The Secret of Kells Premiere

Last night was the premiere of the film "The Secret of Kells", a film I worked on for some time with the guys from The Cartoon Saloon. It was a great night and even better to see it on the big screen and to catch up with alot of the crew from the film. Congratulations once again to The Cartoon Saloon, and I would urge every one to head along and see the film from March 6th.

Check out the film website here

Myself and Tomm Moore tell Sarah Dillon of the Irish Film Board the next idea for a film.

Brendan Animation - Waves

Over the last few months I've been working on Brendan and the Secret of Kells with the guys at The Cartoon Saloon and here is some animation from the big storm sequence at the beginning of the film.  The Wave animation, which I was responsible for was produced in Toon Boom and Anime Studio. 

Other animators involved in the scenes are Barry Reynolds, who did the character animation, cleanup in the Kecskemét film, Hungary and Olivia Honan did the fire and smoke animation (in Flash) as Iona burns.

Brendan and his Secret

I am very close to finishing up on Brendan and the Secret of Kells, a feature we worked on with the lads and lassies at The Cartoon Saloon, and Tomm, the director has been keeping a great blog on the film, documenting the whole experience. Check it out here...

I looked after the efx in the film as well as the chocolate runs in the studio. I poached a still from Tomm's blog for here.
