Those who know me will know that I’ ve been wrestling with robots, giblets and bloodspray. The late Saturday night which all to quickly turned to early Sunday morning inspired a couple of rough compositing haiku.

Battling grain.
Late night composites.
My brain is mushy.

and

Gravelly eyes twitch.
Is the grain too heavy now?
Die Robot die.

This was at 2.30am. Thank god we finished at 3am.

Nuke teaching at AFTRS went well. I think the first half of the course is always a bit of a brain strain for students, until they start to have a play and get the hang. I hope they keep in touch and let me know how they go…

Continuing to take a great many photos with the Topman lens. I think the bokeh characteristics would be a little disapointing to the japanese (nisen-bokeh) but hey, I’m having fun with it! Check out my flickr page.
