TV Commercial for UWA’s New Wildlife Card

I completed an animated TV ad (TVC) for the Uganda Wildlife Authority (UWA), highlighting their new Wildlife Card, that is geared towards simplifying entry into all the Uganda National Parks. Watch out for it on Ugandan TV stations.

Above is the video used at the Launch event in Kampala on August 22nd, 2013, hosted by the US Ambassador and UWA Team.

Uganda Minister of Tourism Dr. Maria Mutagamba,the Permanent Secretary Ambassador Patrick Mugoya and the US amabassador to Uganda Mr. Scott De Lisi became the first recepients of UWA Wildlife cards during celebrations to mark 50 years of Kidepo Valley National Park.

My Tutorial Published in 3D Artist Magazine, Issue 58

I am super excited to share this news about a Tutorial I wrote for the 3D Artist Magazine, Gaming Issue 58. This was an opportunity made possible by the team at Faceware Tech. They reached out to me to share some insight into the experience of using their Facial Animation Software, Retargeter 4.0 & Analyzer.

Check out the insight I shared on Page 58, for the Facial Performance Capture of the Female reporter called ‘Peace Nantume” in the Galiwango Film, played by Cindy Sanyu.

Pacific Rim Film Poster Concept

This is my rendition of a Pacific Rim Movie Poster. The model was provided by Warner Bros and IGN.COM as part of their “Create Your Jaeger” Contest. I rigged and rendered the Gypsy Danger Jagger in 3DS Max. This movie looks awesome, so it was a joy to try to replicate the professional looking movie Banners they already have out. I can’t wait to watch the Film.
