The Weirdo Hero - Screening

The movie is finished and on Aug31 we had the official first screening of The Weirdo Hero for friends, family and most importantly all the crew and cast who dedicated their time. 

Director and Star

The movie came out pretty great. The sound guys did amazing work on the post sound, and the musical score. I couldn't be happier with that. After the film we had a panel with the cast. Lots of good questions were asked. 

The turn out was great, we had about 250-300 people there and they all seemed to really enjoy the film. 

The only time I like a line up, is when they are waiting to see my movie. 

Now its time to start putting the movie into festivals.

2D Cartoon Animator needed

We are looking for an artist to create a cartoon character and provide animation for our short film.

The character is Harold the Hare, a cartoon rabbit that is the embodiment of our main characters self doubt. Harold appears at the worst possible times and kicks our hero when he is down.

Our film is live action and we would like to add this animation seamlessly into our scenes. We will take care of the VFX part and tracking animation into the scene.

Harold will start small, but as the film progresses and our heros self doubt grows so will Harold until he is man sized. So we would want to see a slow progression of the character.

Style we are thinking similar to Ren and Stimpy, rough,. not particularly cute.

This is a big commitment, we are probably looking at 5-10 minutes of screen time, and as it is a indie feature there is no budget. Everyone in the production is volunteering their time. If fund raising is successful and we are able to pay everyone then that's great.

If you are interested please contact ryan@sigildigital.com with questions or ideas.

We are making a movie!!

Super excited to announce that we are making a short film in 2015.

Heaven or Whatever - Shane Koyczan - VFX project

I have been friends with Spoken word artist and Poet Shane Koyczan for many years, and we have always wanted to work on a project together. Finally we have something, Shane partnered with Director Stuart Gillies and they created a wonderful video to a piece that Shane wrote about relating to his Grandfather.

I was lucky enough to add some VFX elements to the short and work with Stuart and Shane directly. Hopefully we can do it again.

Enjoy the video and have some tissues on standby.
