A variety of clips and scenes showcases a broad range of skills and techniques used to produce photorealistic renders. Each clip and scene has been rendered out using either Blender 3D’s Cycles or EEVEE render engine.
Each scene and clip offers up something different to the last. The collection gives the viewer a comprehensive understanding of what skills and methods are on offer.
Motion Graphics
Utilising Blender 3D’s versatile internal physics engine, a range of motion graphics has been created.
To maintain speed during the creative process, EEVEE’s lightning-fast render engine has been implemented. This allows for a speedy and flexible workflow without sacrificing the quality of the end product.
VFX Elements
‘The Rochdale Pioneers’ is a feature film first broadcast on ‘Film4’. This production required the removal of modern-day elements.
A number of signs, satellite dishes, telegraph poles, etc have been removed using techniques such as motion tracking, match moving and the creation of digital plates.
Once the shots had been prepared, additional elements were added to evoke the period of 1844.
VFX Rig Removal
‘The Palace’ is a stop-motion animation I co-directed and produced. Much of the post-production is centred around rig removal of the main character.
With nearly every shot requiring some level of removal it is essential to create a fast workflow.
Implementing traveling masks and blank plates allows for a much faster process and overall a much better end product.
