So what is happening here and in my life. First of all the site has got some content updates, mostly here on the homepage with all my contactlinks. I try to be quite active everywhere else than here, posting updates haha. That’s why my twitter were added, atleast there you can see some stuff of what I’m up to, sometimes.

So as far for work, my internship at Ghost ended early June and I graduated from IAA. I wish I get the chance to come back both to Ghost and IAA in the future. During the summer I have been working in Trollhättan for Copenhagen Bombay, on their animated feature movie The Great Bear.

I have also had the time to do the CGworkshop, Realflow in production by Allan Mckay and currently doing the FXPHD for Realflow 5. We’ll see when I get my time around to upload some new FX and R&D stuff, for the near future I will be working on some new stuff for my reel.

So some cool stuff to be seen soon, until then have a great time! (and “Like” my stuff)

Caspian @ Debaser, Malmö 2010

Ok, so it was a while since I updated, as usual. Since I started at Ghost in January I have been doing FX for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. First week I was in chock and thought I would have a melt-down of the pressure I gave myself. The first project I was assigned to, ever, would be a Bruckheimer-movie.

But when everything had sinked in, it felt much better, and the team I’m working with have been so great and always willing to help and support with good feedback.

Other than movie-work, I got myself into learning Realflow this week and will continue to expand my skills in that software for the next coming weeks. The plan is to get an R & D section on the site, so hopefully I will be uploading lots of stuff there in the future aswell as beeing better on update this News section.

Since I posted my reel, a lot have happened.  I have had ten week of diploma work (or what may be the correct translation), the project will soon be uploaded, still minor comp left. My part of the work have been to do the FX so I chose to learn Max with Particle Flow and FumeFX, which I had never used before. It have been a quite challenge to learn and produce quality stuff in a totally fresh program, although a very good and useful experience.

Other than that, I will start my internship tomorrow. I got my position at Ghost VFX in Copenhagen, so since Tuesday I live in Malmö. I think it will be great, I’m really excited about it.

Until next time, have a good one!

The frequency of updates here haven’t been that great.  It doesn’t necessary mean I haven’t done anything, haha.

This summer I have been working on a sharp project with client, Stiga.  The project have been a good experience and I feel I have learned a lot.

The clip of the visualization will come up later this or next month.

Other than that I have this summer tried to learn studio max with Fume and Afterburn, cause that’s the way to go with the fluids I have noticed…we’ll see when something of that will be uploaded asweell.

Me and my friend Jonne have a new sideproject in the kettle. I uploaded my concept for the project and went home last weekend to take some photos to use as background and lighting.

Considering the concept and the not yet to be told, idea, I have a really good vibe for this project, think it will be awesome.

Until next time, have a good one.

So finally today I got my little reel for the FMX conference finished. It consists of different projects I’ve been doing the last six months.

I realised tonight when my reel was finished that the CGworkshop in lighting and rendering, starts tomorrow. Really exciting.

And on tuesday the trip to stuttgart for FMX starts, a really awsome week indeed.
