An American Monster Geek in London: January 2013

http://kevfx.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html

Sunday, January 27, 2013. A Visit to the World of Harry Potter. It's no secret that I'm a bit of a Harry Potter fan. I first came to London to work on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone back in 2000. It was a great thrill when Warner Bros announced that they were going to have a Harry Potter attraction up at their Leavesden Studios in honor of this very successful film franchise that spawned 8 films over 12 years. From Delores Umbridge's, creepily pink office. . . To Dumbledore's lofty office. As they...

An American Monster Geek in London: March 2013

http://kevfx.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html

Saturday, March 9, 2013. AS a result of the redundancies at Double Negative, a series of events ensued, and I was contacted by Walt Disney Feature Animation. At the beginning of January, I accepted their offer to return to Los Angeles and take up work at their studio. For our last weekend in London, Tony and I celebrated some of our favorite restaurants, and also went to see the newest skyscraper in London - The Shard. I hope that we will all have the opportunity to work together again. We took the morni...

An American Monster Geek in London: Ireland - Belfast - The Titanic

http://kevfx.blogspot.com/2013/03/ireland-belfast-titanic.html

Sunday, March 3, 2013. Ireland - Belfast - The Titanic. We took the morning train from Dublin to Belfast. It was inexpensive, and we'd set up our return flight to fly out of Belfast. We were staying right across the street from Belfast City Hall - the site of many an uprising in the past weeks just prior to our trip. Luckily, all was very peaceful the weekend we were there. The Albert Memorial Clock Tower is a very cool Victorian structure. It has a bit of a lean however. The most famous ship that they b...

An American Monster Geek in London: Los Angeles - New Beginnings

http://kevfx.blogspot.com/2013/04/los-angeles-new-beginnings.html

Tuesday, April 9, 2013. Los Angeles - New Beginnings. I started my new job at Disney a week after my return to LA. It was a fun first couple days filled with Corporate niceness as only Disney could deliver. We had a day of orientation complete with a free lunch. Animation has moved to new digs, so I won't be seeing dailies in this historic theater. Instead, I will be working here! And of course my very own Disney name tag. Classic!

An American Monster Geek in London: March 2012

http://kevfx.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

Tuesday, March 13, 2012. John Carter Wraps and Premiere. John Carter is complete and finally out. As the film is what brought me to London, it will always mean something to me. I'm proud of the effects in it. I think we did a good job. We had a cool wrap party in the main hall of the London Natural History Museum. It is a beautiful venue for an event like this. Andrew Stanton came over to attend and thank the artists, which was very nice of him. Labels: John Carter of Mars. Saturday, March 10, 2012.

An American Monster Geek in London: Ireland - Dublin - The Quick Tour

http://kevfx.blogspot.com/2013/02/ireland-dublin-quick-tour.html

Sunday, February 24, 2013. Ireland - Dublin - The Quick Tour. We basically had 1 solid day in Dublin, so we hit most of the sites with the exception of the Guiness Storehouse in that one day. Dublin is a beautiful old city filled with history and all of the major sites are situated on a big traffic loop serviced by a tourist "Hop On/Hop Off" bus. We purchased a 2 day pass, which we used for the time we were there. I learned how to make an Irish Coffee, which involves placing some sugar in the base of a c...

An American Monster Geek in London: June 2012

http://kevfx.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html

Sunday, June 17, 2012. Budapest - St. Stephen's Basilica. St Stephen's Basilica is a beautiful large cathedral that Hungarian's take great pride in. It is named for St. Stephen who as king, brough Christianity to the Magyar People. It is a real jewelbox with a beautiful altar. And a magnificent dome. It isn't the largest church I've visited in Europe, but it is a beautiful tasteful and impressive church. And in a small reliquary that you pay to have a light illuminate. Budapest's History in Statues.

An American Monster Geek in London: Saying Goodbye to London

http://kevfx.blogspot.com/2013/04/saying-goodbye-to-london.html

Tuesday, April 2, 2013. Saying Goodbye to London. The time to say goodbye to London and some dear, dear friends finally arrived. I spent my last week having lunches with lots of friends and wandering around some of the streets which had become so familiar over the last 3.5 years. In all, I managed to hit 16 countries in my time in Europe, and the magnet board I setup when I first got here is full. It was a fun, if cold evening and a memorable time. It was a great evening of fun and friends. Pepper seemed...
