Vodafone Animations for TV & Social

Client - Vodafone

While I have made many different animations for Vodafone, here I’ve focused on the 2023 Christmas TV & social campaign. For the main 16x9 TV and social adverts I used and manipulated pre-made assets to create animate them.

For the Carousel and 9x16 advertisements I animated pre-made static advertisements.

This is an example of one of the regular Vodafone TV and social ads I would create and animated. For every campaign I would also redesign these to work in 9x16 and 1x1.

This is a test animation I enjoyed making for Mashable showing off some of the benefits of 5G.

Team Wang

Client - Team Wang

Team Wang is a brand created by Jackson Wang who is a popular Hong Kong rapper, singer, songwriter, dancer and fashion designer. Team Wang alone has millions of followers across the their different socials. This combined with how I really liked their vision for their new collection, it made me very happy to be approached to create the animation to help launch their new collection.

I don’t want to say too much and I’d rather let the animation speak for itself. What I will say is other than adapting some motion tracking animation this animation is 100% made by me, I created, modelled, lit and learned on the fly to implement cloth physics. Please give it a watch.

World of Warcraft Videos

Client - Activision Blizzard

World of Warcraft - Wrath of the Lich King Retrospective

With the rerelease of Wow - Wrath of the Lich King expansion, Activision Blizzard wanted to celebrate by bringing together creators to talk about their favourite moments from the original release and how it impacted them.

I edited the entire video and created all the motion graphics for the lower thirds, title and end cards. I also produced social versions in 9x16 and 1x1.

World of Warcraft - Dragonflight

I created two explainer videos for IGN in anticipation of the launch of the expansion Dragonflight. I also produced social versions in 1x1.

On top of animating I also developed and edited for social video campaigns. One below is for a drink launch and the other is for an event at the Beavertown Pub. Yes there’s a Beavertown Pub, and yes it’s pretty great.

IGN - Let's Plays Videos

Mario & Sonic: Can You Beat Our High Scores?

Client - Nintendo

Shooting and editing a Let’s Play competition, where three presenters compete against each other for the highest score. Custom scoreboards and picture in picture frames were created. While many of these games could be played in split screen, I choose to recored the first two with the hosts playing separately and editing them together myself. This gave me a lot more control overall to create the pace and enhance the humour, but it also helped me find and showcase the story. The last event was played split screen with all three hosts together. This was a great way to end to the video and enhanced the competitiveness as they were able to banter with each other while all trying to win. A social friendly version was also created.

Journey to the Savage Planet: Looting Challenge

Client - 505 Games

Shooting and editing a timed Lets Play looting challenge. Cutting between the studio and two gameplay feeds to create fun and intense competition. The game didn’t have a competitive mode built in, so the two hosts were playing a cooperative mode. The competition element had to be acheived through editing and highlighting the hosts chemistry. Part of the way I achieved this was through the music, faster paced editing and an on screen timer. A social friendly version was also created.

Mortal Kombat / Alienware Video Edit

Client - Alienware

Watch on Youtube, Facebook or Twitter. A complex edit that compares every Mortal Kombat fighting game. This is still my favourite video edits to date. Pitting the two most well known characters in the series against each other. They fight seamlessly through the oldest (1992) MK game right up until the most recent at the time (2019). I achieved this look through smart transitions and careful editing. I also spent time capturing the perfect gameplay for each of the games.

The video gathered over a million views on Facebook and just under 500,000 on Twitter, but I was more happy to see Ed Boon the creator and director of the entire MK series retweet the video.

Entertainment Advertisements

Here is just a small sample of some of the advertising work I’ve done for different brands.

The Boys

Client - Amazon

One of the best parts of The Boys is it’s diverse and strange set of characters. This interactive ad allows you to scroll through the cast of characters and watch videos related to them. This worked great to prep for the next season.

Fallout 76

Clients - Bethesda & Microsoft

This interactive ad emulates the inside of an iconic Fallout vault. Users are able to explore Fallout 76 articles and videos by clicking on related objects. A pre and a post version of the ad was created. The pre-launch ad was a normal day setting in the vault with a calendar that automatically counted down to release. The post launch ad was designed to look like a celebration day in the vault with more animations added to make it more eye-catching.

Netflix - The Witcher Videos & Social Content

Client - Netflix

Creating two videos, animations and social graphics for The Witcher TV series.

The Golden Ones (Music Video)

The Golden Ones is a song sung by Jaskier, one of the characters from the The Witcher TV Show. I created a music video using the episode with the events he’s referencing. Other than getting creative with editing the video, I also made the motion graphics for the flaming karaoke style lyrics. Versions were also created in 1x1 and 9x16 for other social platforms.

On Set Secrets with The Witcher Season 2 Cast

The interview footage for this video was filmed early into the covid lockdown, so sadly the footage captured wasn’t the best. Low quality interviews with audio stutter and syncing issues throughout. Despite that I spent a lot of time making the best video I could and I’m happy with the result.

Egg Hunt!

Taking screen grabs from the show to hide little eggs for the audience to find. I made an egg in 3D, so I had a nice high quality one to use throughout.

Total Jobs - Infographics
