Projects

Dracula animation loopsAnimation Loop for the Dracula Bluray Disc. The design was based on the opening titles style by Momoco. I created original artwork elements and motion for the city scene and clock tower infinite loop.
American Idol Launch TeasersTwo launch teaser animations I designed and animated with Leo Nguyen. We had fun crafting ideas around a central circle - the tittle of the i in "it". "it" was the centre of the script by Karen Parr and also the centre of the animation. "it" became a singer, a pie chart, a planet, and a title.
Dr Who Bluray for SonyThe Planet Orrery floating in Space was designed by Sony DADC Design Director Bella Blackburne for Dr Who. After working on the original concept together, Bella created the beautiful central Orrery planets animation in C4D. I then focussed on achieving the final look of the glittering, glowing blue and gold space environment and created additional 3d elements like the flying footage bubble and 3 x 3d menu transitions to layouts for sub pages. I used trapcode form for star fields and space cloud atmospheres. A beautiful project to work on with a very talented designer and friend!
