METASCAPES - CHRISTMAS ANIMATION 2023
Role: CG Generalist
Company: IXOR VFX
Tasks: Lighting, Shading, Previsual, Some Modelling & Compositing
Software: Maya (Arnold), Nuke, Zbrush & Photoshop
I was tasked in late November 2023 with creating part of the Christmas animation for "Metascapes" based on a couple of stylized AI reference images. The project was very fast turnover and involved 23.5 days of continual work to deliver. My initial work included previsualising the first 18 seconds of the short, creating base environments for scale and parallax whilst also creating various camera animations to suite the concept environment. After the animation concept was established I liaised with the HOD to process purchased assets which would aid the project. The 100-ish assets I checked their suitability/formats, re-named (the folders were un-organised with little to no description so were checked one by one for content) and distributed to the other artists. After this process I was then tasked to focus on my own sequence which was the transition from trees to exterior workshop and camera flythrough the keyhole to the next artists shot.
For my workshop exterior animation sequence I completed all aspects except for the base workshop model/texture, base tree model & base mountain models, however textures, shaders and models were altered for all of these to best suite the clients request.
The entire sequence had to match the reference as best as possible with the time and base models we had so the result is very stylized with the lighting requiring 30+ lights and 30 light blockers to shape them closely to the concept.
This was the concept art for the workshop sequence. It was generated by AI and therefore has a very stylized and implausible lighting setup.
This is a final frame from my workshop animation composite. I completed this 8 second sequence in its entirety in approximately 16-17 days straight after initial completing initial project work for other shots. My composite breakdown can be seen in the link below which includes the transition to the next artists shot through the keyhole. Software: Maya (Arnold), Nuke, Photoshop, Zbrush

Role: Lighting TD Task: I was tasked with lighting & rendering some of the character still poses to be used for various media images by META & World Cup Rugby.

SKY MOBILE COMMERCIALS (x2) 2021
Role: CG Generalist
Company: Nineteentwenty
Tasks: Texturing, Look Development, Lighting and Modelling
Software: Houdini (Mantra), Maya, Substance Painter, Nuke & Photoshop.
Modelling, Texturing & Look Development Work: My primary asset work was the ferris wheel which took numerous weeks of feedback and iterations across all related disciplines to complete. I also completed other assets such as the beachball in the bus and a textured numerous other assets such as fairground stalls, awnings ect..
Lighting & Rendering: I worked on 10 CG grass replacement shots for the fairground only commercial, tweaking the base setup, painting grass scatter/ texture masks, then lighting and rendering for the comp team to blend with the on-set astro turf.
I setup and worked on one of the wider ferris wheel CG replacement shots, creating daily slapcomps which included compositing 2.5d actors into pods against the matte painting sky.
The CG beach ball I lit and rendered independently of the other CG in the bus shot and created a base composite.

"FREE FIRE" - GAME CINEMATIC COMMERCIAL 2020
Role: CG Generalist
Company: Passion Pictures
Tasks: Texturing, Look Development, Lighting and Some Modelling
Software: Substance Painter, Mari, Maya (Arnold), Nuke
This project was a game cinematic trailer for the update "Project Chrono" released in the video game "Free Fire" which I completed in 2020 with the trailer releasing in 2021. For this project I was tasked with primarily texturing, look development and lighting of which I will detail further below.
Texturing & Look Development Work: The Hero's yellow car, all the guns (including the rocket launcher), the futuristic hand grenade and various other background assets such as 4 cars, newspaper stands, rubbish objects (coffee cups. crisps, football) ect..
Lighting & Rendering: I completed the lighting for approximately 13 of the shots in the commercial. This included creating light specific reaction passes, FX layers and separating lights for specific CG elements and compositing control.
As an example the large slow motion explosion shot (pictured on the far left below) contained 16 light groups (lights rendered separately) and 12 or more render layers for different FX passes, environment, character and light interactions.
Modelling Work: I modeled the hero's glock handgun, the futuristic grenade, most of the the desert eagle (the design was altered by another artist later) and an unused sniper rifle asset.
Below you can find the final commercial, a few prop turntables and a handful of the still frames from the commercial. The still images named "Free Fire - Lighting Shot" are ones that I completed lighting for, the rest just contain my texturing, look development and modelling work (listed above).

