sun day - group film

Sun Day from Derek Spencer on Vimeo.

I had the pleasure of working with 9 other extremely talented artists during my third year at Sheridan College for 8 months and this is the film we created.

I was the production manager and in charge of the bulk of the light effects seen in the film. I also did some character animation and lots of compositing. It was a wonderful experience and the best possible first introduction to working within a group that I could have asked for. I'm incredibly proud of my team, we worked our hearts out and I think it shows.

the helmet - student film

This is a trailer for my thesis film at Sheridan College.

I was fortunate enough to be given the opportunity to do my film in Stopmotion and I have to say I have fallen head over heels in love with the medium. It was a crash course in puppet making (a detailed breakdown of the puppet can be found here) and set and props making; I have never learned so much in such a short span of time. It was a wonderful experience and I cannot wait to do it all again someday!

I'm doing the festival thing right now so all I can post is a trailer, but check back soon for the full film!
