A couple of films I've worked on this year

The first trailer for Edge Of Tomorrow was released today. This is what I have been working on at Framestore for the past 3 months and also when I was last at Cinesite.



I  also got to work on 300: Rise of An Empire whilst at Cinesite for a month or two earlier in the year.

Until later...

Yes, I'm still around...

Sorry for the lack of updates, but there'll be something new fairly soon.

In the meantime, I've been working at Framestore for the past 2 months on the new Tom Cruise film; Edge Of Tomorrow (originally titled All You Need Is Kill). Funnily enough I was also working on the same film at Cinesite a while before starting at Framestore.

Hopefully see you all soon...

Looking for work again. New website and other stuff.

Reliance MediaWorks VFX has finally closed it's London offices. Oh, did I forgot to mention that I started work at Reliance as their senior texture artist almost two months ago (working on Michael Bay's Black Sails TV series) - I replaced their leaving lead texture artist. So... it looks like I'm looking for work, again. Anyone hiring?

In other news I have taken down Unearthedart.com, and replaced it with a temporary version until I get a proper version of the website up and running. A re-design was well overdue; I last updated the design about 7/8 years ago.

I've updated my showreel with some of the work I did on World War Z. It's still private for the time being but will be public sometime soonish. I'll be sure to post it then.

My Living Dead Girl III (3) is almost complete. I'm hoping to put the finishing touches to her in the coming week. I just have a few lighting tweaks to make (it's looking way better than the last render I posted), and one or two changes to make to the blood and hair, etc. I'll also try and create a decent breakdown of the character.

I've put that stylized character of mine on hold for now - I have something new planned that I'm more excited about. I finished off most of the texturing on her (I'll post my last progress sometime). Lost a bit of interest on her when I started planning my next character... that's the way it goes I guess. I hope I re-visit her though, as I was enjoying working on her. Perhaps a break will do her good. Let see...

Until the next update...

World War Z trailer... Finally!

Finally a trailer for World War Z - the last film that I worked on at Cinesite. There's a reasonable amount of my work in there as well:

I'm really looking forward to this and I'm so glad that it's actually moving forward now and getting released.

Latest Showreel!

Showreel HD July 2012 from Gary Newman on Vimeo.

This is my latest showreel which I can finally reveal. It's an updated version of my older private showreel.  The work in this reel is made up from the past 3 years work whilst I was at MPC and Cinesite. It features some of my work on John Carter, Harry Potter and the Deathly hallows: Part 1, Clash of the Titans, Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time and Robin Hood.

Andrew Stanton interview

Someone sent this link around work today to a really interesting interview with Andrew Stanton (the director of John Carter), where he talks about Martian History and the upcoming John Carter film.

Have a read as it's really good.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

There's a rather interesting article over at fxguide.com detailing a lot of the work done on the most recent Harry Potter film: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

It breaks down most of the work done by the various studios that worked on the films. There's even two breakdown images of the caravan I textured whilst I was at MPC.

I haven't updated in ages...

Okay so most of you have probably forgotten by now that I have a blog. And I honestly don't blame you, seeing as how I haven't updated in ages. I promise you that I have been working, quite hard, to finish off my Punk Girl. I'll post some images sooooon.

In the meantime I have updated Unearthedart.com with some shots taken from the  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1 "Epic Finale" Featurette. I did the texturing of the caravan (1:45 into the clip) in case you were wondering. I also did some digi-double work, unfortunately that's not in the featurette.
