Retribution Trailer

It's not very long.

Maybe I will do another one later.

My Corner at VCA

I'm going to miss this place. I going to miss it because after spending every waking hour of every day for the last 4 months stuck to this fuking chair constantly drawing people I could have just filmed I'm going to make damn sure I never go near it again!

The Ghost Hole

A comic I did at the 24 hr comic jam held on Thursday night as part of Inherent Vice at NGV.

The story is also partly responsible for Retribution so it was in my mind at the time. At one point I considered doing something like this as my animation. Would of been a hell of a lot simpler.

I think I spelt lonley wrong. Lonely?

Retribution Shoot Day 3

Child labor is supposed to be a cheap alternative to paying adults decent wages or anything at all. This one cost me a plane fair, chocolates, tickets to Harry Potter and a day at Luna Park. Everyone else was happy(enough) with a free lunch.







If people don't smoke then how do you see them in the dark?

Retribution Shoot Day 2

Computers fix everything.

Retribution Shoot Day 1

How good does Adrian look. I'm sure if I looked half as good as he does I'd be in a meaningful and rewarding relationship with some 24 yr old Brazilian art student instead of the patchy string of car-wrecks that I remember as relationships with girls who were so lonely that they'd go out with me only to justify their own self-loathing until they could find someone that they could show to their friends without cringing with embarrassment.

Having him on this is like finding a young Robert De Niro homeless and broke and begging for lose change in a doorway just when you need an actor for your student project.

I don't want him to know that I've spent the whole day writing his name all over my school ruler in three different colours of biro.



Here is Stephen waiting for his scene after asking "what's my motivation?" I had the boys from the camera department take him into the alley and kick the shit out him until he "felt" the role. breaking his arm might of been going a bit far but we can digitally remove that in post.

Actually Stephen is a very nice guy and important member of the art community. He has his own website. http://www.stephennallart.com/ He also did a great job of looking suitably distressed.



Computers are magic and will fix everything (like extending this wall). Just knowing people who will go home from their soul destroying jobs back to their unloving partners and their ugly children and stay up all hours of the night to digitally paint and correct, frame by frame, errors in your school assignment just so their name will flash onto a screen for a nano-second so that some day, some how, it may help them claw their way out of their miserable existence...well.. it's like living next door to Mexico.

Props

I've often planned to make my own cigarette labels for films but usually run out of time. Now that I've got people doing stuff for me I can just do the designs and they'll put it together.



This is a wallpaper design for Minnie's room. White Cara lilies were often seen as a symbol of purity and innocence and placed on the graves of children. The rare black Cara lily, a symbol of mystery and elegance, is used for goodbyes to the departed or lovers.
