About Me:
 
I'm the Australian Whaling historian who appears in the Documentary "Killers in Eden" about the Killer Whale pod that co-operated with humans in South Eastern Australia in the late 19th and early 20th century, a subject I've studied from original sources for over 20years.
I also conceived, storyboarded and developed the Orca scene for HappyFeet, working with Dr George Miller.
Years earlier with my 2 partners Chris Chitty & Matt Ward, & working alongside my sculptor colleague John Cox's company, my robotics company Robotechnology designed and built half the animatronic talking animals for the movie "Babe".
The film won the VFX Oscar that year. Thank you academy!
Studying zoology at Uni as well as Industrial design engineering was not such an innapropriate combination

Creating full size realistic ocean-going mechanical whales, sharks, flying birds, Keanu Reeves's or aliens & farm yard animals is all part of the job description, with a sideline in aircraft , hydrofoils and experimental sailing craft..
Nowdays an apple laptop & nice monitor & some 3D animation & compositing software get the job done nicely too.

BTW, help save the oceans! They comprise 3/4 the surface of our planet.

your obviously accredited but by the same people who are tricking you. so how can anyone who stands against the very structure you are a part of give you scientific evidence? wake up man please those who stand for all things orgonic see your fake science as a way to put out all that is natural. it's simple debunking to make a certain group of people look like gods to people like you. it is all lies and here is perfect proof. the pyremids, the stones at baalbek, the ica stones, the underwater cities at bimini and off the coast of japan . proof that there werte civilizations that were 10000 times more advanced than your'science, why would anyone teach yo in recerse? thatis the question you should be asking. wake up do some real research earth research truth research
peace and love to you.

Oh, to finish the story..., it was at Stanley Park in Vancouver. It was around 12 p.m. I had felt danger the day before and was going back in for a closer look. The coon cut short my investigation, I took it as a sign, I was going in knowing I was not in a winning battle. This universe is stranger than it looks.

Jeez, thanks for the home work for this month and maybe the next two :( How did you know I would actually do it. I'll be glad to get back to you, but I must confess, I'm a mystic and I'm known to come with some strange baggage. I had a raccoon in 2006, get up on its back legs and stand, pickup a stick and trace a line it made sure I understood not to cross. So all the ducks in the lake came out rushing to my rescue. I sat on a bench smoking a joint looking at all this laughing, thinking: You fucken Coon, now I will be called crazy if I ever tell this story! Robotics was on my mind, but the ducks didn't seem to think so. Funny ;)P

@subg88 The last time I worked for the Henson Company was for Farscape Peacekeeper wars.
I assume you contacted the LA creature shop. I worked with Dave Elsey and we set up an AUSTRALIAN Henson creature shop. The LA creature shop had ZERO involvement with Farscape or the Babe films

@ ponosize The documentary on Killer whales I worked on Documented the close relationship with Australian Aboriginals of the Yuin nation with the resident pod of killer whales and the Davidson family. The yuin whalers were paid exactly the same as white whale crew members and had great responsibility, commanding and crewing their own boats and owning the share of procedes. There is a short interview I filmed with Elder Guboo Ted Thomas on my Killers of Eden website
