In 2006 I started developing a short computer generated film called 'Devils, Angels and Dating'. This film was made with the internet in mind, fully aware of modern trends. I was inspired by modern dating trends and let those themes influence the core ideas behind the film.

Devils, Angels & Dating: Trailer

by Michael Cawood January 1, 2013 in 0 comments

During the development of 'Devils, Angels & Dating' I knew it was going to be very important to create a strong trailer to attract talent to work on the project. So the trailer was planned out early in the process. Storyboards from the film were cut together and a score was created so that we could plan around those shots getting done first. It was updated almost as often as the main film itself so that the team could see how it was coming along. It was completed about six months ahead of the completion of the final film.

Red vs Blue: Season 10

by Michael Cawood March 15, 2010 in 0 comments

I returned to Rooster Teeth for another stint on Red vs Blue, this time kicking off the new Maya department for Season 10.

Ark VFX: Company Reel

by Michael Cawood April 21, 2007 in 0 comments

I edited together two new showreels for Ark VFX, one short Teaser Reel and one longer Professional Reel. The main idea behind these was to show the breadth of Ark's portfolio whilst leaning it more in the direction of the character animation work they'd done but hadn't shown much of up to this point.
