I put together a new reel, it can be found at stephenblacker.com, or right here:

Cheers!

Just started working on effects concepts for a feature length film. Exploring the wonderful world of 3D shaders and texture animation.

Have a good one!

Seems that Dreamhost, the company that hosts my sites, has completely borked a server migration (data centre move), resulting in blackermusic.net being down. Seems like a great opportunity for me to redesign the site and add some new content. I’ll post here when it’s up and running again, hopefully Dreamhost will have it together by then…

Came across this today – awesome.  ;)

Not much time for personal projects lately;  I’ve been pretty busy working on commercials and PSAs at work for Eastlink, Bell Aliant, New Brunswick Regional Health Authority (Horizon) and Nova Scotia Department of Health, among other things.

My new and improved music/sound design production setup is almost complete – just need to get a new audio interface and MIDI keyboard/controller.  Portable is the theme this time around – I’m hoping that I can get out and play some stuff live again some time in the future.  As a result I’m selling off some hardware (synths and audio interface listed below), so if you know anyone who’s interested, give me a shout.

Working away on some TV commercials for Eastlink and a PSA.  Getting into the swing of things at the new job and also trying to find time to write a bit of music here and there.  Busy times!

I just signed on with Hatch Post in Halifax as their newest animator.  :-)

Currently working on some motion graphics design/animation at Hatch Post in Halifax.

Saw this posted over at kvraudio.com – pretty funny.  Apparently this is a screen capture from the TV show “Dollhouse” showing agents “analyzing” a phone call using Logic’s “Ultrabeat” drum machine plugin…
