For more than a decade my professional practice as a video producer and media studio operator has been centred on telling the stories of Australian service, sacrifice and remembrance.
Productions including stories about Kokoda and WW2 veterans, Australian women widowed by war and the RASIGS centenary - these reflect a sustained, values-driven commitment to veteran storytelling.
I bring a proven foundation in visual communication and infographics developed over more than a decade of independent media production which can be seen in my 2D/3D animation and motion graphics video work. My commercial experience covers illustration (by hand) and concept sketching - through to fully realised digital production pipelines which bring software skills including the Adobe Creative Suite (i.e. Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects), Blender, Autodesk Maya and the Reallusion suite (for lifelike character animation).
This cross-disciplinary fluency allows me to move between stylised 2D graphic elements such as typography and data-driven infographic sequences to more complex 3D visualisations (such as maps and engineering schematics) — integrating all facets into a single piece of animation.
These infographic and motion graphics clips can sit in supporting brief sections within the whole span of a project and are most often used to clarify and highlight important ideas in the story.
Driven by curiosity and as a test around AI technology and how it might be applied to digital media - this WW1 ‘digger’ character was developed as a reference sheet which could be used for further evolutions or animation as it is.
All parts of this character as well as his uniform are as historically accurate as possible using photographic and other sources. Sources included - Osprey Publishing, AWM Wartime magazine and Graham Turner’s paintings.
