Wicked Sunshine Demo Reel Intro 2002

This piece I created with After Effects and a few Illustrator illustrations. To showcase design I used only 3 effects (blur, static and wave) rather than showing off many filters. I really enjoyed mixing the music.

Hershey's Kiss 'Serenade'
Guru Studio, Toronto 2000

I built most of the set and animated these two scenes in Maya. I did not render. I worked on 4 Hershey's Kiss spots.

'Brain Intro (Eyes)'
Bee Vision, Toronto 1995

Part of an opening animation for an interactive CD (that was perfect for the music).

Quaker Toasted Oats 'Kite'
Pitch, New York 2000

I rigged and animated these kite scenes (a tricky challenge) in SoftImage. I had a small part in rendering and post.

NesQuik 'Space'
Guru, Toronto 2000

Chuck Gammage Studio (Guru's sister company) did the 2D animation. I created the 3D animation with Maya and some dynamics. I did not render (LightWave).

Sesame Street 'Beans'
Click 3X, New York 1998

I created this text element with SoftImage and Eddie.

PrimeStar 'Ribbon'
Click 3X, New York 1998

I storyboarded and animated these scenes with SoftImage. I helped rig the character. I did not light or texture.

Quaker Toasted Oats 'Coals'
Pitch, New York 2000

I animated these scenes in SoftImage. I helped design the rig. I did not render.

Hershey's Kiss 'Bench'
Guru, Toronto 1999

I animated this scene in Maya. I did not rig or render.

Dryel 'Wavelets'
Click 3x, New York 1997

I designed the appearance and rigs for these demos though I did not animate this particular scene. I animated a similar more complex scene (that I was unable to archive a copy) in which the wavelets pass through fabric while the scene cross-dissolves into the Dryel logo, all while the camera zooms out (using nested imagery) to reveal the whole Dryel box package. Created with SoftImage and Eddie.

Cookie Crisp 'Bowl'
Click 3X, New York 1998

I created this with SoftImage and Eddie. (Originally for this scene I made a nice chocolate powder tornado using SoftImage Particles. The chips were a last minute replacement when the agency found out they could legally use chocolate chips.)

Adidas 'Mercury'
Click 3X, New York 1997

The mercury was created with SoftImage and Eddie. Additional post was done in Flame.

NesQuik 'Space'
Guru, Toronto 2000

I created the 3D animation in Maya with no dynamics. This long scene was all animated by hand. I did not render (LightWave). Chuck Gammage Studio (Guru's sister company) did the 2D animation to be crossed over with live action footage of a boy stirring.

Advantage 'Rockin Robin'
Click 3X, New York 1998

I animated the lead singing center dog muzzle in SoftImage.

Waffle Crisp 'Net Hackers'
Topix, Toronto 1996

I designed the 2D elements (many times over) in Photoshop and 3D elements in SoftImage that were composited in Flame. (Talk about waffling clients.)

3M Scotch-Brite 'Sponge (Regular)'
Pitch, New York 1999

I storyboarded, made animatics and supervised these spots, but I did not animate any sponge scenes.

'Protest'
Pitch, New York 1999

I animated the paper at the end of this environmental short for film and HDTV made in 3D Studio Max 2.5 and After Effects.
