3 years industry experience, including that of working within the heart of Soho London, for a leading post production company.
Very experienced in the use of Maya, and Adobe Creative Suite (particularly Photoshop and After Effects).
Competitive and friendly services that I will provide within the 3D genre is that of modelling, texturing (procedural and painting), animation and rendering. I can provide many a look and feel, ranging from graphical 2D, right through to photo realism. My main experience is that of broadcast television (advertisment, programme and music promo), and corporate video.
I will also composite upon request.
within the 2D genre I will work on nearly anything from photo manipulation, touch-up, removal and artwork.
I am willing to work both in-house or from my own location. Preferred locations are the south west (Cornwall through to Bristol), and south east (London and Kent)
Do not hesitate to ask any questions you may feel have been unanswered!
I look forward to working with you.

Mazda MX5 'Casino'
Modelled, textured, lit, tracked and composited all neon signs within this commercial.
Take That 'Shine' music promo
Modelled and animated 'pyramid' tower. Also tracked many of the shots, incorporating the 3D background environment.
Futureheads 'The Beginning Of The Twist' music promo
Tracked necessary shots and created simple geometrical environments, which were then exported for the Flame operator to use and composite.
Specsavers Gremlin 'Specklie'
For two shots in this 30 second advertisement, I animated the 'Specklies' gremlin character. I also made visible reflections within the pre-shot bedroom environment.
Girls Aloud 'Sexy No No No' music promo
Modelled, textured, animated and lit all giant 'pins' for all shots. Also camera tracked the offline footage, to incorporate the final interior 'chimney' (also modelled, painted and lit).
Airwick Christmas Idents
These short idents have been shown at the start, middle and end of episodes of Emmerdale during Christmas 2007 & 2008. This ident I animated (and partly rigged) all characters (and interacted fairy lights using skeletal systems), modelled and textured some environmental objects.
'Mini Adventure' - new Mini launch
Animated and lit the Mini. The brief was to animate the car on the previously shot portrit of the woman. This required the car to move realistically, but to also move and leave tyre tracks around the woman (in the shape of spectacles, moustache and goatee), whilst still following the movements of the woman's eyes.
