ALL NEWS

Last month I completed some motion graphics for AFLPA (the AFL Players Association). I worked with AKA Nancy Vaudeville to create a motion graphic intro and animated lower third for a new documentary about the history of the association. The documentary used a lot of old photographs, newspaper clippings and magazine covers so we decided to go with a grungy ‘old film’ style for the graphics. Inspiration was drawn from the movies ‘Stranger Than Fiction’, ‘Up in the Air’ and some others.

Video coming soon.

A couple weeks ago I created a toy for Vimeo. Vimeo toys a basically an interesting way to visualise a live activity feed. I’m excited to say that they loved my toy and they have featured it in their forums. You can view the toy by clicking the image above, or see the forum post here.

I’m please to launch my new dedicated blog site at www.purplesquirrels.com.au. I decided to move my blog onto its own site with a new WordPress installation and using a proper theme. I created my own custom WordPress theme and copied some of the old posts from the blog on this site as some starting posts. The new blog now displays Flash and code properly and can be embedded directly into the posts, the posts are now searchable and more search engine friendly. It is all now much more organised and accessible. I have also linked the blog to display latest posts below, with the titles now linking to the actual posts rather than the general blog.

Recently I have completed some motion graphic work for a short film called Forlorn Gaze. I worked with the creator at Nancy Vaudeville and graphic director at Symphonic Pixels to composite graphics and effects onto stop motion pieces for the intro title sequence, three logo idents throughout the film, and a news report intro. The film is to be shown at the Cannes Film Festival in May.  For more information on Forlorn Gaze see here.

Nemen Visual is pleased to launch the new Ballarat Y.C.W. website, for a running club in Ballarat, Victoria. This website uses Joomla! as a content management system and features a Flash ‘coverflow’ style image gallery and full screen photo backgrounds. Check it out by click the above image, or here.

I’m pleased to finally be launching my new website. I have rebuilt the site from the ground up and is now fully integrated with WordPress as a CMS. The design has also been refreshed to tie in with new Nemen Visual branding I am creating.

Nemen Visual has just launched the new website for Emma Sher Jewellery. The artwork and functionality was designed by Metafork, and the development done by myself. The website is a simple html website but makes use of WordPress for the news page. You can visit the site by clicking the image above.

Currently I am working on reorganising the home page and a few other areas of the site, which you will see take shape progressively over the next few weeks. As you can see I have added a brief blog roll on the right which links to the main blog, as well as this news section which displays only the most recent post. The ‘more news’ link below will take you to older posts.

I decided to separate my personal blog and Nemen Visual news for better organisation and to make it easier to find stuff.

Recently I had the pleasure to work with Courtney from Symphonic Pixels creating motion graphics for the 2009/2010 Falls Festival in Lorne, Victoria. I was involved in animating the ‘Falls TV’ motion logo and a number of segment titles aswell.

The motion logo can be found here,

And many of the Falls TV episodes can be found here.

I have connected this blog to Facebook, so everytime I post something on here it should appear in my FB news feed. And now into something completely different… here is a cool video:
