2011 was super busy for me, thanks to all the agencies and companies who got me involved and were down for some collaborative all-round radness. Here’s a few of my favourite motion graphics pieces from during the year…

Karmarama: KTV news

Back toward the end of April when we were all enjoying the unseasonably warm days, with a pair of 4 day weekends back to back, this neat little project swung by my way – a short news sting for a fictional news broadcast by London agency Karmarama. In and out the door in a couple of days, woo-hoo!

Evoque Live

This is a short edit of a collection of shots I made for the lavish launch show for Range Rover’s Evoque series in May 2011. The tune comes from the soundtrack to the show, though we originally used a different, orchestral sound for this section. I’ve re-rendered a few shots to get them to a more eyeball/monitor friendly size – the original pieces weighed in at a neck twisting 3600px x 360px.

Hyundai i40

Toward the end of November, Hyundai wanted some motion graphics pieces to help reveal their new i40 car. This is what I made with 3 studio photos of the car. Hyped on this one, turned out good!

I recently helped out good friend, citizen of Bray, Co.Wicklow and cinematographer of epic proportions Phil Evans with his Format Perspective documentary.

Bankrolled by clothing brand Carhartt, Format Perspective is a 1 hour documentary and extremely sexy coffee table book about the work, life, motivation, visual style and of 6 skateboard photographers from various parts of Europe, ranging from the pro-am enthusiast to the magazine editor to the fine artist to the team manager and everything in between. It’s shot entirely on Super 8 movie film and made with bits of real panther, so you know it’s good.

Long overdue, this is my latest motion graphics showreel featuring some of my favourite work from over the past 18 months or so.

Best viewed HD, full screen and full volume – for more info on what shots & work make it up, check this out.
Enjoy…

Following on from a busy April was a more hectic and busier May.  Topping off the month, which included some tidy regular jobs and unfortunately turning down a handful more, was this batch of live visuals for Range Rover’s Evoque Live launch.

The purpose-built 150-seater theatre/cinema had a screen measuring 4m high x 40m wide, which provided a wrap-around view for the visuals and made for some epic eye-candy, along with a whole load of different considerations and parameters to bear in mind beforehand.   Read more about the work involved here…

These were good laugh to do for DC toward the tail end of the summer.  Made the trek to Truro, several train journeys over to Cardiff and traipsed around Bristol with all the kit, got busy with the aould camera, the boys all delivered the goods on and off the board, then I went and chopped it up, put it all together and added some polish, which was tight.
