Showreel ’12
Verizon: DROID
Lighting & Rendering | Precomp
One of three commercials I worked on for Verizon whilst at the Mill New York office.
An extremely tight turnaround for three spots meant working efficiently with a great team, chipping in with the 2D Nuke side of things where possible.
Rendered in Maya with MentalRay.

Fruit d’Or: “Hugo”
Shoot | Feather Groom | Rendering
For this spot we were required to create a fully CG bird: “Hugo”.
I was mainly responsible for the groom of the bird crafting the density, flow and lengths of each feather. This was particularly tricky as we tried to stay true to that of an actual great tit, who have long feathers on their small bodies.
I was also on shoot for this commercial.

Kia – Recommendations
Previz | Shoot | Lighting & Rendering
Kia’s “Reviews and Recommendations” campaign required us to create an installation space to mimic their customers feedback – aka thousands of keyboard keys!
I was involved throughout the ad, from early previz-ing, shoot supervision and then lighting and rendering.

Rainbow Six: Patriots Trailer
Texturing | Shading | Lighting & Rendering
A totally 3D cinematic for the new Rainbow 6 game, which is to be released in 2013.

Audi HummingBird
Modeling | ICE | Lighting | Rendering
A fully CG spot for the new Audi A6 Avant saw us create a hummingbird designed to mimic the look and feel of the car.
I was mainly responsible for the shots where the hummingbird finds itself amongst a sea of foxgloves made entirely out of traffic cones, for all stages from modeling through to rendering (minus animation).

Axe/Lynx: Fallen Angels
Tracking | Texturing | Lighting & Rendering
This was the first Lynx Angels ad The Mill worked on. Since working on this spot I’ve worked on many aspects of the campagian from iAd’s and Kelly Brook interactive facebook videos, to German Advent calendars.
I’ve worked on almost every part of the ads from texturing, tracking, lighting & rendering through to compositing.

Axe/Lynx: My Angel Girlfriend
L&R Pipeline | Lighting & Rendering
“My Angel Girlfriend” is the follow up commerical to “Lynx – Fallen Angel”.
As per the previous ads I was responsible for lighting and rendering, but I also worked on tools to streamline the set up of shots allowing us to turn round shots a lot faster. This meant we could focus on other elements such as the wings interacting with objects and adding fur to the wings.

Lighting & Rendering
In this ad for Sky Sports 3D’s 2011 coverage of The US Masters, we used a mixture of stock footage and matte paintings to build our slow-mo backplates.
