July 3 : 2008 At this juncture, summer of shifting winds, we are wrapping up several long term projects which includes a Flash application for Alberta Transportation and a large print resource for the College of Dental Hygienists.. A grade 6 print resource and flash site for Alberta Municipal Affairs is completed and goes live. The print and flash media projects falls inline with the new social studies curriculum on building communities through local government. Rumour is that it is up for a Premiere’s award. We are beginning development on a fairly robust 3D project which involves creating 17 Alberta fish species, 12 mammals and 13 birds. The base mesh is assembled in Lightwave 3D and details sculpted in zbrush, lots of wholesome 3D modeling.

March 25 : 2008 Perry Shulak, along with Steve Gilmour - lead animator with Bioware EA, and Jill Bonefant - Access Network will be Judging animation entries for the upcoming Banff Film Festival. I am thrilled with the opportunity to be a participant and equally thrilled that Steve and Jill will be involved. I look forward to screening the sure to be fabulous local and international entries.

September 14, 15 and 16 : 2007 I attended the Story Development Seminar at NAIT, and was enlightened by the direct presentation of Robert McKee. It was a rare experience to have an luminary on story development for film and television in Edmonton. In truth it is not an area of industry that our province is particularly strong, and if this program spurs one writer to create one great production then it could ripple forth. Last time Robert presented here was almost 10 years ago and very likely this may be his final visit to our city.

June 21 : 2007 Congrats to the sucess of the documentary "Homefront" produced by Reel Girls Media. We participated by providing After Effects graphics animation for the production.

May 9 : 2007 We continue to be progressively busy on projects that include long-document print layout design, Flash application development, Macromedia Director application development for delivery on CD Rom and a good helping of illustration work. With the release of all the new CS3 products, I'm ultimately giddy with Flash 9 and Photoshop CS3. Along with client projects, work on a Graphic Novel and branding project is underway. Stay tuned for a new site and domain to evolve soon that will reveal the specifics of this facinating venture.

March 2 : 2007 This is the busiest time of the year with the progressive run to complete projects for Alberta government year end. Old projects and new projects are in development. Our first overseas project comes from Scotland through Nicole Sheedy of Digital Harmony. We are developing a Flash presentation that promotes the expansion of a sports facility in Kilwinning. Have to support football, great sport and a great project to be involved in.
