Rejoice!
For what you see before your very eyes is the sporadically updated portfolio of me, Ciaran O Connor. Imaginatively named after myself, I hammered together some CSS & imagery of jubilation to bring you something full of dubious joys and questionable delights from my world of work & assorted play.

That's right, 4 months of nothing aside from a whole barrel-load of New Work for Ableye, Freeloader Productions and Mentor Digital, meaning I've been hectic with the Motive feature, due to come out in the autumn.
Motion graphics = done.
Menus = done.
Filming = almost done.
What else? My Flickr account is almost ready to take over the world in all its analogue glory. Almost, still some new tactics, manoevres and steez to be finished off. Cross processing and Holga RPRZNT!

Since finishing up at Endemol at the end of January, I've been super busy with a shitload of stuff. Personal projects, collaborations and work to keep the money flowing, that's why they call it currency*. Anyway, here's a few screengrabs of various concepts, works in progress and recent jobs, which may, or may not
be of interest to folks like yourself. Enjoy!

Hello and welcome to January. Tons of fun to be had by all, room for everybody. Just a handful of random non-updates - clearing out some old documents and found an old teaser I did for the ASM Lisbon DVD ages back and promptly forgot clean about. And I've eventually sorted myself out with a Flickr account along with a Holga with its tasty MF goodness. Just gotta get me first roll back from the developers first.

Gav Strange is really talented at all that design & illustration stuff. He's also got a keen eye and knows what looks good, proving his taste & decorum by linking to this site to tell the world just how excellent my showreel is. He's the chap who did the 50-50 cuckoo clock board graphic I animated - what a champ!

Behold! The all-singing, all-dancing crap of the world - new site, new content, new start. Great Time & Effort has been spent experiencing the "joy" of CSS coding to pull this monumental monument together to inform, excite & enthrall...
View and experience joy at the current incarnation of my showreel. Lots of motion graphics delights for your very eyes, including some new steez n' cheez like some 16x9 versions of the frankly epic Savoir Faire title sequence - a delectable smorgasbord of visual food for your soul.
Wonder in awe at the new Work section.
Hoot your trap off and communicate your darkest thoughts, dreams and messages of delight to this like-minded goon.
Patience brother while the play section gathers steam.
And finally - check me out and chill.

Savoir Faire premieres went off, people are stoked and ready to part with their hard earned cash - DVDs are available from such fine emporiums like Native, Mischief, Note, Slam City, Ideal & more, so get on down with your bad self and sort yourself out with a shiney, fine copy of your own. In the meantime, the Big Push is done & dusted - a week in a minivan with those fine men from The Harmony, skating, dodging the rain and filming a shitload. Still got a broken wrist though, stoked - the cast comes off next week...

Slacking? No. Busy? Yes. In the intervening 6 months since the last formal update here, Wolfstadt has been released on DVD, complete with a god damn almighty edit in the extras by me, The Quest for the Wager project is finished, I've shot some HD skate footage for an upcoming Microsoft ad by Rubberductions, given a masterclass in skate videos at the Watershed and the deadline for the epic Savoir Faire has been called and now it's down to me to get the motion graphics, DVD menus and packaging designed by the end of the month -like fuck that will happen on time...
Once the epic Savoir Faire is done with, it'll be fun times to be had by all. Next up is a new demo reel - the old one really is a sack o' shite - a site redesign - this one really is a sack o' shite - which I promptly forgot about coz I really am a sack o' shite. So no change there then...
