Mark Ronson Project

May 26, 2009 by

This was a job completed at McKeown Devita Productions

Work required
I was brought in for 2 full (long) days to make final tweaks and changes, to bring in those last details the director wanted.  We made changes to over half of the spot during this time.  Changes we made were the line work on the spaceship to be a similar colour to the fill colour to various screens that were laid out slightly differently and treated with a new look and style.  New artwork was also being prepared on some shots that replaced older pieces.  Some of the edits were tightened up and camera effects added to give focus and depth of field.  There was also much colour grading to pull all the individual pieces together.

Nesquik – Gralle DUO

May 26, 2009 by

This was a job completed at BEanimation

Work required
I worked on this advert during all stages of production.  It concluded with a 2 day post production with the clients.  At this stage it was minor tweaks and adjustments mostly to Quiky’s (the rabbit) tones and integration into the live action shots.
In shot 6 (climbing the fridge) I created the props of the letters in Maya, these were lit, and animated to match the live action plate and Quiky’s animation.  The live action required much resizing and repositioning as the client was not very happy with the way the camera moved in this scene.  We had to reframe much tighter in the shot and force the camera to pull out whilst keeping the fridge top in the same position.
Shot 11 (Quiky jumping from the hammock) required the pack to be clearer so we tracked in some new artwork.

HSS – Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

May 26, 2009 by

This was a job completed at BEanimation.

Work required
The entire set was created in After Effects (AE) 3d, this was so we could move into and around the shot with ease.  The hands were drawn using traditional animation coloured and had a tone applied.  The graphics in the computer were designed in Photoshop and later animated in AE.

Nesquik – Code Yellow theme

May 26, 2009 by


This was a job completed at BEanimation.

Work required
Quiky (the rabbit) was integrated into his live action shots.  Tones applied and graded along with adding all his shadows that he might cast or recieve.  There was some cleaning up of dust and scratches in some shots for example the bowl shot (shot 2) we wanted to only see 3 pieces of cereal and none of the dust they left behind when poured out.  There was quite a lot of rotoscoping required in this advert, the telescope scene and also the shot where the pack arrives to the boy and Quiky being the most involved.  All the shots with the pack being pulled on the rope had some rig removal.

Chocapic – Dune

May 26, 2009 by


This was a job completed at BEanimation

Work required
Worked on this from early stages to the final piece.  Mostly it invovled placing the characters, adding there tones, grading the various parts of the 3d artwork.  I helped to push a solution with the sand storm, we were struggling a little with getting the look we wanted from the 3d applications so there renders were processed much and layered with different versions to try and create a more dusty/cloud feeling.  There was also shots from live action sand and explosions that were created in house and integrated into some of the shots notably at the end when the car crashes out from the sand dune.  This particular pack shot was for the Romanian branded version (“with many/much chocolate!” )

Carlos Bar Fix

This is a section from a product sequence that was used in a chocapic advert.  You can see the original shot (labeled “Before”).  The chocolate was substituted with blocks of shaped wood and unfortunately you can see the corners so it does not look like a juicy solid chunk of real chocolate.  The main problems are highlighted in the red circles, the corners and lack of clear product label.  The original shots were shot on high speed film and lasted over 10seconds each, I have sped them up here.  I created the final shot with a mixture of methods.  The logo was artworked then tracked and masked into position.  The new corners were a created from other takes that the client preferred the look of, and also new artwork.  Where we used other takes these had to be retimed and repositioned to match my new hero shot, and again any new artwork tracked and positioned into place.  You can see the final shot in the video clip.

Pitch – Carry On

May 24, 2009 by

This was a pitch put forward for BEanimation.  It was for an advert that would be promoting the DVDs of all the films, collect a new episode each week when you buy this magazine all about carry on.  They had some images of the characters.  I choose the Kenneth Williams character that they had clinging onto this pull down blind.  I prepared the artwork in Adobe Photoshop, and then moved to After Effects (AE) to animate him.  Various distortion effects were also used and the whole thing placed into a 3d enviroment so I could light it and have shadows cast.  This was put together during a weekend.

Fear Of Music – Better Living Through Chemistry

May 22, 2009 by


This was a job completed at McKeown Devita Productions

Work required
I was brought in after the edit was created, it required rotoscoping of the live action to either tint an object/area red.  Was a straight forward job to do apart from the fact that as I had only the final edit with camera moves on still frame shots and fake camera bounce there were more key frames required than what really needed to be necessary and more time was used as the shots were now more complicated..but this was just an inconvience.
