3D Animation and 2D Compositing

3D Modelling and Motion Graphics

This 3D animation was created for an installation project, requiring modelling, hair simulation and lighting. Designed to be projected onto Perspex glass, the work explores how animated imagery can interact with physical space.

3D Animation/Compositing

This mixed-media animation combined 3D modelling, rigging, texturing in Substance Painter and character animation. The final sequence was composited into a live-action miniature set, blending digital animation with practical environments.

3D Animation

An animation-focused project using a pre-made 3D character model and rig, with an emphasis on character performance, movement, timing and storytelling through animation.

3D Mixed Media Animation

A mixed-media project creating a fictional film trailer, combining prototype 3D animation, still imagery and stock footage. The project explores visual storytelling through the integration of diverse media, editing and compositing techniques.

2D Compositing

Led the creative compositing process for an advertising campaign for the Robert Connor Dawes Foundation, using Adobe After Effects to develop the visual treatment, integrate visual elements and shape the final look and feel of the campaign.

2D/Stop Motion Compositing

I was selected for a small, exclusive group of students to composite this stop motion project for the Data Arena at the University of Technology Sydney. It is the Southern Hemisphere’s highest-resolution 360-degree immersive visualization facility.

The true file had a whopping resolution of 20,000×1200, and its creation required not only the collaboration of my 4 fellow compositors, but also included the wrangling of footage from 200 individual students on a tight deadline.

Experimental Compositing

An experimental compositing project exploring colour, atmosphere and visual distortion through layered imagery and digital effects. Created entirely in Adobe After Effects, with an emphasis on developing a distinctive visual aesthetic through creative compositing techniques.

Compositing & Motion Graphics

Created a motion graphics and compositing-led advertisement for Jeddle, developing the visual language, pacing and transitions to bring the campaign's creative vision together in a cohesive promotional piece.
