Science Festival Ident and Xmas Card

Heres the finished version of the Science Festival Ident, which we all worked on. was good fun to produce, and learned a few nice techniques along the way!



Before this was finished, we also did a quick xmas card for digital city, which was a bit of fun playing around with some different software.

Music Video Test

ive been working on this music video with J6 films for the past couple of months, slowly but surely i think we're reaching a destination! its been an interesting learning experience, experimenting with nodes which animate to sound amplitude (as you can see on the surface of the Tetrahedron). Next week we hopfully will be going full on getting the maya files done and getting them rendered. looking forward to being able to work on the character animation showreel though, should be wicked supa fun.

Rough Storyboards

A rough storyboard i did the other week for Stuart from Orange Panda, for a pitch to a client. the plot is about a bachelllorette party gone mad, where the police are being called in, and the news is covering it from different angles. sorry for the lack of annotation!
