Added my Animal Reel
I put together some shots of animals I've animated for Empire, Napoleon and most recently Shogun 2 and added it to the animation page. I'm also in the process of going through all the work I've just dome on Shogun 2, I worked predominately on the Horses so that will be pretty animal based in itself but with some combat thrown in! Soooooo many files............
Updated my Viking Reel
Now my new site is starting to take form I've updated my Viking reel and added it to Vimeo. I'm now waiting on the impending release of Shogun 2 before I can unleash some other new work.
A new look for simonjtridge.com and a new address
New site, swish! Felt it needed a makeover, little bit more blog than before to cater the amount of links I find everyday. Even if no one is actually following it........ So as of July 2011 I now also own simonridge.com. I Still have the old address in case people visit that one and the fact it saves me rendering out every video with that address on it all over again!
