"Cyclops" This is one of my longest films to date in which the character is walking home at night in a thunderstorm. He is struck three times by lightning and passes out. When he comes too, he finds he has the power to fire lasers from his eyes. Anyone notice the conection to x-men here? Anyway, enjoy.
"Photo Magc" is one of my all time favourate clips. Some of you may recognise the effect from an advert a few years ago and i'm planning on re-doing the effect with better lighting some time in the future.
"Shooting" This is a short film which i made with my brother Nick whilst we were with an animation company for the week. It involves no computer graphics what so ever but it is still quite cool and well worth a watch.
"Death by Spatula" is another very short film which my brother and I made with the same animation company. Its a very quick clip where i throw a splatula at my brother and it sinks into his chest. (No humans were hurt in the making of this clip)
"Skin" is quite a short clip and i'm not overly impressed with the result. It is a simple clip where the guy in on camera has a blue face, and thats about it.
"Balthazar" I'd wantd to work with fire for ages, and here I finaly had my moment. Notice that my face and hand are illuminated by the flame, its only a small detail but it realy helps to make the effect realistic.
"Super Speed" I was realy pleased with the way this clip turned out, even though the actual effect lasts less than 2 seconds. In this, the character is happily admiring the view when he notices he is late for a meeting or something. He then proceesd to run at super human speed, similar to the effect used in the searies "Smallville."

"Electric Click" This one i filmed ages ago but i wasn't good enough to use the lightning effect properly. Now i'm nuch better and heres my first propper shot at lightning.

"A quick clone" I made this for a Englsh speaking project on special effects, its short but its good.
"Mess Up Face" This was my dads idea and its not actualy cloning, its more of a trick with reflections but its got the same concept as cloning.
"Mirror Mirror" Same sort of idea as Mess Up Face but this was my idea, its more complicated and took much longer but i'll let you decide for yourself which is better.
"Clone Pass" This is a much more complex use of cloning where I pass an apple to my twin, or James as i have come to call him, and... thats about it but believe me it was hard to pull of. Actualy, I showed this video to a girl at school and we managed to convince her that James was a real person. She still believes it even now... poor Sam.

"A Hero is Born" I didn't realy expect to put a video to this, and i only did it so that i could do the matrix rain which yes was made by me. The video itself is only a short clip in which i practiced some slowmotion stuff. Its not amazing, but hey we've all gota start somewhere.

"OurWars episode I" I made this video way before i bought my special effects programs and it is done simply with a digital camera (not a video camera), paint, and Windows Movie Maker. Needless to say it's rubbish but it just shows how much i've improved from when i first started out. Btw, this is my first special effects video EVER!!!
"OurWars episode II" this is prety much the same as what i wrote above but this is the second video i ever made and it has my first attempt at force lightning. Don't worry it's much better now!
Now we're getting somewhere. This is the first video i made with my special effects programs and i only did it to try them out. It turned out much better than i expected and it is one of the best clips i've ever made. Later i added sound and music and here it is... "Bullets Adapted"
"OurWars episode IV" Here they are, my cousins... with lightsabers... a dangerous combination. Now i'm sure your wondering what happened to episode III, good question, i'm sure its around somewhere or i just never finished making it, but nevermind. Anyway like i said, this video stars my cousins and we had to flip a coin to decide who was gona get killed!!! who do u think its going to be???
"Force Jump" This clip was great fun to film. It shows the character looking up at the roof of his house and then using super powers jumps to an amazing height onto the roof.
"Space Battle" is one of the best clips I have ever done. I spent three days animating tie fighter after tie fighter to shoot at me but in the end it was definatly worth the work.

"Diablo Productions" This is my main logo which i designed as my profesional logo, the others are good but they are either rip offs or... well i can't think of a word for it but you get the idea.
"Roaring lion effects" This one was fun to make, and its never failed to get a laugh. It basicly tells people that if was my special effects which were put into the video.
"Chris Hetherington Presents" Ok, i can't denie it, this one is definatly a rip off. Bare in mind though that the only bits that arn't made by me are the music and the castle itself, and even that was only a single frame. The zooming is all me.
