Wow… wow… wow…
The result of a quick experiment using online MethaHuman Creator alpha to create a realistic human avatar. Great potential for storytelling.
Simple user interface where similar allows you to choose a base character, blend it with others and then focus on different character attributes.
You can download it to use in Maya and and has license condition to run inside of Unreal Engine. Worth checking out for free at: https://metahuman.unrealengine.com/
Audiovisual animation for Michael Mann’s upcoming book – The New Climate War.
Audiovisual animation for Michael Mann’s upcoming book – The New Climate War.
The style of the video was a bit of a homage to The Expanse which has some great scenes of planets in their trailer.
Spent a lot of time picking a great track from Storyblocks and then aligning the animations to the beat. This one is Arabic Cinematic Middle Eastern Music from Artist, Volodymyr Piddubnyk.
Here I used maps and cloud textures from NASA and created globes using Adobe After Effects for the realistic Earth scenes. For the single colour Earth’s I used Adobe Illustrator to colour and simplify them. I also used effects from Mister Horse Animation Composer, to speed up the animation process.
Finally, I added some sound effects to animations which rounded out the animations.
Our Xmas are very different in this sunburnt land and the colours of our country, our landscapes, our flora and fauna are quite remarkable and should be celebrated more.
An Australian Xmas animation. Our Xmas are very different in this sunburnt land and the colours of our country, our landscapes, our flora and fauna are quite remarkable and should be celebrated more.
Best played with sound on.
I drew inspiration of an outline map of Australia and the use of paper like effect on layers from a recent CISRO State of the Climate 2020 video, to create this animation.

Animated videos for Michael E. Mann’s upcoming book – The New Climate War.
Here’s some animated videos I created for Michael E. Mann’s upcoming book – The New Climate War. Creating animations like this, is a way I can give back and highlight the climate crisis and support our advocates .
The first is a 15 second clip and the second one minute but includes quotes from reviewers.
More info on The New Climate book can be found here:

The animation concept was to keep it aligned to the book cover and not make it too overly dramatic.
The animations were created using Adobe After Effects. The globe maps and clouds were flat maps from NASA which I flattened, simplified and coloured in Adobe Illustrator. I used CC Sphere effect and set the rotation of the earth and clouds to difference speeds. I also added additional turbulence to the clouds as well as several illumination effects.
We are at risk of losing everything that we hold dear. Before our eyes record temperatures on the rise year on year.
An animated short film on Australia’s climate change denial and the importance of moving away from fossil fuels and embracing a renewable future.
An animated climate change video that tries to connect with the audience. History will not judge us favourably until we stop obfuscating and set aggressive goals to reduce carbon emissions. Accounting tricks and woefully inadequate Paris Targets do us all a disservice. Blatantly wrong strategic choices on a gas led recovery are going to come back to haunt us unless do the right thing.
“EU set to deny gas power plants a green investment label”
No doubt I’m preaching the converted – but I hope you enjoy the video which is best seen with the sound on.

This animated video tries to capture the audience emotionally rather than through facts and figures. It focuses on the potential of extinction of some of our most beloved animals.
I think I’ll keep coming back to this video and adding additional scenes that bring this important issue to life.
Climate Fool Australia’s emission’s denial We are at risk Of losing everything that we hold dear. Before our eyes record temperatures on the rise year on year. Undeniable. Extended bushfire seasons, more severe. Droughts and floods now our constant companion. Irrefutable. This climate crisis threatens the very existence of the symbols that define our nation. Koala extinction in NSW by 2050. Can you imagine a future without them? Is this the Australia we want to leave our children and our children’s children? Will the destruction of our country be our legacy? There is a way. Carbon emission targets that reduce emissions by 50% in the next decade and zero targets by 2050 can take us back from the brink. We can make a difference. If we stop listening to the lies of polluters mining, coal, oil and gas industries with their insatiable greed. Politicians at their beck and call ignoring science with outrageous lies and slights of hand to get money, to stay in power, regardless of the consequences. There is hope. We can chart a path using renewable energy. If we act now to stop the destruction of our lucky country.
What do we know about the domestic violence situation of people who are also homeless? What other issues do they deal with? Can we improve support methods?

Jewish House collected and analysed 774 clients in a recently released study during Homelessness Week.
In the age of COVID this situation is only going to become more acute. Housing stress will affect more and more individuals and families. How can our support services – already stretched to the limit cope? How will government agencies and NFP’s successfully prioritise? Having better tools to understand the risk of homelessness will be key. That’s a journey that Jewish House is on.
