How I work
Working from CAD,
in your brand style
I'm a 3D animator with an engineering background. I work from CAD data and reference material, and I ask my questions early so the detail is right. I'm used to working inside agency and in-house teams, in the client's own brand style and often under NDA.
Freelance or contract
Available for freelance and contract bookings, on site in the Midlands or remote.
Your brand style
Each film is made to the client's brand guidelines, so it fits with the rest of their material.
- BriefA call to understand the product, the audience and where the film will be shown.
- StoryboardStyle frames and a shot plan, agreed before any heavy rendering starts.
- AnimaticA timed rough cut of the film, so pacing and story are signed off before final animation.
- DeliveryFinal animation built from your CAD or reference material, delivered as masters plus cut-downs for web, social and event screens.
