Dead Island 2 - E3 Trailer

The 2nd E3 2014 trailer I worked was Dead Island 2 for Axis animation.It was a fantastic project to be involved in,during my time on the project I worked on modelling/texturing of environments,vehicles and props throughout the entire trailer and saw it progress from the early stages to completion.It's been a great experience working in the studio and I know I would have loved the final trailer even it wasn't a part making it (was a big fan of the 1st trailer!).

Crackdown - E3 Trailer

Speed Modelling / Product renders

Over the last few months I worked on a pretty wide variety of projects,one of these was modelling and rendering prototypes/products.I worked on everything from key-chains to colanders building models for 3d printing and interactive displays.The real challenge was to get them modelled and rendered within a deadline of just a few hours for promotional campaigns/websites,this is just a handful of the ones I worked on.

Halo 4:Spartan Ops finale

Halo 4's cinematic series 'Spartan Ops' came to an end yesterday with the 10th episode Exodus.I worked environment modelling on the series part-way through last year and its been really exciting watching as new episodes came online. With the finale out it was a nice surprised to see they had added full credits,a very cool little end to what's been an amazing project.

Made my day!

Making of Halo 4 Spartan Ops

Spartan Ops is now on its 5th episode.The company behind it 'Axis Animation' (best known for the Dead Island trailer) has released a 'Making of..' showing some of the production of the cgi mini series.I was lucky enough to work environment modelling on the series and its been really exciting waiting for weekly episodes to come out and looking out for my models/scenes.Earlier this year I got see some of the concepts and animatic's for shots I was working on,its been great seeing it from that early work to the final quality and it  was an amazing experience.With 5 more episodes to go there's lots more to come..

Latest work: Halo 4

A few months back I worked on a very cool project,after a long wait it's finally been released.Halo 4!.I worked modelling environments and props on the 'Spartan ops' cinematic mini series.Each week for ten weeks a CGI short movie kicks of new downloadable game content for the Xbox game starting this week with Episode 1: Departure. I'm in the process of updating my website so eventually I will collect together the scenes I worked on and post some more detailed information (as well as updates on a few more upcoming projects) but for now here's the first episode,the majority of my work on this episode starts from around the 3:50 mark.
