‘In this moment of unprecedented prosperity and technological advancement, we find ourselves in a paradox: we are divided.’ 

Inspired by recent paradigm shifts in global politics, Other Side is a full CG-animated short film exploring the increasing divide between social groups and ideologies. In questioning the dominance of ideas such as meritocracy and individuality, Other Side suggests the possibility of alternative ways to think, and to live.

A surreal and experimental arts piece combining woman and bird to tell a beautiful visual story within an imaginary world of intricate colour and detail.

Process Film:

Working with SR Partners, we created a teaser and launch film for a new Nvidia product: A series of collector's edition Star Wars Titan X Graphics Cards.

The film teases with abstract and obscure product shots that walk a balance between the aesthetics of a product and a Star Wars film trailer!

Process Reel:

I worked as a 3d animator with Run Kick Shout Studio on this high-energy season opener for the Chicago Wolves ice hockey team. This short film details an explosive square-off between a forward and a goalie, where fire meets ice!

Process Film:

Working with Nice and Serious, I worked as a 3d artist on this film for Ben and Jerry's. One Sweet World tells a story of hope overcoming hate, and unity overcoming separation, at a time where fear and hatred are on the rise.

We created two more of our moving wallpapers for Pro7. Fluffy soft shapes and hard glass object it is this time, both illuminated from within.

In a world where everything, down to a country's nuclear defense programme, has been privatised, the responsibility of deterrence theory falls on the citizens. This commercial provides a dark insight to such an exitence.

Made in Cinema 4d, rendered with Octane and composited in After Effects.
