I don't post much
I don't blog much, I'm sure that is clear. But I do spout a lot in real life. I will try to blog more, but also I am using twitter for much CG/3D related fun.

I'm slowly working on a couple of personal projects and I have a few jobs from catch up on so I will add them soon too.

Santander Lewis Hamilton Commercial
And here it is, from my previous post, here is the ad I have been working over xmas at The Mill, since the start of December.
I was on the job from the start (which is always favourable) and as such did a variety of things. I spent a bit of time building the bridge through some scripts that I wrote.
These scripts duplicated nulls along the main curve of the bridge with the correct spacing so we could place particles (ICE) instanced objects (the bricks..) on those nulls. Also some lighting and rendering and scene setup and what not! The usual.
Also I was working with my old pal from uni Aidan Gibbons (we made Diversion together at uni)

Work
Trying to work out what I have done over the last year. So since I have been at The Mill in London since June, I have worked on a few commercials - for 2/3 months I was on one specific one that was will not air now unfortunatly, as you do.
Anyway I worked on this ad for a couple of weeks. I did a wee bit of camera work but mostly I worked on the shaders/lighting/rendering of the ball, also the water splashes from the balls so not too much eh
Here it is:
Mostly I get to work with my old pal from Uni, Aidan who I made Diversion with. And currently we are working on an interesting ad which should be airring in January so I will have something to show from that one.

Rigging stuff
It has been quite a few years since I have done any enveloping, and even then not in XSI - so I’m pleased with the results so far here

PreVis
I can’t be posting the ol’ previs, don’t want to spoil that of course, but here are some stills. The timecodes are added in the editor, and the shot numbers are added in XSI with a wee script I wrote which gets the name of the Sequence/Shot etc. from a custom paramater (that is made/used) [...]

Restaurant Food
Food from Simon Reeves on Vimeo.
Heres a shot with a focus pull showing some food in the restaurant scene.
For the focus pull, I wanted to test scaling on the defocus (as it looks cool)

We originally found out about it a couple of years ago when Diversion was shown - and we went again last night and will continue to go hopefully (despite [...]
