Brand New Computer!!!!!

Well, earlier this week I was lucky enough to finally receive my new sexy beast of a computer. It's custom built by my good friend Xuan and all in all, it wasn't all that expensive. For roughly 550, 580, somewhere around there, I got 8GB of ram, Intel Core 2 Quad, GeForce 9600 GSO, 64 bit OS, 750 GB HDD, and oh so much more. I love it and I can't wait to start doing more animations with it.

NEW WEBSITE LAUNCHED!!!

It's finally up, my new website, I know it took slightly longer than I had anticipated, but hey, it's here now and it looks good. I'm so excited to have the new layout and color scheme. So enjoy the new website and let me know what you think. I have big plans for this website and I don't plan on getting rid of it anytime soon. So check it out at ShannonDS.

New Logo and Stuff!!

Lots of new things are happening this week. I've finally re-branded myself so I've got a brand spankin new logo and business cards. Also, my new website should be up and running before the end of tomorrow and man does it look sweet! I've also started to work on some more images, both character art and graphic designs, so look for lots of new updates soon. Oh, almost forgot, here's the new logo and business cards. Peace.

Speed Paint Much!!

Well, I've decided that I wanna get better with painting so I'm starting with some speed painting. Looks like I got some ways to go, hehe.

Granted this website is only temporary, I should have the new complete flash greatness multi gallery, etc website uploaded within the next two weeks. Till then, check out my reel and enjoy. Oh, almost forgot, the website is http://www.shannonds.com.

Cut&Paste Chicago 09

Well last saturday I went to the Chicago Cut & Paste Design tournament and had a pretty good time. I enjoyed seeing the artists compete and hearing the crowd cheer em on as the night went by. Got to see some interesting workflows and concepts. Out of the 2D, 3D, and Motion contest, I gotta say motion was by far the most interesting, granted we weren't allowed to really see their workflow since their competition was 8 hours long compared to everyone else's 20 minutes. Congrats to all the winners. Anyway, here are a couple pics from the event, maybe next year I'll actually compete, hehe. For more info go to cut&paste.









I wonder how much it would cost for one of those huge 50 foot flat screens?

Satellite Eyes

Satellite Eyes from Shannon Daniell-Segilola on Vimeo.
Here's the newest project I've been working on. It's a motion graphics animation called Satellite Eyes. I was inspired by the opening sequence to the Call of Duty 4 Video game, so I decided to make my own version of the opening. I really wish I could upload the full resolution version of this, a lot of color gets muddled and lost at this low resolution size, oh well. Enjoy!!!
