With a little more time on the clock this year but the shot count doubling comparatively between the campaigns, I re-teamed with Stephen Johnson to create the Target Toys 2013 Commercials. I modelled low and high poly versions of the Toys in 3DS Max. Some of the toys were rigged and animated before being integrated into the scenes with a handy plugin called Supermesher. I spent some time adjusting the lighting in the scenes using a daylight system which was rendered with Mental Ray. I composited the live action and CG plates together in After Effects.

2013 TRO Australia   Telstra Store - Buddies, interactive  
 

I teamed with Peter Leary to create the Telstra Buddies animated sequences displayed on Telstra’s in-store windows over Christmas. The TRO team created an engine to drive the animated sequences which interacted with onlookers as they walked past the 4 x 42” wide LED store display. Working with models created by Mighty Nice, Peter created custom rigs for the models and I created the characters facial expressions. Next I animated the characters which required them to return to a base loop pose at the end of each individual sequence. The rendered sequences were then integrated into the engine by the TRO team, coded by David Armstrong and Art Directed by Liam Thorne.

The team won POPAI Gold Indians for :

• 'Path to Purchase - Experiential'
• 'In Store Craft - Window Displays'
• 'Path to Purchase - Digital or Mobile'

2007 Triple J, Pixel Freaks   Hungry for new music, promo video  
 

Feeling inspired I entered a Triple J competition called "Pixel Freaks". I nutted out a script and storyboards and teamed with Photographer David Rosendale and planned the production. The production involved a live action shoot at a Laundry in St Kilda and later a studio shot to capture actor Nick Walker's performance which was keyed and composited together with CG plates. Up against the clock, I rushed through the post production with help from Adam White in editing and Peter Leary in finding a rigging solution for the monsters tentacles. The video made the finals and was awarded 2nd place. Later I returned to the project and gave it the extra time and finesse I didn't achieve in the original week of production. I modelled, rigged and animated all CG elements using 3DS Max and composited the plates together in After Effects. Big thanks to Tim Trappet for creating the soundtrack and all involved on the project who gave up their time to help create the video.
