Electoral Commission of S.A.

CGI build, animation, tracking, lighting & render of 'thought balloons' for a series of ‘Enrolling to Vote’ TVC's
I also attended a 2 day on set shoot for technical QC & Image based lighting capture using a Nikon D810 & 8-15mm F3.5 fisheye lens. Animated using C4DR19 & rendered with Thea for C4D 'Presto" GPU/CPU renderer.
(Post-production editing & compositing by Mark McKenna @ Sparkl)

Benetas Aged Care

Really enjoyed working on this lovely simple treatment for Benetas Aged Care facility. Created in conjunction with Evergreen in Richmond, Melbourne, & Doug Molino whom supplied the artwork for me to animate.
I used Cinema 4D R16 Maxwell Render. Post completed with AeCC2015.

MAZDA CX8

CGI vehicle & surrounding location build & setup, lighting & render for Mazda TVC (First shot in TVC)
(Post-production editing, VFX & grading by Chris Reynolds of RETROBOX)

NBC PNG News + Station ID

Initially, this commission was for a 'simple' show closer revamp for the new NBC Papua New Guinea Government station. It quickly evolved to become a whole Station ID & then a News opener. I had to incorporate aspects that were relevant to local populations re- colour, motion, the Kundu drum, cultural traditions etc. These manifested in the signature use of the 'paint pigment' effects at the end as a dynamic transition device, where the traditional use of paint splatters & daubs becomes transformed to the modern slick 3D colours of the new logo seen through glass. Old meets new.
Finally, there was a request to incorporate the various PNG provinces (as flags in the bg)- it is always 'interesting' from a design aspect to try & please everyone ; )
I used C4D R16, AeCC for post & VrayforC4D in various passes for the 3D animation. The paint splatter effects were stock film clips mapped to camera planes from C4D & used as mattes in AeCC

Feast Watson 'Beautiful Protection'

Fluid Simulation & CGI environment for Feast Watson TVC. Fluid simulation using 'Real Flow for C4D'. Animated in C4D R19 & rendered using Thea for C4D. Created with HBT Agency Melbourne.

Melbourne Star - Starring Melbourne

After 5 years of waiting, the good people of Melbourne get their wheel back.
I created this TVC/cinema Ad. for HBT agency, & it was an extremely enjoyable process. I worked from conceptual animatics to create dozens of possible camera angles, motion tests & sky/lighting combinations for the client in order to get a balance of scale, speed & 'magic hour'.
A basic CAD file of the revised design was supplied but 70-80% was rebuilt or components added for detail accuracy. Setup, lighting, camera projection, animation & rendering were done in Cinema 4D R14 & VrayforC4D 1.2.6.1. Final compositing & fx in After Effects CS6.
Lighting was generated by image based lighting techniques (LDR & HDR) & physical sun for key light.
Live action captured on RED @4K by Cinematographer & Director Jon Webb
City bg plates were captured by Jeff Yates- jeffreyyates.com with additional fx animation created in AE to make the plates 'alive' with atmospherics & activity.
The main sky bg plates are from Hyperfocal Design- hyperfocaldesign.com

ASKO Technical 'Explainers'

As per earlier work for Asko, this 3D animation was created for Trout- Creative Thinking. Supplied the basic CAD file, I then modified, textured, lit, animated & rendered the sequences. The resulting cgi files were passed to Trout for incorporation of motion-graphic design elements. Cinema 4D R14, VrayforC4D 1.2.6.1 & After effects CS6 were used to create the various components.

Cabot's Aquadeck CGI pack addition + mo-graphic insert TVC's

Another example using CGI for replacing or adding a missing element. In this case a pack redesign retiring insertion into a pre-existing bg plate for Cabot's Aquadeck.
Created using Cinema 4D for plate tracking & pack modelling. VrayforC4D use for rendering & AeCC for compositing.

Below- I designed & animated this 6 second info-graphic for Cabot's Decking Oil using C4D, VrayforC4D, After Effects & some macro images I took with my OMD E-M5 lens/camera. The opening section was originally more fluid & slower however client requested a 50% speed-up as seen here due to screen time constraints.

Full TVC below.

BSP -Bank South Pacific- TVC's

BSP is the Bank of South Pacific. My client wanted to bring mobile phones to life, representing different people from Papua New Guinea & what they needed from a mobile banking service.
I created the animation based upon concepts provided; & constructed & animated the tvc in Cinema 4D. Rendering was in VrayforC4D. Some models were from Turbosquid whilst the rest were built by me. Composited in After Effects.

CAC Gas & Instrumentation

Mo-graphic title designed & animated for CAC GAS & Instrumentation company.
Concept takes place inside a gas cylinder as molecules of gas-as-text float about; chemical elements break apart & contribute to text descriptors of the company & its services. Periodic table serves as a visual device to display products.
I gave this a somewhat retro feel, with sketched outlines & textured paper backdrop to contrast with the 'high-tech'
message

 '60 Minutes' Story 'Explainer'

I was commissioned to create an animated sequence illustrating the final minutes of a jet crash into the ocean off Norfolk Island. Whilst complete photo-accuracy was not possible in the time, I set out to make it as 'realistic' as possible; kind of 'docu-accurate' perhaps.
The sequences were created using Cinema 4D & the native AR for rendering. Compositing & particles in
After Effects. Jet model from the 3DStudio- the3dstudio.com
(no audio)

 iSelect TVC's

Here are 2 TVC's I animated & composited utilising Cinema 4D, VrayforC4D, & the awesome 'Sketch & Toon' shader from Maxon.
