[drupal=751]Things You Were Too Afraid to Ask: Jeremy ‘pinflux’ Hay[/drupal]

Do not adjust your monitors - you are actually looking at an all-new, oven-fresh installment of our elusive series of staff interviews. Media Artist and full-time New Zealander Jeremy ‘pinflux’ Hay is front and center in this one, spilling his guts about his job at Splash Damage and how he got here. Among a myriad of other things, Jeremy’s been responsible for a lot of the Brink media you’ve been seeing and works tirelessly to help us spread the Splash Damage myth to previously undiscovered corners of the internet.
To find out more about Jeremy, his doings around the office, his journey from classical animation to Brink, and his shady Kiwi past, check out the full interview in his profile. It’s very nearly free of references to Lord of the Rings. We promise.

I’d be curious to get pinflux’ opinion on the Dead Island trailer.

I remember watching Entropy at Mukpuddy’s flipbook with Todd in NZ :slight_smile:

Awesome short that everyone should watch!

Small world :stuck_out_tongue:

Thanks for the link to Entropy. Very interesting animation. Good stuff.

The screenshots for Brink are much more than just showcases of the art, or tech demos. Love 'em!

extremely short “interview”.
no dev contrib highlights.
no gamedev opinions.
no secret insight&etc.
so aside from being used in resume, practically pointless[2 read].
quick jump into biography and few lean-rolls[in fire] asides and thats all.

The Brink artwork looks fantastic!
I’m going to have to check out your animation work.
Hope you’re Family and Friends in NZ are OK after the equake…

A fellow New Zealander!

What part of the country are you from?

(Pinflux) #9

Cheers guys!

DarkAngel - Hah! Interesting question… The buzz it created certainly showed that it resonated universally on some level. I may or may not have welled up a bit watching it.

Shiv - No way! That was a fun night :smiley:

cepwin - Thanks man - I have a few family members down in Christchurch. One cousin was actually inside a building that collapsed, but she was rescued with no serious injuries.

crazyfoolish - Hey! :slight_smile: Um, born in Blenheim, lived in Northland, later Kerikeri in the Bay of Islands, then Auckland.

Oh really i live pretty close. In Nelson

Edit:
are you also often accused of “sheep shagging” upon oversees acquaintances discovering that you are from New Zealand?

tnx.
