Venus and the Sun

Venus and the Sun is a live action short featuring Keeley Hazell. These images were placed in a book she was to be looking through. I was asked to emulate a Rackham sort of look for the illustrations. Like most things in animation or advertising, these were done under a very quick schedule.

Charmin Koala

Some koala designs for Passion-Pictures. These were for a Charmin toilet paper advertisement.

Burberry girls

These are a couple of preliminary designs done for Passion while they where working with Burberry. CGI models were to be created of the various designs and then were to be used for a holographic show similar to the one the Gorillaz did with Madonna. In the end, other more stoic designs were used done by a different designer.

Shane Doyle

I have known Shane for years and I think he is a great designer. He did these great drawings a while back and I wanted to color them- so I did. Some of his work can be found here http://shanedoyle-slappyface.blogspot.ca/

Beatles: Rockband

This is what you get when you have Rob Valley designing and Peter Candeland Directing. I had a blast working with the fellas and all the folks at Passion-Pictures again on this job. I researched and analyzed various references for each particular Beatle to try and get their own particular movements right.

Gorillaz

Now these were fun to work on. Not only are the Gorillaz characters amazing designs, but there was a great bunch of Animators, Assistants, BG painters and production staff to work with on these jobs as well. Peter Candeland, Robert Valley, Dan Sumich and Jamie Hewlett Directing.

David Attenborough Natural Curiosities

I am a HUGE Sir David Attenborough fan. The work that he has accomplished over his carrier has been a staggering asset to the animation industry.  When it comes to finding reference on how and why an animal should move in a certain way, David and his crew have likely filmed it. When Passion asked me to animate on a commercial featuring him I jumped at it. Adam Parry directed the spot and I think he did a brilliant job under what was a break neck schedule. Great guy to work with as well.
