Hey guys, just spreading the word here! Aaron Sims, the guy you all love for his amazing work on recent hit movies like 'Transformers: Dark of the Moon', 'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' and 'Clash of the Titans' (still one of my favorites) has his new 'Directors' site up, where he shows the projects he directed himself. You should definately check out the trailer of his upcoming short 'Archetype'. On the site you will also be able to watch his full short 'Paralyzed'.
Aaron is a character designer or conceptual artist and digital effects artist. He has worked on all the major Hollywood blockbusters of the last two decades. He worked with Rick Baker's Cinovation Studios and Stan Winston. Working with SoftImage and Photoshop, and combining his knowledge of computer technology with his experience as a sculptor made him the lead character designer on Spielberg's 'Artificial Intelligence', which changed the the industry's design process. He co-created Stan Winston Digital and led the studio, working on films as 'Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow' and 'Constantine'. He now runs the 'Aaron Sims Company', which worked on films such as 'The Incredible Hulk' and '30 Days of Night'. Among his team are Jerad S. Maranz (lead artist), Alex Mandrajiev (concepts/storyboards), Tsvetomir Georgiev (main modeler) and Joel Chang (head environment designer).
If you like to learn more about Aaron Sims or his approach to creature design, you should definately check out the training dvd's he did for Alex Alvarez' Gnomon Workshop. They include demonstrations with Photoshop, XSI (SoftImage), Deep paint and Z-brush. Excellent stuff!
