It’s been a little while since we’ve had an update around here, so i thought i’d better let you all know about the situation as it is of the moment.


In respect to new tutorials - they are coming. I promise i will get at least one done over the Christmas period. The trouble at the moment is due to that of circumstances; my current residence does not lend itself well to quiet recording conditions, and secondly, i’m working an inordinate amount of hours a week as a computer scientist. I’ve had a number of requests in for the Rain Over Troubled Water tutorial and the Falling Drop sequence, the latter still being perfected and will almost definitely be released as a public tutorial. The former, i’m considering as an addition on the first (critically acclaimed) rhys-works.com dvd feature.


In addition to which, i’m waiting on footage which will be our first demo reel feature by a great vfx artist, which will hopefully be both entertaining and informative. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while and hope to run a sequence of reels with voiceovers on the site as and when i can get artists to do them (additionally, if you consider yourself such an artist, get in touch).


What else? Well, i’m working hard on Java programming lately for academic purposes, but as a side-line i’m working on developing some useful software some of which will be aimed at the film industry. No guarentees yet, but a few of the ideas i’m throwing around at this time are a mini-Massive and a standalone keyer. More to come on that eventually, i hope.


And more still, i’ve created my first Adobe After Effects plug-in. It currently doesn’t do very much, but the fact that it works comes as a small success. I’m still getting my head around the C++ API and will hopefully sometime in the future having something to offer you all in the shape of an AE plug-in.


I told you i was busy.
