3D and Visual Effects

A selection of projects, from stills to motion. My education in this area started after courses at Escape Studios, London in 2008. The course started by giving a thorough grounding in Autodesk's Maya, the film industry standard 3D software. The second half of the course comprised of a range of software, concepts and techniques, used to integrate 3D elements into film footage. We used a range of software including Maya, Shake, Boujou, and PF Track.
During the course I completed a project which involved modelling an object, texturing it, and integrating it into a piece of film footage which had to be motion tracked (also known as ''match moving'').
I have carried on learning about film (Final Cut Studio) and the various aspects of the process (grading, sound etc).

3D Graphics with Maya

3D Sextant on Map

This might look like a real world object but is in fact completely computer generated. I produced this during a six week Maya Core course at Escape Studios, London.

VFX in Film

3D Sextant on Map

This was achieved at the end of the Visual Effects 6 week course at Escape Studios. Modelled and textured in Maya, motion tracked using Boujou, composited with Shake. Footage filmed in Neals Yard, London on a Canon XH-A1. The hand-held style of shooting was necessary to demonstrate that the footage was tracked properly and the model looks 'planted' in the scene, and does not shift around. Reduced size film version available on Vimeo.

Animated cherry blossom scene entirely rendered in Maya. This was an exercise to use n-cloth.

Mobile Phone Dominoes


Still from a sequence showing mobile phone dominoes. Starting with real footage and moving to a rendered sequence. Animation and modelling done by Gary Jones. Filming and compositing done by me.


Phone Dominoes

This project was intended as part of the LoveLondon campaign 2009 which was focussing on recycling mobile phones, with its partner, Regenersis. The pattern of the Dominoes was intended to reflect the LoveLondon logo, a heart with the river Thames running through it.


Phone Dominoes Close Up

This is a side shot as the phones cross the 'River'. Composited onto real footage.


Campaigning Cat


Campaigning Cat

This was an exercise in subtitling and getting to grips with Final Cut Pro and Compressor, It was made for distribution on YouTube as part of a climate change campaign. It won the Viral Film award as part of the 1 Minute to Save the World competition
