Generalist Showreel

 

I'm a Generalist who wants to do the Nerd-trifecta.

Working in Film, Games and Comics.

Video compositing - I composited, filmed and acted in the shots using my actual volunteer firefighting uniform. For the fire, I used Unreal 3d fire assets on a black background, alot of smoke assets I have.

Creature - is from an upcoming project I have been working on. Where something that used to be human now travels on all fours.

​It’s also my take on trying to make a high-budget movie monster, mostly by myself (Kiss the Cook logo by Thomas).

Trying to get things as polished as possible while walking a line between stylised and realistic.

​

MatchmoveI recorded the video with planned tracking markers, some to be removed and others left (rocks you wouldn’t notice). Tracked it in After Effects before bringing it into Maya.

I use this opportunity to use my clapper board and my chrome ball and gray ball I had made for such a purpose, using them as a on-set reference before taking similar assets and putting them in the virtual set to get it as close as I can.

​

Game opening cutscene - I animated the voucher landing. It was a bit challenging because the original design was in an action pose (originally intended for stills and not movement). Bandit created the voucher's design for this clip.

Music video animation - I animated an entire commissioned music video by myself in a month. All sound was provided by them, and I composited it all together.

Character - I'm trying to show acting where, if you hear bad news you're not instantly sad.

Character 2 - I animated them trying to keep it fun and have the viewer guessing what would happen next, because the original audio is really out of left field. The audio was from The Adventure Zone podcast. 

Game character - I animated walking, and attacking animations. The animations were made to be instant, especially the attacking.​

Colour correct - Was done in after effects. I made it to show I can do it.

I took the background photo, the space ship is from District 9, I colour correct it to make it seem as though it was in the sence, I used a lens flair* I have over them before adding effects to the hole*.

Object removed - I removed the sign, Because I was moving and there are trees in the background it was a bit tricky.

Motion graphic - I tried making motion graphics that we all would like to see.​

Game opening cutscene 2 - I animated the placeholders to act as if they don't care about us and the horror behind the camera.
