BBC Olympic venue visualizations

Check out the Olympic venue visualizations on the BBC (I think they sold them to quite a few different broadcasters around the world).
I helped Crystal CG with designing and texturing, as well as animating and consulting. And setting up some 3d comps in Nuke.


Not sure if anyone has done this before, building the WHOLE of greater London inside a 3d graphics application.

Look out for my bicycle parked on Acton High street (the green rusty one, locked to a lamppost).


Check out the HD video here.  I was involved in the flyovers like the one pictured above:

Nuke artist for Unit TV

Through DigitalGurus, I helped UnitTV with some Nuke work on these commercials for TalkTalk broadband earlier this year.
Featuring a voice over by Helena Bonham-Carter, the 60” and 30” spots advertise various promotional offers from the phone provider.

Kids show I supervised in 2009, 1100 shots, every trick in the box on a shoe string budget.

Supervising for Champs commercials

Check out these commercials I just finished supervising through Soho Editors for Th1ng, featuring two giants of the NBA and NFL, Kevin Durant and Max Stafford.
The spots were created for Champs Sports, one of the largest sports retailers in the US.
I worked closely with director Justin Dickel and producer Hannah Cooper to achieve the time slice shots and seamless transitions, supervising a team of six 2d and 3d artists.
After doing the previs animatics in Maya in London, the high speed footage was shot in L.A..
Shots were than tracked, CG liquids and balls added, supports for the sportsmen painted out and the shots blended together in AfterFX.

Check out the commercials here:

"I Know Me /Make a musical" on BBC2 this Thursday 19th at 4:00h (I was VFX supervisor on this)

I am very happy and excited to be part of this "Gamelab London" project (I set up and supervised the post production pipeline and did the on set supervising):

"A bully and his victim find themselves lost in a fantasy world.

Bemused and scared, the travellers are calmed by the spirit who will take them on a journey to help them understand anger, fear and loneliness.The musical featured in this programme was developed and performed by groups of pupils with special educational needs. At the end of the musical itself there are a few short workshops which can help

classes who would like to try to produce the musical themselves."

This is a musical I Know Me devised by Owen Smith and Rebecca Applin. All music is original and has been composed, arranged and directed by Rebecca Applin. The production has been produced and directed by Martin Wright and was devised over several months working with pupils from Abbey Hill School and Performing Arts Academy, Haringey Sixth Form Centre and College Park School. Other than the role of the Spirit taken by Kali Perkins, all other parts were performed entirely by pupils from the participating schools. The intended audience is similar schools with SEN provision and is designed to encourage such schools to produce the musical themselves. The programme will also appear on BBC Learning Zone Class clips in due course and will be supported with downloadable scores, lyrics and MP3 backing tracks.