ELECTRIC THEATRE COLLECTIVE
WORK GALLERY 2019
Role: Lighting & Look Dev TD / CG Generalist
Company: Electric Theatre Collective
Tasks: Lighting, Look Development, Tracking & Animation
Software: Houdini (Mantra), Photoshop, PFtrack & Maya
Whilst on a short freelance contract at ETC I worked on 2 projects, the first "Michelob" Beer I worked as Look Dev & Lighting TD and then for the "Apple" commercial I took on a more generalist role, below I will detail the information on both seperately below.
Apple "This Watch Tells Time" 2019 Commercial
Tasks: Object Tracking & Animation
Software: PFtrack & Maya
For this commercial I was tasked with object tracking the 2 I watches in the longer two person shot in which the camera zooms out of one iwatch, rolls back and then zooms into another mans watch. To achieve the object track for both I cut the plate into two different length segments and treated it as separate shots. Due to blurring both watches required large amounts of hand tracking keyframes of which I did using a provided iwatch CG model. To aid with tracking/splining the first section of the womans watch I actually reversed the footage before hand tracking every 5 frames, then every 2-3 before PFtrack was able to spline the rest.
My second task was to create a Maya environment with a proxy satellite object and to create a camera animation based on the clients description. I completed numerous passes of this animation and ended up using a key framed aim constraint which was parented to the satellite so that the cameras aimed focus was increased as it rose above the satellite and then weakened as it came back down to earth. I finished at ETC mid project so I could not confirm if my animation was used but the result looks the same as what I produced and I am credited on the ETC website for my work.
Michelob "Ultra" Beer Un-aired Commercial 2019
Tasks: Lighting & Look Development
Software: Houdini (Mantra)
This project was not publicly aired but I spoke with ETC in early 2024 about using it for my website portfolio archive and they said this is fine and assisted in restoring me a copy.
This commercial never went through a final grade so I have quickly applied a basic grade to the stills/ video of which was similar to the render view show LUT we were using.
For this project I was tasked with look development of the bottles, including creation of specific ID passes/masks for labels, fonts etc. I then went on to light most of the shots which had to consistently keep that "premium" beer shot still image whilst in motion.
For the lighting I was provided with an HDR but due to the dynamic nature of the commercial I had to create clean plates for each shot/ bottle to refraction/ reflect in a realistic manner.

Role: CG Generalist Task: I was tasked with creating the initial animation passes for the camera move which starts at earth and goes up and round the satellite before flying back down. I was not at the company when this commercial was still being worked on so I cannot confirm if my final animation was used but it looks the same & I created a camera with constraints in Maya.

My contribution and tasks are listed after selecting each image. Most stills will include a video link (at the bottom of the description after selecting the image) to the final commercial online.
I worked as a CG Generalist for these projects so they are a combination of solo and collaborative efforts with the other artists.
To enter the gallery select one of the images. Most images will have a "link" button beneath which will open a private video link with the final commercial. Due to the amount of images in the gallery you either need to scroll through them or press "show more" at the bottom to display all.
Tasks: Shaders, Lighting, Tracking, Animation and Rendering. Software: Maya (Vray), Photoshop & PFTrack. The sequence required the blending of multiple cameras (live action, to CG (pictured) then to a C4D/motion graphics camera) so it was quite challenging to work on, requiring blending constraints and animation between cameras. Company: Rushes The final advert with the CG shot time stamp can be found pressing the "link" below.
Tasks: Tracking (Camera & Object), Layout & Some Rendering. Software: PFTrack & Maya (Vray). The commercial had alot of CG interacting with real world so a good majority of the project involved carefully tracking cameras and object tracking robot standins to make sure the interactions and rendering were plausible. The commercial is viewable in the link below with timestamps in the description of shots I recall working on. Company: Rushes

Tasks: Modelling, Shaders, Lighting, Animation and Rendering. Software: Maya & Nuke. Company: Rushes I created the end mobile sting for a "Leo Vegas" commercial. I also rendered some horizontal tracked phones to replace actors mobiles who were holding their phones vertically. This end sting was also recycled for further Leo Vegas commercials for a couple years after I created it. The final commercial can be seen clicking the "link" below.
Tasks: Modelling, Shaders, Lighting and Rendering. Software: Maya, Photoshop, PFTrack, & Nuke. The commercial required bottle replacements for a number of shots so the commercial could be re-used in another country. This required re-building and shading the new bottle, then object tracking and lighting it in to a variety of shots with actors interactions. Company: Rushes Final Commercial is linked below with timestamps in the description for my work with extra information.
