🎄✨ Ho ho ho, fellow festive friends! 🎉 So, gather 'round the digital fireplace because I've got a jolly little tale to share! Once upon a time, in the magical land of Blender, I embarked on my very first animation adventure, and let me tell you, it was a wild sleigh ride! 🛷💨 Picture this: a dazzling 3D Christmas extravaganza that sparkled brighter than Rudolph's nose! But alas, the clock was ticking like a mischievous elf, and before I knew it, I had to dash away to tackle other projects. ⏰🎁 So, while this merry masterpiece never made it past the test render stage, I still spent a few delightful days crafting and animating it, and boy, was it a blast! 🎨✨ Even though it didn't get to strut its stuff in the big holiday showcase, this little project was like a snowflake in my learning journey—unique and full of potential! ❄️🌟 Now, as I look back on this cheerful creation from a few years ago, I can't help but chuckle at how far I've traveled on my 3D adventure. It's like finding an old ornament and realising it still brings a twinkle to your eye! 🎄! Cheers to creativity, growth, and a sprinkle of Christmas magic! 🥳✨
Christmas Social Media Advert
After I did a quick thumbnail storyboard,
I made a early blocking stage animation using basic shapes. The main aim of this is to get the camera animation and see how the animation looks so any changes could be made iin the early stages of the process.
I then model all the elements in the scene and refined the animation. I then took the rendered scene into after effects and adding some colour grading and effects to see what it looked like before going back and finishing off the final scene added proper lighting effects and colour grading. I like working on this concept piece and would have liked to finish properly.
Spot Light Project: The Art of the Pitch
Apart of being a motion graphics designer is pitching ideas internally or to clients. Creating a pitch is a great way to show your idea, from quick storyboard, concept art and character design. These can be a great way to inform the overall look and style of the animation project you are pitching. This was an internal idea that I had to combine multiple different types of animation, I wanted to switch between 2D, 3D, Stop Motion and live action animation.
Rig Testing in After Effects
3D Animatic
Blender Project
Calex Internal Project.
The animation team was tasked with making an internal video that explains usage of company cars. We had full creative license to produce a short video. My role in this production was to make and rig the 3D assets in Blender, some assets like the pound symbol, and car dashboard icons were made by some of the other animators. I set up the lit and set up the scenes in Blender for the other animators to animate. Each scene was then rendered out out and edited together and additional V.O and graphics added in After Effects where added by me. With final editing in Premiere Pro and rendered using Media Encoder.

Video Mapping Animation
I was apart of the Plymouth Illuminate Light festival video mapping animations onto the Williams Yard. I animation was based on the history of Plymouth during its historical history, remembering that our nautical history has a dark past in the global slave trade.

Work
Creating and designing are integral components of my work, allowing me to transform ideas into tangible designs. First step of the project is talking with the client and taking notes, listening to the clients ideas, wants and needs. This helps inform me when it comes to the design stage. The notes help me develop ideas through rough sketching designs. This process not only fuels my creativity but also ensures that the final design helps me hit the clients objectives and creates a visual identity and needs.
Calex Media
Client work: Jo Gaunt
Below are a couple of concept designs I did for a client while working at Calex Media. The client wanted a logo design that had an owl design and had to have a muted colour scheme, I did a few rough sketch variation designs before locking down on four of my favourite designs. I then remade the designs in Adobe Illustrator. Before send them initial ideas to the client. After the client is happy with a deign, then any client feedback adjustments are made to the designs before making some variations on the colour scheme.
Web Page Design
Calex UK Ltd
In addition to my motion graphics design work at Calex, I contributed to redesigning our new media website. One of my ideas for the homepage involved using stylised graphics. I aimed to enhance the visual appeal of the page, moving beyond just presenting information and details. By incorporating bold contrasting colours and modern designs, I wanted to create a more engaging experience for visitors.

Freelance Client work: Musician
I was contacted by musician Chris to create his new music album called Subtraction. Chris wanted me to create an album cover based on a photo he had taken of his dog! I also created and designed a gig poster and two social media adverts for Chris. If you would like to hear Chris's music please head over to his website - you wont be disappointed.
