We have been working with Char Hoyt, adding new animation based on her drawings to the front page of her Assballs website. March 13, 2004 We just finished five illustrations for Pilkington Glass to promote their Mirropane one-way windows. Four black-and-whites will accompany technical bulletins on their website and the colour one will be part of their printed advertising.Baggage Inspection (b/w) Kindergarten (b/w) Police Line (b/w) Shoplifter (b/w) Passport Control (colour) February 29, 2004 Keith just posted a creepy little animation he did this weekend called Birdbot. It came from something in his sketchbook and got its start thanks to too much coffee. It may be heavy to run so right click and select a lower quality if it's too slow. The default is medium.February 24, 2004 A site we completed for Red Star Inline Hockey League is now up and running. We also designed a poster for the league which is here.Again, thanks to Tim Gerwing for stepping in to do the main programming. February 19, 2004 The Gold Star Productions site is up. Be sure to check out the video clips at the top, the QT downloads in their What We Have Done section and the animated trailer for The Yearning that we produced for Gold Star last year.Tim Gerwing has provided us with an excerpt from one of his brilliant compositions for the intro theme. February 14, 2004 Finishing up a major branding/website effort for Gold Star Productions as they move into their new building and head into big-time movie production. Congratulations, Gold Star! We look forward to the premiere of the new brand identity, building and website later this month.We were able to concentrate on the look and interactivity of the project thanks to Tim Gerwing who took on the trickier bits of new programming and really came through for us. He will also be doing the music for the Gold Star intro. Take a look at the new website of William Maher, our animation mentor. The man is extremely talented. We now move on to a re-design of the website for the Kay Meeks Centre for the Performing Arts, a beautiful new facility being built in West Vancouver. We're lucky enough to be working on that under the art direction of local design master Kent Maclagan. We also have some illustration projects in the works and are trying (really!) to get a re-vamp of this site soon. February, 2004 I wanted to try some under-water lighting effects and came up with this little submarine animation. Naturally, it got longer and more complex as I tackled different effects shots (lighting, explosion and bubbles) but I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. Still needs some sound. January, 2004 We have been contracted to animate the comic strips of local artist Char Hoyt. This came about through the lucky coincidence of being fans of her strip and her spotting us wearing a T-shirt with her characters on it.
We pitched her the idea of animating her characters and made up a short demo to convince her, with Tim Gerwing contributing some perfect music.
She didn't need much convincing, as it turns out, and once we'd experimented with some stylistic approaches to find one that best captures her strip's painterly characteristics, we got started on the first episode.
December, 2004 I really wanted to get that Flash animator position at Atomic Cartoons but I never heard back from them. Was my test animation that bad? August 17, 2003 Solved that problem with some Java help from a good friend and excellent programmer, Tim Gerwing. Flash showcase now functioning the way it should. August 16, 12:30am, 2003 Success! Managed to figure out the problem and get the Flash showcase loading. Haven't cracked getting it to load into a separate window, or why the new window is bigger than the one called in the code, but that's next. August 15, 2003 Discovered that we've been updating an older index page that had no link to the Flash showcase! I've been working like crazy to re-establish links but the Flash showcase link remains elusive. I'll get it done in the next day or two as soon as I can get in touch with one of my HTML gurus. I hate to think that the last two jobs we've applied for didn't contact us because of broken links...
August 10, 2003 Gold Star Productions has hired us to redo their logo and website. There is a lot of video and other content to work into it, so the site is going to be complicated. They liked one of the logos we presented so we have that settled at least. We're happy with the one they chose. Kind of has a 'hero' feel to it. We look forward to linking to that from here once both sites are finished. August 8, 2003 The new site, all done in Flash, is well under way. The complexity of including three different portfolios in one site with clear categories and simple navigation certainly presented some design challenges. We won't be adding new content to the current site from this time. Instead, we're concentrating on getting the new site ready for upload and that will include all the recent projects. In the meantime, here are some links to animations that, until now, you haven't been able to link to from the site. forestwalkThe Jellotor Project desert moon (landscape inspired by G.Herriman) wings robot parade July 2003 We were hired by a local music producer, Mark Nazemi, to create a CD cover for his latest project, a new-Goth band called Perfect Cell. Mark and the band liked what we did and contracted us to develop the artwork further and produce the band's website. You can find the finished site, with sound effects and song samples, at www.solidbass.com/perfectcell.May 2003 We had four animated sequence broadcast coast-to-coast on CBC television in April. They were opening credits for three of four episodes of "Under The Cover", a four-part comedy-drama produced by our friends at Gold Star Productions here in Vancouver. The fourth was a cut-away scene within one of the episodes. All were created in Flash and all will be included in the new site when that is ready.We completed a Flash animation intro to a website for Johnny Bagpipes, a Canadian stand-up comic who combines the best of big-hair metal with bagpipe music. No, really! He's pretty good! Our animation of his rock 'n' roll fantasy can be found here: www.johnnybagpipes.com We are completely redesigning the site in Flash (finally!) and will have more of our Flash animation at the forefront, as well as updated artwork and drawings, our interactive portfolio and a more comprehensive links page. For those of you new to our site, please keep in mind that, with projects being completed regularly, it can never be truly up to date. We intend to show here some of our individual work, as well as work done as a team, to demonstrate the skills that each of us bring to Ikeda-Barry Creative. In order to ease downloads, we have adapted short sequences of animation to play as GIFs. In the process of lightening the file size, some of the timing may have changed. Please feel free to reach us with questions or comments via the Contact page. References and their contact information may also be found there. Thank you for taking the time to visit.
