Honda Turntable LA AutoShow 2011
POSTED IN All, Blog, Interactive, Minicades, Portfolio, Recent December 6, 2011
The Honda Civic turntable real-time interactive was produced for Spinifex in Sydney Australia. For this job I worked as the production manager and together with 3 other team members we put together 9 real-time animations for the Honda Civic 2011 stand at the LA Autoshow. This job was created using Autodesk Maya / Max for the asset creation and Unity3D for the real-time renderer. This job had to be real-time to match the real car on the turntable. The stand had 3 plasmas Screens in Portrait mode with an interactive screen to control the content. Each screen has different themes at at any point of the rotation an animation can be played or even blended into another animation. This was achieved to create an original engaging experience for the users. All parties involved were very impressed with the outcome.
Breakdown -
*I worked as a production manager leading 3 staff plus also working as an available 4 resource.
*I also did all modelling and animation

Monty Biggs Animated Short
POSTED IN All, Blog, Personal July 1, 2011
Here is a blockout of the of the opening scene.
This is a personal project project of mine called ‘Monty Biggs’. It’s a story of a retired AllStar baseball player that has nothing in his life except memories. Offered a chance to turn back time Monty has to decide whether he is willing to give up everything………… and I mean everything.
I wrote the script 6 years ago and the project has had waves of interest from myself from time to time, but mostly it has been shelved. I blame life in general. I do love my script and vision and I will make this animated short one day

Inversion
POSTED IN All, Blog, Portfolio, Recent May 15, 2011
Inversion was another Plastic Wax cinematic. I did all of the environment lighting and some character shader work. I was also able to do the compositing for half of the shots in the Cinematic. Working together with Matt Dignam and yet another tight deadline we were able to pump this out in a matter of weeks. Thou I do recall falling asleep upright in the middle of an all night-er, which Matt found amusing as it was in midst conversation.
