Back in high school, I did the musical Little Shop of Horrors. Sure, it wasn’t a movie everyone flocked to the theaters to see in ’86, but from my experience, all my mates love it too, young me must have watched at least 100 times, planted in front of the TV. In fact, I think it was my 2nd ever DVD I bought. The Goonies was my 1st. I even have the original Roger Corman one too. Anyway, as a result of watching it so much and also being in the musical, the catchy songs rooted themselves into my head, they were pretty much all about horror, and that is awesome in my book. I would love to make myself a little Audrey 2.
Rick Moranis is a national treasure, and they did a great job of making Audrey II seem lifelike in this scene and throughout the whole movie, but I like it when Seymour is interacting with with him as if he is a baby. Steve Martin performed the role of the dentist brilliantly.
For those that don’t know, the original ending to the movie that I didn’t even know existed until a few months ago. Basically, Audrey II kills Audrey I and Seymour, then little Audrey II’s are sold in stores and become a craze, and naturally they all grow to enormous sizes and destroy everything and take over the world. It’s a pretty awesome ending (even though it kind of goes on way too long) and unique in that the villain wins, but nobody wanted to see Seymour die, so they re-shot the ending to have Seymour and Audrey I triumph but with a little Audrey II on their picket fence at the end. Wish they’d gone with this dystopian ending instead of the sappy one?

I love the ability where I can plan, prioritise, design, develop and deliver blended learning solutions for a variety of markets. I love to consult and advise about the best use of digital learning and improve design standards in line with evolving ways of working. I also enjoy to keep up to date with, understand and regularly recommend emerging technologies and practice to improve individuals, teams and organisational capabilities.
With over 12 years digital learning experience and demonstrated experience in both instructional design and eLearning development, I have also a lot of experience conducting training needs analysis including how to leverage principles such as design thinking and root cause analysis to understand and address performance gaps. I also have led many facilitation workshops and even presented at iDesignX and Game Developers Conferences both here in Australia, Wales and in the United States.
I bring loads of coding experience in Java, ASM, C++, HTML, JavaScript, SCORM and xAPI, as well as proven capability using Adobe Captivate, Trivantis Lectora and Articulate Storyline 360 Studio authoring programs. Of course, Adobe Creative Cloud is also part of my toolbox which I also use daily. Being taught traditional and advanced 3D animation techniques, I love hand drawing and polymer clay sculpture, but can also use the Blender, 3D Studio Max, Maya and Softimage applications.
With strong multimedia, training and programming backgrounds, I understand modern learner behaviour including micro and social learning, I am very familiar with most LMSes and app-based (XCode and Android Studio), adult learning models and e-solutions.
I also possess the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, whilst being pro-active in delivering work independently with minimal supervision, but enjoy working in teams.
I've been told I am a resilient, relationship focused guy which can manage and navigate conflicting views and stakeholders/subject matter experts.
