Microsoft Bing – Run Once

This project began in November 2012 and was supposed to be a turnaround of about a month, however the final project ended up finished and going live in August 2013! A project like this should not have taken so long but huge client changes forced restarts on graphics and D&E going out of business meant that completing the project was tricky. I started the project as Senior Hybrid Designer at D&E (and finished it as a freelancer) which saw me assume the role of lead designer too. Over the course of the project I worked leading a number of freelancers in order to complete the work, however it wasn’t until June that most of the work came together. After two reshoots, five major script overhauls (start again), two voiceovers, three music tracks and a storyboard that finalised at v26(!) we finally got the thing done.

Bring Run Once (v2) is due to go live in the UK only where it will have it’s own Microsite and some clever web trickery to make it into a working Bing Search Page.

Virgin Media: Superfast Broadband

My first project at D&E, I animated, rendered and composited various bits and pieces across four separate deliverables. I came to the project with about 60% of the work having been done and spent about two weeks helping the team finish off the rest of the work. Software used C4D, After Effects & Colour Finesse.

Camel Centenary Microsite

Camel Centenary Microsite

Fitch supplied Duke & Earl with a hefty design document for Camel cigarettes, with a vision for us to complete the animation and digital build of an internal desktop application. I assumed the role of producer for all the graphic elements and animated aspects of the design, as well as being a key animator in the process. This meant that I was responsible for the design, animation and delivery of all visual elements to Leuker Interactive for the build. In total there were 130 assets, of which 40 were fully animated.

For a demo of the application please get in touch.
