White Cat Cafe / Personal Short Film. Ongoing (currently on hold)
top
This is a short film I've been working on in my free time over the past few years. It started as an opportunity to improve my creative and technical skills, and as an outlet for ideas. I was very inspired by some Japanese short films and wanted to try to reach that high level of quality and interesting feel on my own. This film is entirely my work, from initial story layout and design through all levels of 2D/3D and into the final composite.
Currently I have around 3 minutes of the film complete, and the rest is in varying stages of production. It is on hold until I can find some more time to complete it.

This is a commercial for a Sony Cybershot camera. It shows a man sitting on a couch divided into 2 halves. My role was to create the black surface where his body is cut, track it to the actor's movements and shade/render.

These are 3 car commercials for Nissan's Dualis. The car transforms into a Japanese Mech-type vehicle and runs around the city. Unfortunately due to scheduling constraints I only had a small role on this job. My main task was to build the neccessary blendshape's and parts for the robot to transform to a car and vice-versa. I also animated the few shots shown on my demoreel.
