MILLIE & LOU - Background Painting
Millie & Lou

Background paintings done for the Youtube pre-school series Millie & Lou, created by Blue Zoo Animation Studios. As this was a short form episodic project these backgrounds were painted both from scratch and with re-usable library assets. Some elements also had to be re-painted into riggable props for Harmony animators.

CATKIN - Graduate Film
Catkin

As Catkin was a solo piece it was important for production to be as streamlined as possible. The garden and bedroom environments were created to scale in Maya so that layouts could be created and tweaked with ease before any painting took place. To enhance realism, lighting was also rendered so that it could be replicated at the paint stage to ensure consistency between shots.

SANCTUARY by Freddie Gerrard-Abbott - Concept Art

Work for this commission came in three parts, one of which was to design a virtual reality laboratory for one of the film's sets. The set would have to be created within a classroom at the University of Hertfordshire so the design had to incorporate existing objects in the room.
