After a fairly busy last few months I finally took some time do do a much needed update to my showreel. This version features the epic track Ballad of Thunder Road by Robert Mitchum as well as a new slate. Enjoy.

I just found that my Ad Deaf Awareness was short listed for Cannes Lion. I am still in disbelief so I took a screen shot, considering getting it framed.

Asia Photography
June 25th, 2009
Back in March I took a trip backpacking through South East Asia (Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam) and brought along my Diana F+ to take a few snaps along the way. My digital point and shoot got nicked in Cambodia so I’m happy that I salvaged a few photos. A few rolls I flashed beforehand to get a nice desaturated and washed colour pallette, I think it gives it a nice feel that suits Asia very well.
Axis and Boards Awards Results.
April 9th, 2009
The last week has been pretty lucky for me as I managed to pick up two awards. Pretty much just as I got off the plane from SE Asia I went to the New Zealand Axis awards to find that my Deaf Awareness ad won a gold axis! I was quite surprised since there has only been three golds given in the last 10 years so I feel quite fortunate to have won it! A few days later I heard that I placed second in the First Boards Awards held in NYC. The competition was pretty tight as always and has some really amazing guys from around the world so I feel really lucky to be a part of that as well.
First Boards Award Finalist
February 28th, 2009
Boards Magazine just announced their finalists for the First Boards Awards and I was fortunate to be in the top three for Motion Design and Animation. I believe the results will be featured in the May addition of Boards Magazine so keep a watch out for how I did!
Deaf Awareness - Axis 2009 Finalist
February 24th, 2009I just heard that deaf awareness is a finalist in the 2009 Axis awards in 5 categories! A pleasant surprise since I only thought it was in one. Better chances of getting an award i guess, I’ll take that! Deaf Awareness recently took bronze in the Sydney AWARD so I’m curious to hear how it fares back in New Zealand.
