Animation Reel 2010 from Michael Smith on Vimeo.

This Reel was thrown together quickly specifically for a job at one company.  Unfortunately I didn't land the gig.  I apologize for the bad compression on some of the videos.  I also need to figure out a cool way of showing, in the reel, how technical I've become as well with Scripting and Rigging.

Welp...I've finally returned to the graveyard of old animations I call my website.  As you can see (if you've been here before) I'm giving it a complete overhaul and changing it to a blog type format.  Should make it easier for me to post more regularly.

OMG!  Please do NOT tell me I let 1 and a half years go by without a SINGLE update!

I swear, time is going by faster and faster.

After watching Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, it reminded me of my old Transformer days and inspired me to actually do a website update.

K, to save face I'm going to cheat.  I'm going to add a 2008 page as if I'd been doing updates all along (plus I enjoy looking back on my career timeline so I'd like to keep that going).  We all know that I did no updates from 2007 till now, but we'll keep the illusion that I update the site every few months.

So make sure you check out the 2008 page for a bunch of new stuff.

LucasArts’ Fracture is out!  It’s available at fine retail stores everywhere.  Go pick up a copy now and experience the joys of terrain deformation!  ;)

Ha-ha…I love this one.  Another animation I did for the 11 second club.  The trouble was I used up all my time animating the little kid’s dance and had to throw the father in at the last minute.  But I had fun animating the kid at least.

You can view it on YouTube.

K, I started this animation much earlier in the month so I could actually finish it for the 11 second club.  So here you go…a new finished animation!

You can view it on You Tube.

Holy cow!  I just got back from Target where I picked up my copy of Ben 10: Race Against Time on DVD.  As you know I animated Grey Matter in the film and had a lot of fun doing it.  I don’t think I’ll ever get over the cool feeling of seeing your work up on a shelf available to purchase. 

P.S. Oh, and just as an aside, I did a small sequence of animated disco dancing guinea pigs that you can check out on Nickelodeon’s movie Shredderman Rules! which you can also check out on DVD. (It was a very small clip that I haven’t gotten around to posting here)
