Shane enjoyed some interesting talks at BBH, particularly from Framestore, who do the visual effects for Game of Thrones, about virtual reality and Ian Livingstone's keynote. Shane was introduced to Ian briefly after he had finished his keynote and was able to give his portfolio website details.
Being picked for the Noise festival has given Shane more confidence in his work because someone with huge experience of the gaming industry believed it was good enough to be one of his choices.

Power Within Curator Choice - why Ian Livingstone selected it
"An original and powerful artistic style with colour, shading and geometry drawing you into the picture. The character figure, though young-looking, appears powerful with his aura of magic fire. There is a tremendous sense of wonder and mystery about the picture which is essential when creating gaming environments to encourage players to continue their adventure, even if it is to their ultimate doom. Can't wait to play the game!" - Ian Livingstone's comment
