Chase Sapphire
Well, I can’t claim too much credit for this spot. I did animation and then tweaks to the render setup, the latter had been made by another artist for another spot. I worked on two Chase spots at Yu+Co, and this one is one of them. Good design, props to Synderela Peng and Johnny Wong.
California Lottery
While at Superfad, I worked on a spot for the California Lottery directed by Richard Hickey. I was the 3D lead on this. With the timeline given, I knew that we had a challenge in articulating Richard’s vision. I had only worked with a few of the artists on the team, and at times wondered [...]
THQ Motocross
This trailer aired on a jumbo-tron during a Motocross event. My contribution to this project was some layout, a little generalist work here and there, and mostly shader and lighting work. We had some talented cats working on this. I think the animation could have used a couple more weeks of polish.’ Live action’ characters [...]
Fuel TV
I did this identity tag for Fuel TV while at Brand New School. The budget was cut off, literally, before we had much to show yet the spot was well under way. We worked with a skeleton crew on this, and accepted a rate cut because we really wanted to see this spot through. I [...]
Fable III
While at Psyop, I worked on this cinematic trailer for Fable III. I only lit a few shots and did lsome layout and shader work as well. There was a talented team that cranked out this trailer pretty quickly.
FoodMaxx
On this spot for a grocery store chain, I worked on the dynamics, lighting, texturing and compositing in After Effects. This was done at Brand New School.
Aflac
While at Brand NewSchool, I worked on two spots for Aflac. I was a supervisor, who also did look development, lighting, and compositing… The project was pretty fun and we had a talented team.
T-Mobile
I did a little bit of everything on these spots. Most of the legwork was done by Giancarlo Lari, and I finished the elements doing mainly lighting and material work, and with texture, model and animation fixes. My elements went straight into Flame and pop… Lighting was done with HDRs taken on set.
Bavaria Beer
This beer spot for Dutch TV was my first project at Eight VFX. I lit the ‘hero’ water drop. Art directing caustics turned out to be real tricky and time consuming. We worked hard on it but the quality shows, in the finish and quality of the fluid animations. Not to mention Vania’s awesome spider. [...]
Krupp
Krupp – Eine deutsche Familie was a challenge of quick turnaround and small budget for expansive effects to be done in full HD. I worked on look development, lighting, texturing, animation, and some matte painting. I was also sequence lead. The most fun part of this project was all the research for historical reference. Krupp [...]
Save my Soul
Gnarls Barkley are great. I got to work on a video for their single Save My Soul. The budget and deadline were ridiculously tight. I worked on look development of the cg heart character and lit some of the shots for this. Gnarls always put out cool concepts with talented directors, and this one was [...]
Boeing Spot
Asylum created several commercials for Boeing. I enjoyed recreating detailed aircraft and here is a cut of several ads put together. For these projects, I was mainly involved in texturing, though I did do some layout work as well.
Propel Spot
For this Propel spot, I worked alongside 2 other texture artists because we weren’t sure which assets were going to end up really close to camera. Vast amounts of 3D assets were created at hero quality for this reason. This was a pretty fun project. Houdini was the main effects tool used.
Bones jet landing
One of my first studio gigs was working on the first season of Bones. I don’t recall if I rendered this with Mental Ray or the Maya renderer, I only remember having about 5 days to model, texture, animate, and light the elements for HD output. It was intense for somebody recently out of school, [...]
