HSS – Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

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


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


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!” )

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.

Pot Noodle

This was a job completed at McKeown Devita Productions

Work required
Set of 3 already edited “viral’s” for Pot Noodle. The brief was to add karaoke style text, rather than the yellow bouncing ball a pot of Pot Noodle would bounce along to show you what word you should be singing. They were all of similar length to the example above and were completed in 2days which allowed time for some tweaks by the client.

This was a short piece created for advertising the look and feel of a website.

Nesquik – Code Yellow

This was a job completed at BEanimation.

Work required
Required rig removal (shots 1,2,5,7,8,and 9).  Shot 6 the CG google view required a clearer pack than what was supplied to us there was no time to ask them to change it so we tracked in new artwork, this included a larger basket.  There were also changes made to the white house to give the roof a feeling of some age without making it look to tattered.  Shot 11 had some cosmetic work done to tidy up the fingernails of the young girl (hand painting new nails), also the skin was smoothed to remove blemishes. The text wipe on the toy was done during post.
The rest of the shots required the bunny to have his tones applied and integrated into the environment.  This is done with rotoscoping, and drawing of cast shadows and contact shadows.
Worked with clients during a 2 day post to make any changes they required.  Master tapes were created onto a digi-beta.
