Roles; Prop and Environment modelling, Background Character designs and texturing, Background Character animation
For this project I was responsible for modelling the famous buildings (with a Nervo twist), including the Empire State Building, the Statue of Liberty, Big Ben and the Eiffel Tower. I also assisted with some of the background buildings and props. The second role I had was to assist with the background characters, firstly by modifying and texturing them, and then with the animation.

Aviva Rollover Ad
Produced by Asylum Films
Roles; Stop Motion Animator, Model Builder, Animation planning
The plan for this animation was to create a series of transforming animated scenes rendered in plasticine. I was responsible for the preproduction planning of the morphs between each scene. Each frame of the morphing stages was individually sculpted and then swapped out to created the illusion. Once planned and prepared the final animation was shot from beginning to end in one shoot.

Heroes of the UAE, WWF
Produced by Asylum Films
Roles; Stop motion animator, Character design of lead character, 2d animation
I was part of a small team of animators working on the project. It was an interesting mix of stop motion animation and 2d cut outs for the crowd scenes. There were some interesting shots, particularly memorable was the opening character building himself out of paper and the epic Brazil shot, which was a 21hr shoot!

Run With the Wolves by The Prodigy
Directed by Jack Bonnington and Ryan Herbert
This video was produced as our entry to the dailymotion competition to make a music video for the Prodigy. We really loved the track and wanted to make something dark and eerie. Possessed scarecrows in high cornfields came to mind, followed naturally by a giant combine-harvester to ward them off. Carnage ensues!
