Showreel
Here is a selection of my work from clients and personal projects. This is aimed to help give a broad overview of my skills, styles and executions. Thanks for watching.
NRMA Help Idents
I joined the Time Based Arts team, collaborating with Dan Tobin Smith, to help create a series of 15-second idents for NRMA. The project was technically challenging, involving perspective-based image projection that required precise placement of objects on which to be "painted", all while ensuring the compositions remained visually striking.

TMX Brand Video
I worked with the team at Now We Collide to create this new Brand Video for TMX. I was given quite a bit of freedom in creating the style/animation and together I think we got a great result. TMX proved an excellent client with whom to work and from what I've heard they were very happy with the result.

VEXEV
I was contacted by Vexev to create promo/semi-explainer video about them and their new technology. They are a medical-tech company that has developed a device to proactively detect the onset of vascular disease in a quick and cost-effective manner.
I was excited to help them out and carried the project from start to finish, directing, producing and creating the piece. They were very happy with the result and mentioned they had received good feedback from the vascular surgeons with whom they work.
Nissan Ariya Reveal
I worked in-house with Spinifex Group and GPJ to help create this reveal video of the new Nissan Ariya. This was to play at their live event, on stage with the vehicle before it. The car would rotate on a platform to look like it it is driving along the road pictured in the piece.
The recorded experience can be viewed in the second video which gives an idea of the setup and rotation of the car (starts at 9m25s).
I was involved throughout the creative process, working mainly on designing the 3D scenes that the car drives through.
Nissan TOKYO reveal
Working with the team at Spinifex I helped create this background video to be displayed behind one of their upcoming cars for a live event in Tokyo.
Node Fest 2019 - Fruity
Working with my team at Vanta Collective we created this as a submission for the Node Fest ident which had set the years theme as fruity.
Our idea was for the protagonist to drop some acid and experience a bad trip that has him become a banana in a strange fruity world before falling into a supermarket as a regular piece of fruit.

HSBC Customer Due Diligence
We used the simple HSBC triangle to create fun simple characters to tell the story. The challenge was bringing them to life and giving them personality despite their simplicity.
We used plasticine texturing with Octane rendering to achieve the look.
About
A Freelance senior-level 3D Motion Designer and Animator, based in London.
Through my time in the industry, I've taken on many forms of work, fulfilling many roles; I've been part of larger projects with a dedicated team, as well as smaller ones that I've solely directed and taken from start to finish. I understand the creative process well and can communicate effectively to achieve the client's vision and desires.
I specialize in 3D animation, art direction and motion design with a notable talent for creating work with particle systems, simulations and all the other bells and whistles that contemporary animation can offer. This can lend itself well to the hyper-realistic but can also be executed as stylized, abstract or even flat colour work. I've worked in many different styles so can easily adapt to the needs of the project.
