Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Non-Profit Organization, Financial Services
    uniE608 Newtrade Media – Media Pack Animation
    Working closely with Newtrade Media, I recieved the proposed storyboard as pencil sketches and ideas. With some reference material, I offered to illustrate their ideas into a complete storyboard and establish a look and feel that could be presented to the department heads for approval. This meant I could set up all the assets in each scene to be ready to work with in After Effects, making my editing time much more efficient. I recorded a placeholder voice over track for reference during the editing process, which I usually do for speed while the script goes through re-writes. But I was told the heads of department responded positively my voice over and requested I do the final take. So I ended up illustrating, animating and doing the voice over for the whole thing. #video #explainervideo #animator #videoeditor #aftereffects #overviewvideo #servicevideo #motiongraphics
    uniE608 Svendsen Jewellery – Sapphire Ring Creation
    Promotional video for bespoke Norwegian-born Jewellery designer Stine Ingvoldstad Svendsen, documenting a sapphire gemstone ring being created from concept to completion. Working with such small gemstones was a creative challenge, but they were so reflective I quickly realised I could get some amazing shots to bring out the sparkle in each gemstone. I was able to make good use of my macro lens filming in the workshop, showing how tacktile and handcrafted the ring making process is, and the sheer amount of steps involved. #video #advert #videoeditor #videographer #productvideo #postproduction #colourgrading #explainervideo #jewellery
    uniE608 PremCrete – Logo Creation Ident
    Ident animation for the new logo I created for Premcrete, showing the process of how it came together. Initially this was set to be a simple screen recording, however I knew I could make it more interesting using a simplified version of the Adobe Illustrator UI and adding some camera movement and depth of field in After Effects. This end up being featured in a case study video on the agencies website – https://www.twine.net/signin #videoeditor #aftereffects #logoident #logodesign #logoanimation
    uniE608 Grayshott Collection – Promo Animation
    Grayshott Collection had commisioned an amazing illustration of the art deco house ‘Grayshott’ and they wanted to have it as a video for their website. Specifically, the brief was for it to be fully animated from start to finish with each line and brushstroke drawing itself in place. Working with artist Christina Borg, who created the original, we mapped out specific stages of a new illustration that I could could animate by hand. I created a dynamic social media sting video to tease the collection and draw interest to the new website. #video #aftereffects #animation
