to engage and immerse the public on various
types of pre-historic sea life.
I chose the following examples of my Exhibit
Design skills as I have always had a love of the
ocean and the idea that there were once creatures
in our oceans that could swallow a small boat
whole both fascinating and terrifying. Hopefully
the public would feel the same based on my
design concepts.

he Pythia, the oracle
at Delphi, only gave
prophecies the seventh
day of each month, seven being
the number most associated
with Apollo, during the nine
warmer months of the year;
thus, Delphi was not the major
source of divination for the
ancient Greeks. Many wealthy
individuals bypassed the hordes of
people attempting a consultation
by making additional animal
sacrifices to please the oracle lest
their request go unanswered. As a
result, seers were the main source
of everyday divination.
In Greece the old oracles were
devoted to the Mother Goddess.
At the oracle of Dodona she will
be called Diōnē (the feminine
form of Diós, genitive of
Zeus, PIE *Dyaeus; or of dīos,
“godly”, literally “heavenly”),
who represents the earth-fertile
soil, probably the chief female
goddess of the PIE pantheon.
Python, daughter (or son) of
Gaia was the earth dragon of
Delphi represented as a serpent
and became the chthonian deity,
enemy of Apollo, who slew her
and possessed the oracle.

I
chose the subject matter of Oracles for this
book cover assignment as I am not only an
ancient history and civilization buff, but also
because of the mystical side of the
subject matter.
Oracles were said to be able to predict the
future, see the past and have knowledge of the
present which I’ve always found interesting as
it was obtained during a non-lucid state, almost
being in between realities. This state is also
found in dreams, which I myself have had were
I’ve dreamed of something that came to pass.
The reason I believe that this subject matter
falls into the category of lateral thinking is
that the prophecies the Oracle would give
were usually not very specific and upto the
interrupter of the viewer who would draw their
own conclusions on what they have been told
and proceed with a course of action from there.
But sometimes, we can’t trust what we see hear
as in most cases nothing is truly seems.

An interview with the Director AnD cAst of the upcoming AnimAteD web-series
premiering on Your minDs eYe tv on April 15.
by a certain date for his final
and schedule appropriate
resources to it. The first step
was to create a visual style and
storyboard the ideas that the
Director had. This phase began
in early February 2011 and took
several weeks to complete.
Once that was done it
was on to one of the most
important parts of the
process—voice casting, which
with a script in toe, began. The
cast, which consisted of the
director’s family and friends,
began their voice recording in
late February in order for the
scenes they were in to be
animated and synced to their
recordings.
Rusa “Jerri” Jeremic, a
Professor at George Brown
College, played the voice of
Councilor E’Shara and had this
to say about the project. “I was
really excited by reading the
script and I haven’t been in an
animation project before,” she
explains “I really like the
concept of delving into
Krypton before the Superman
era. It’s pretty original and
creative.”
Although the majority
of the cast had been recorded
their were two roles that needed
to be filled and with the time
remaining, this first time
director had to take on the rolls
of General Zod and the
Kryptonian Computer System
Brainiac.
“These two roles have
What started off as a College project has morphed into an
upcoming web-series that has people talking.
In early 2010, Charles Chandler—a second year Graphic
Design student at George Brown College’s School of design, came
up with an idea to create a re-invention of a comic book superhero
that everyone knows and most people love—Superman.
“Over my break from my first year at GBC, I taught
myself how to do cell animation on the computer,” says Director/
Producer Charles Chandler, ”as it was an area that I was interested
in and perhaps someday get into as a career and since I took the
time to learn the software, I wanted to get my feet wet by creating
an animated short,
“My favorite comic book character since childhood was
Superman, so I thought that I would create something based on
the story of his origin and how he became to be known as ‘the
Man of Steel’, basically re-inventing the character to what I would
like to see as a fan,
“However, news broke that Warner Brothers was planning
to do a re-invention of it’s own, which goes into production
sometime in the fall of 2011, so I abandoned the idea. But I still
wanted to do something revolving around Superman as a test run
for my new skills. Eventually, to focus on my education I put the
whole idea on the back burner.”
It wasn’t until the winter of 2011 when Charles was in his
final semester of his second year at George Brown College, that an
assignment for his final in Motion Graphics to create an opening
title sequence came about, which started the ball rolling.
“It was because of that assignment and trying to come up
with an idea that started the ball rolling in the sense of a back-
story—which believe it or not had nothing to do with Superman, it
had more to do with his parents and what happened to them and
their planet before Superman’s conception, which to my knowledge
has never been done before.”
The basic premise of the series takes place on Krypton—
Superman’s home planet, one year before his birth and delves into
areas of the characters mythos that have never been explored before
as the Director explains.
“We all know that Jor’El and Laura El—the parents of
Superman died along with everyone else on Krypton shortly after
shooting off Superman as a baby to earth and, thanks to the input
of the Richard Donner Film from 1979, that a day before that
General Zod and his co-conspirators were tried and exiled to the
Phantom Zone for trying to take over the planet...My questions,
and which eventually became the core story-line why?
“There were a lot of unanswered questions about the
back-story that I thought would be great to explore such as why did
Jor’El choose earth and how did he know his son would be safe
there? What was their culture truly like? Did Superman’s
mother—a first time one and a young woman at that, panic (which
I myself have done) when she found out she was pregnant and how
did she deal with telling her parents and her husband? The list of
ideas and questions continued on and on and began to take shape
into Last Son.”
With a story line in place, the next challenge was to create
a pilot episode story around this world, which is actually the
opening title sequence that Charles created for his Motion
Graphics final. The screenplay written by Charles Chandler and
fellow cast member Michael Jeremic, opens with the destruction of
a cargo vessel that apparently was caused by unknown and evil
forces.
As with
any project of
this type, wither
it be animation
or live action,
logistics come
into play of how
long this would
take to do, since
the director had
a dead-line to
finish the project
the greatest amount of dialog in
the script, aside from Jor’El
who was brilliantly played by
my father Terry Thompson, and
since time was short and it
would require longer voice
recording sessions, I decided to
take on those roles myself
instead of searching out voice
talent who can take time out of
their schedules to do it.”
Animating the
estimated 3-minute scene was
no small task, especially to
create something visually
entertaining and engrossing.
According to the director, the
tools used in creating this
project were simple. “In the
end I used a good old fashioned
pen and paper to draw out the
scenes and then scan them into
the computer where I would
re-build and flesh them out in
Adobe Illustrator and add
effects in Photoshop. The
actual animated elements were
produced in a program called
Toon Boom, which was used to
create the Simpsons. When the
project was finished I added
additional effects and credits
using Adobe After Effects.”
One thing about the
project itself was still missing—
the sound. A musical score and
audio effects were the final
component in this project,. The
score itself was borrowed from
the scores of Superman Returns
and the original Superman
Movie composed by John
Ottman and the world
renowned composer John
Williams.
“As famous director
said ‘no ones watching the
movie, their listening to the
music’ and with that in mind I
needed a score that was rousing
and stirring and since the scores
existed for the character of
Superman, I decided to use
them. It was a no brainer. I
would prefer to have scored my
own music for the project, but
with the time allotted it just
wasn’t feasible, perhaps in the
future for other episodes I will
who knows.” Charles explained.
It was the future that
the director had in mind as
fellow cast members that
finalized a decision to go
forward. Mary Miller who
played the voice of Councilor
Linara had this to say during an
interview with herself and
fellow cast member/Screenplay
writer Michael Jeremic. “I
think that Charles should
consider doing a mini-series on
YouTube and following up what
happens to Krypton, you know
taking it a step further and keep
going with it.” Mary said.
“I agree,” explained
Michael Jeremic who played the
voice of Chancellor Corus. “I
think this is a very exciting
project I can see it being
developed into a longer film
and I think it lays out a very
interesting premise.”
So what are the plans
for “Last Son”?
“After speaking with
the cast and crew, who all
expressed a desire to reprise
their roles, I think that I will
continue a web-series on my
YouTube Account perhaps on a
monthly or bi-monthly basis
since I would ultimately want
to take the time to properly
animate scenes in the sense of a
more fluid motion of the
characters, which was achieved
to an extent with this pilot, but
again time was an issue. I also
would love to do other
animated web-isodes based on
other ideas that I have and
showcase them on Your Minds
Eye TV.”
In the end, this series,
promises to be an interesting
and exciting pilot and with the
cast, crew and director
interested in doing further
episodes, there is no doubt that
this will not be the last sun rise
for Last Son.

