I did this spot last year for a Canadian Channel called the Space Channel (all sci-fi, all the time). I did have to shave my head, which was soooo comfortable. But I did wear a hat for months.
It recently won gold at the BDA media awards. I didn't have anything to do with that at all! That's for all the 3D animators!

click on the Movies from Space box, and that's me :)

Okay, Matthea... I'm lost.  You once mentioned doing animation (I think, and am too busy to look it up)... but this particular spot wasn't your handiwork?  You're just the model?

You do look fabulous with a shaved head.  Very Star Trek movie. !!! :)

Remind me of your profession and credentials.  I've been admiring your Warhol-esque avatar for a while and I seem to recall you're a design chick of one sort or another, but I read so much here every day I honestly sometimes can't keep people and details matched.

Can't wait to hear!

Very cool ad!

filters.jpgHaha Shelli, I know what you mean. I read so much here, and on different sites, I mix things up all the time. I jumble things together sometimes!

That's me the shoot. I've done model work here and there. I don't go out looking for it, but my husband Mat own a company that does broadcast design and print work. When people come in for meetings sometimes they see pictures of me and ask if they can get 'that girl' for upcoming projects. It's fun, but I won't shave my head again. At least not for a little while.
The business does graphic design, animation, and concept work. I consult for them and art direct. AKA bossing Mat around and telling him to change things. I don't have much in the way hard computer skills. After Effects and all those programs are way over my head, but then again, I've never tried them out so I shouldn't complain.

Mostly, I'm a 'domestic'.  bear_grin  That's what I like calling housewives.

My little avatar is just one of the bears I held up to my isight camera on my mac. Nothing was done to it at all. There are all these filters that auto change things. MAC isight rocks! Here is me right now in some different filters: xray, glow, pop art, pencil crayon, comic, thermal (the one with red teeth - [INVALID]  bear_rolleyes  )

OKAY Matthea............ you are not allowed to be gorgeous and make bears OK?

..................There are already far too many good lookers here on TT and as representative of the UOBS (Ugly Old Bints Society) i cordially ask you to refrain from parading your gorgeous good looks and to eat more chocolate and crisps to fill out that disgustingly thin frame (sigh) of yours, take less excercise thus aiding the saddle bags and Bingo wings phenomenon so widespead amongst us mere mortals and cancel all future visits to the dentist thus bringing yourself into line with the European Union directive which states "all members must neglect oral hygene thus ensuring the inclusiveness of those who are snaggle toothed and discoloured"...................

...........If you should need ANY further help at all in becoming a member of UOBS please don't hesitate to contact me here in my locked cell at the Institute of 'Boy Ain't That Ugly Grandma' Plastic Surgeons, Ward 7 - The Incurably Inoperable But Hey! Technology Is Growing Every Day Department c/o Teddy Talk.

Yours

Photo-158.jpgPenny that's hilarious! Is eating a bag of Cadbury cream eggs for breakfast a step to becoming a member of the UOBS? That's what I ate for breakfast honestly, and I LOVED every bite! I wish they sold those eggs year 'round.  bear_wub

Hahahahaha Penny! Have you ever considered going into comedy?!

Wow, Matthea, I am very impressed...love the clip (big Trek fan here!), you look fantastic in it and the effects are incredible. I'm not surprised you get those modelling jobs! Good for you!  :clap:

Tons of makeup at 3D computer rendering can do wonders!
I'm a big trek fan too. I'm a geek, I'm watching it right now on Spike Tv
I probably wont be getting an gigs anytime soon. I'm type-cast now as the bald chick, or the girl with the mohawk. (long story...I would do it, but my husbands ex-girlfriend from high school who is somewhat a stalker copies all my hair cuts and just grew a mohawk after shaving her head so I don't want to do anything that might give her an idea that I'm copying her. By the way Mat and I have been together 7 years! Go away nut-case!)
