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!” )

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.

Andy Burrows – Boxes

May 22, 2009 by

This was a job completed at McKeown Devita Productions

Work required
I was brought in quite late into production to help out with just a few of the shots.  These were the front and end movement of the camera into and out of the house, and the musical notes moving around the young boy in a whirlwind shape. 
The movement into the house required the original 2d artwork to be cut into “panels” and have the perspective removed so I could build a similar room but using After Effects (AE) 3d.  We wanted some feeling of depth and distance from the objects so by recreating the scene in 3d we could achieve a more realistic camera feel than with the original artwork.  It is subtle but helps the otherwise static shot.
The other shot I worked on is just past the middle (about 55 seconds) it has the boy being held in the air by a vortex of wind with the musical notes spiraling around it.  This also used 3d in AE with the notes being hand animated but also parented to various null objects to help with regular motions, for example moving in a regular circle around the boy.

Pot Noodle

May 22, 2009 by

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 job completed at BEanimation.

Normally it is changing the content of the televisions, this is done maybe quarterly to match any new tv shows that they wish to promote/ have recognised in the title sequence.

I have worked on changing the titles to a RED NOSE day theme, and also they had requested a Christmas styled title. This had extra props placed in,trees, presents, tinsel, along with snow and glitter and flashing lights.

Johnny Flynn – The Box

May 20, 2009 by


This was a job completed at McKeown Devita Productions

Work required
I worked on colouring some of the drawn animation.  Originally it was going to look like a magic marker style fill but also with splats of colour, some shots were done by myself and liked but it was felt to late in the production to carry this style on through out the video, unfortunately the style was dropped.  The shot left in that I was involved in setting up, is the final shot where we have a box in a box in a box…This used After Effects 3d camera to get the correct feeling of moving towards something very large to very small (adjusting scale only would not work in this shot because it does not work in the same way as a real camera would when moving towards an object).
Below is a clip of the 4 pieces I had coloured, these were not used unfortunately.
