Article in DV user mag about supervising "Champs" commercial

The wonderful Brian Cantwell from Soho Editors kindly asked me to write this article about VFX supervising a commercial for "Champs sports", for Soho based company Th1ng.

It came out in last months issue of the "DV user" mag:

Just found this in my archive..Dirk Bach as "Flora"

Dirk Bach- rest in peace little man. A little man maybe, but what an actor he was!

This still is from some On air Promotion Promo I directed some 20 years ago for the German Channel ZDF. He was incredibly gifted but was constantly used way under his real acting potential. What a shame, would have loved to see him in some more great roles.

Farewell!

Treble the IQ of any child, or indeed adult, by putting them in front of "Pirates! In an adventure with scientists!"

Yes, "Pirates! In an adventure with scientists!" is out on DVD.

I was on board as a Senior Digital Artist. I had various tasks:

Cloud point data and on set photography, stereoscopic Nuke compositing and animating Cg elements,fluid simulations, modeling, texturing and shading in Mudbox and Renderman............

Plus "prevising" Queen Victoria fighting in her underpants!

Here is a highly entertaning guardian review:

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.

CBBC's "Spirit Warriors" on iplayer again

Kids show I supervised in 2009, 1100 shots, every trick in the box on a shoe string budget.
Also learned a lot about love and compassion with production companies on this one.