Breath in the Fresh Air—It may not be here for long!
The effects of Deforestation on the Carbon Cycle
Deforestation is the removal of a forest or
stand of trees where the land is thereafter converted to a
nonforest use. Examples of deforestation include
conversion of forestland to agriculture or
urban use.
The term deforestation is often
misused to describe any activity where
all trees in an area are removed.
However in temperate mesic
climates, the removal of all trees
in an area—in conformance with
sustainable forestry practices—is
correctly described as regeneration
harvest. In temperate mesic
climates, natural regeneration of
forest stands often will not occur in the
absence of disturbance, whether natural
or anthropogenic. Furthermore, biodiversity
after regeneration harvest often mimics that found
after natural disturbance, including biodiversity loss
after naturally occurring rainforest destruction.
Deforestation occurs for many
reasons: trees or derived charcoal
are used as, or sold, for fuel or as
lumber, while cleared land is used as
pasture for livestock, plantations of
commodities, and settlements. The
removal of trees without sufficient
reforestation has resulted in damage
to habitat, biodiversity loss and
aridity. It has adverse impacts on
biosequestration of atmospheric carbon
dioxide. Deforested regions typically
incur significant adverse soil erosion and
frequently degrade into wasteland.
Decades or centuries after a habitat perturbation, extinction
related to the perturbation may still be taking place. This is
perhaps the least understood and most insidious aspect of
habitat destruction. We can clear-cut a forest and then point
out that the attendant extinctions are low, when in reality a
larger number of extinctions will take place in the future. We
might curtail our hunting practices when some given population
falls to very low numbers and think that we have succeeded
in “saving” the species in question, when in reality we have
produced an extinction debt that ultimately must be paid in full.
Extinction debts are bad debts, and when they are eventually
paid, the world is a poorer place.
Biology plays an important role in the
movement of carbon between land, ocean, and
atmosphere through the processes ofphotosynthesis
an respiration. Virtually all multicellular life on Earth
depends on the production of sugars from sunlight
and carbon dioxide and the metabolic breakdown
(respiration) of those sugars to produce the energy
needed for movement, growth, and reproduction.

POSTER ART
DIGITAL SKETCH
ENHANCED WITH
PHOTOSHOP EFFECTS/COLORING
WINTER 2015
Rendering CGI animation is very time
consuming, so while on downtime
I began to create posters based
on some of my favorite heroines/
villainesses in the comic world...
Just for fun.
Utilizing a 3-D model for position
reference, the image was then
enhanced in Photoshop with regards
to color and effect. An example of the
creative process can be seen
on the left.

“SUPERGIRL”
PENCIL SKETCH W/INK
2008
A pencil sketch created in the likeness of
Actress Elisha Cuthbert after news broke
that she was being considered the title role
in the re-boot of the DC Comics character
“Supergirl” movie franchise. I’ve always
had a fondness for superheroes and
enjoy drawing freehand.
