Hello? Any ghosts still here?
I’ve started a new blog. This one is an animation production blog, and much more broad that just video games!

http://simoncottee.blogspot.com/

So I’ve been working on a music video for the past few months for Sydney based band The Model School.
Please check it OUUUUT!

I made it in flash!

I’m just a bad father aren’t I. :(

I’m sorry

Yahoo, I just finished my first strip in my new webcomic Rocks.
Check it out! Bookmark! YEAH! TELL YOUR FRIENDS! TELL YOUR ENEMIES EVEN! (they might hate it and then you will have dealt them a mighty blow)

ROCKS ROCKS ROCKS!!!

Here is a picture of a Seal I drew:

Here is a video of a bunch of animation tests for 09. Plenty of them are terrible but I want you to see the whole process!

Hey guys, I know I’ve been very absent recently. I’ve got the uni excuse but I’ve also got another!!!
I’m going to be starting a new project soon! I’ve been getting the site up and running the last few days and it’s all starting to come together. So please bookmark it as it is going to be underway real soon!

That’s right! I’m going to be starting a webcomic, something I have wanted to do for ages.

And here are some silly videos I’ve made recently!!!

And just hanging around at home:

Hey Cool Keiths! Here is a little very silent video of a 2D animated walk cycle I just threw together for uni.
It is a vampire! He is weirdly in the daylight though… mysterious?!

Program used: Toon Boom

Here we are! My first little indy animation, “School Band Odyssey”. I made this bad boy over my holidays so you better damn well enjoy it.

A school band “performs” the 2001 Space Odyssey theme with expected results.
(Also known as “Also Sprach Zarathustra”)
Animated in Toon Boom on like… 40s (lolol animator joke).

Audio file discovered at:

I’ve had this recording lying around for about a year now and had never done anything with it! I randomly found it in my “messy” folder. I’m pretty fond of it! I would love to do a whole CD of BioShock themed songs (obviously I would have to find the musicians because I can only play the start of “My Heart Will Go On” on piano).

Lyrics:

Adam, denies us any excuse to not be beautiful
Adam, you spliced me up beyond repair press V to hack my heart

Come with me big daddy don’t you cry
Your little sisters here and there’s an angel inside
Follow me big daddy don’t you hide
Would you kindly help me up where I can crawl inside

Adam, ??? to survive, ??? jacked in side, so watch them writhe (I apologise but I can’t remember the lyric and can’t figure it out, maybe you can?)
Adam, did you know that 9 out of 10 prefer the athletic man, of course you did

Follow me big daddy don’t you hide
Would you kindly help me up where I can crawl inside
Follow me big daddy don’t you hide
Would you kindly help me up where I can crawl inside
