A still shot from a motion piece. A mesh 'mask' forms around the figure. This mesh isn't always in synch with the figure and distorts yet always remains. Restrictive. The distortion may be subtle at times but it always remains.
The models were textured in Cinema4d, the distortion acheived through plane effectors. The scene was composed in After Effects and assembled in Premier.

An early experimental still for a motion piece. Distorting the external mesh 'mask' over an underlying model.

A still shot from a motion piece. I animated the figure to respond to a blow using a Mixam animation. A little motion blur was added in After Effects afterwards.

A Fictional User Interface (FUI) piece using a still from a motion piece.
The models were created in Cinema4d, the distortion acheived through plane effectors. The image was then created in Photoshop.

I saw this style of diagram/chart in an Archaeology text book and thought it would make an interesting data presentation for a Fictional User Interface (FUI).
The assets were built in Illustrator and brought into Photoshop.

Playing with callouts - the relationship between image and text. This FUI piece is loosely based on neurology. The idea of connections in the brain, the callouts presenting the monitored reactions.
The 3d image was created in Cinema4d and brought into Photoshop for manipulation.

Exploring the relationship between image and graphs. I was inspired by this kind of data presentation and how it work with imagery to form a fictional data design/user interface.

A still from a music visualiser.
This uses Cinema4d's sound effector. The piece of music for this particular still was one I created myself in Garage Band.

Giving in to my love of physical, analogue control panels of all kinds, whether they be those found in music mixing decks or nuclear reactors, I 'digitised' some found examples.

A big fan of 2001, I decided to pay a little homage to HAL after visiting the Kubrik exhibition in London. It was fantastic to be able to stand for ages in front of the HAL graphics and really study them.
My Reebok treadmill inspired the style for the assets.

I'd been thinking about how our true self is surrounded by layers of 'protection' and how we appear differently depending on the person we are with. These layers are even different depending on what aspect of ourselves is present. I explored this initially with a 2d sketch and then wanted to create a 3d example, whilst trying to maintain an organic feel. Translucent layers are built around a core of light and the fewer the layers, the brighter the core.
Built in Cinema4d.

Still from a motion piece.
Inspired by Ted Chiang’s beautiful story, ‘The Great Silence’ which describes the Arecibo Message. This is my visualisation of the seven part message (that was originally broadcast in 1974 from the Arecibo Radio Telescope and aimed towards star cluster M13). Lots to work on, but played with 3D, cameras & lighting in AfterEffects plus had a crack at creating the sound/music myself.

One of a series of images I created capturing scenes from MR James' Ghost Stories. This one is inspired by 'Canon Alberic's Scrapbook'.
I set myself this project in order to learn modelling, texturing and lighting in Cinema4d.
