Exciting News!!  I’ve been working for So! Animation in NYC since March and our first episode for Virgin Media has been made public.  It includes Simply Red singer Mick Hucknall and Virgin founder himself, Sir Richard Branson. 

The client (Virgin) loves the spot and has been getting great feedback in the UK!  It will actually be shown on the big screen in all Odeon and Cineworld cinemas  starting June20th (in the UK only, since it is promoting a Virgin Media video and on demand service). Can’t take credit for any animation, however, I was involved in materials\textures and rendering. A lot of long hours were put in this project from our AMAZINGLY talented crew at So! Animation. Our next episode is already looking AWESOME, so I’ll keep you guys posted on that.

Along with the Virgin Media project, I’ve been working on a spot for the History Channel. Don’t want to go into too much detail, but all I can say for now is that its looking pretty great. Ok, I’ve been excitingly ranting so Im going to end it here. LATERS!!
