- I recently had the pleasure of being a part of the Canada Skills Competition in Waterloo, Ontario. I was one of the judges for the animation competition. All in all, it was a great experience. And you can't beat free hotels and food.

- I also gave a demonstration throughout the course of the day with my partner, Stephan Perreault. We were given the Lowmax character rig and asked to produce an animation to go along with the quote "We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do". The whole focus was to be strictly on character animation. It took about 7 hours, including pre-production and post.

- In the passed few weeks, I've modeled, rigged and skinned a new character. I've also just completed my first test animation with him and added it to the animation section. I'm really happy with how the rig turned out and I'm looking forward to using him a lot more in the future. Here's a character expression sheet I made of him.
