20 Years in 20 Seconds! The last of these ( probably ) as I’ve run out of track… An amazing 4 years working independently with some wicked partners. Big thanks to all those who collaborated: @highlyunlikelyuk @stayfamilia @jamm.vfx @timebasedarts @electric.theatre.collective @untold_studios @freerangevfx @hey.carbon @coffeetvstudio @millchannel @alt.vfx Looking forward to continuing the trend in #LA and beyond! #director #commercials #advertising #film #vfx #visualeffects #vfxsupervisor #vfxartist #post #creative #cg #cgi #fx #compositing #animation #design #vr #360 #immersive Illustration by @miniminitinimini

It's #worldvfxday. Here's to VFX with Johnnie Walker 'Tree', the first commercial I was lucky enough to work on back in 2004. Eyes wide with excitement, fear, and little sleep while learning on the job. Not much has changed! Hats off to all the amazing friends I've made and collaborated with across this insane VFX industry, and to all those awesome humans I don't know smashing it in VFX everyday across the world! Let's make it better 🙌 #vfx #cg #cgi #animation #maya #mayarender #paintfx #fx #simulation #pal

Great to see the team @freerangevfx being shortlisted for their epic #cgi work on our LEGO spot! Fingers crossed for the finals! 🤞🙌 #awesome #vfx #animation #AICPAwards

Cheers Peers! Very much appreciate being given the rare chance to have an opinion on some of the amazing creative and talent out there. Thank you @theaicp! #AICPawards #CGI #postproduction #vfx #creative #animation #film #tv #commercials

Friday #fun with some #vfx #BTS from our LEGO City #Stuntz spot. The crew @freerangevfx are true creative collaborators! They always bring their flare to the table, running with the brief for a one take #drone shot finale, and even rolling in aesthetics from dodgy macro lensed GoPro test footage I shot 🤣🙌🏻 Thank you for the wicked work!

Succession, Gangs of London, Bridgerton, Stranger Things… Whaaaat?! 🤯 Another sweet partnership between @skycreative and @stayfamilia, this time showcasing the insane stories created by @sky partnered with @netflix! On location in South Africa, @robot_sa facilitated building world's for the 4x iconic shows. @carostorydesigns and @buckjordan bring it once again ( not only as awesome humans, but madly talented folk ). VFX smoothly brought to life by @electric.theatre.collective 🙌🏻 Thank you to the entire team for the collaboration!

I never thought, when reading Jump Comic as a kid in Tokyo, that I'd ever work on something so #anime inspired. @highlyunlikelyuk partnered with the very talented @picnicstudio on this film, and it was fantastic fun bringing the creative to life for @lego. Thanks to all the #team making it work remotely. I’m very proud of this one, and the #passion was very present from all throughout! #becuriousbeninja #lego #ninjago #director #film #filmdirector #tvc #commercials #advertising #creative #compositing #animation #manga #art #illustration #digitalart #cartoon #design #drawing #artwork #aftereffects #sketch #handdrawn #characterdesign #animated Client: LEGO Agency Producer: Lars Bartkær Creative Directors: Mervin Ignacio & Tobias Prag Director: David Mellor DOP: Jordan Buck @buckjordan Producer: Marilyn Napaul @delamercreole Executive Producer: Alexander Davis @thatproduceralex Editor: Laura Cairney-Keize @laura.c.k @trimediting Grade: Maria Carretero @carretero.color @niceshoesonline Music & Sound Design: @bxftys Online Editor: James Littlemore Picnic Animation Studio: Executive Producer: Mina Song Producer: Shaun Adamson Animation Director: Liam O’Connor Animators: Leandro Vargas, Felix Mulenga, Thành Tranh, Phuong Nguyễn.

It's been an incredible month, beginning the journey into Unreal Engine along with the exciting possibilities for the future of VFX and story telling. A host of incredible shorts from all the fellows will be hitting the world soon. What a humbling and inspiring experience which is only going to continue! Thank you @EpicGames for the opportunity. #EpicGames #UnrealEngine #UE4 #VirtualProduction #VFX

#LEGO and #Nintendo!? In another fun partnership with @highlyunlikelyuk for The LEGO Agency, we delivered this #TVC under full lockdown conditions. More than 50% of the final film was directed remotely, shooting new action sequences along with some cheeky hidden VFX and cute CGI animation to bring Mario and Boomer Bill to life! This was then seamlessly edited together with existing footage ( shot pre-covid with a full crew! ) which we augmented to spice up the energy. Remote attendance from US, UK and Denmark brought some unusually creative solutions that even saw a shot in which the camera op, focus puller, DOP and talent were all from the same family! It was also a blast working with Hudsen for the energetic VO, pushing the feeling of unexpected adventure throughout the film.

#Imagination to #chickenscratch to #reality. With a few steps in-between.
