Other Work

At various times I have also worked as a Film Director, Animation Director, Executive Producer and Lecturer. Details follow. (Click this link for a full copy of my CV.)

IKON 3D Animated Trailer DVD/ Playstation 2:
IKON was a narrative driven and highly cinematic PS2 title for Sony and RockStar Games where game play and cinematic narrative blended seamlessly to create a game "blockbuster". I wrote and directed the 4 minute (narrative) trailer and directed 2 productions scenes. I also script edited the entire interactive screenplay, headed up the Sydney Animation studio, created a pipe line for production, cast and directed the motion capture acting, supervised all 3D animation passes (Max/ Char Studio) , lighting and Sp Fx and supervised all sound and music post production.

Through Brilliant Interactive Ideas, (BDE’s Sydney studio), I script edited and directed four one hour multi-path, real-time 3D animated action movies for CD-Rom. I supervised script development, interactive design, directed voice recording (New York and LA), actor’s motion capture (Motion Analysis), supervised all camera coverage and animation passes, (Max, Character Studio), facial animation (Max/SCuD), editing, sound and music. Each title was a feature length production and required extensive flow charting.
