Them Greeks…!
Them Greeks…! is a short film by artist around the world! Yes, around the world. I have been a part of the team as a Character TD for some time now and I have to say the project is looking fabulous and huge.
The story revolves around a character “Norman” who is an antisocial fellow, who despises noise and disorder, clashes with a bunch of crazy Greeks!
The film is directed by Spyros Tsiounis and produced by Cindy Rangel, Phillip Williams and Daniel Zizmor. The project is building up RIGGING, LIGHTING,and TECHNICAL DIRECTOR teams so if you are a qualified artist just drop an email. You can check out the project’s webpage for infos or like the FB page for more info and updates on the project 🙂

SERU
Check out the latest short from a Nepali Animation Studio who won the 1st prize in an animation festival. I hope the making off comes soon as well. I was a part of the team as a rigger and the short was directed by Deepak Limbu from Escape Animation, a fun little friend of mine. The story is about two friends on an adventure which seals their friendship even stronger.
The short still needs some good amount refining and polishing to be done towards story “telling” and animation, but I think it is a very good initiative by a small group of team working from Nepal. Enjoy 😀
The Chase – Trailer
Amazing and really intense trailer of The Chase a 3D short movie directed by Philippe Gamer @ Space patrol. A crazy, irresistible, intense, spectacular car chase between police and four unlikely accomplices. I am looking forward for the short’s release. Really enjoyed it 🙂

Markerless Facial Motion Capture
Check out this video of Markerless Facial Motion Capture by Motek Entertainment. The technology seen here is similar to what I have seen from Image Metrics re-targeting demos. Pretty cool stuff though.
