Ok so this is yet another of my guides which is aimed at helping a bunch of people who have asked me about basic photography recently. When taking a photograph using any camera, you are aiming to get a good and even exposure out of an image. The settings on your manual camera allow you change how much light enters your camera, and how it falls on the CCD chip. The Read More
So this is my first tutorial for a long while. And it's not so much a tutorial but more of a guide - I won't be giving specific instructions, but just general advice. I've been asked a number of times about Colour Correction, so I thought I'd share the love. This tutorial will be about Colour Balancing, NOT Colour Grading, which are totally different things. 1. Colour Balancing - Is fixing colour Read More

This is just a post of me gloating about how incredible the effects are in Tron Legacy. The effects were tight and really transport you to a completely new world, which nicely updates on the effects of the original movie. It's great seeing the before and after shots too...check out the bike they used on set in place of the light cycles :) Digital Domain VIP

Rationale Productions came to me with a very specific set of goals which they wanted to fulfill. They wanted a flashy new website to act as the hub of everything that they do. A portfolio, a blog, some bios and a place to interact with all their fans. I created them a website which uses no flash and brings in all of these elements. It becomes the center of their social Read More

Jon Cooper is a very talented man from 'somewhere down south' who creates strange and weird soundscapes and minimalist music tracks. His music at times has the soft ambient sonic scapes of M83, and at times the harsh grinding of John Murphy. One thing is sure though, he always surprises. We have already collaborated on a couple of projects together, 'First Breath After Coma' and the upcoming 'Mother'. He also did some work for Read More
