It was really fun creating a series of 3D anamorphic billboard displays to celebrate @pepsisouthafrica 's rebrand last year. A simple brief evolved into a complex animation that included dynamic water simulations. __________ Agency: @mcsaatchiafrica Prod Company: @thenagain_co

In-studio RnD @thenagain_co I adapted a 2D motion graphics piece for @yesdefinitelyyes animated by @riaaaaaaaaaaan and illustrated by @holliday.illustrates . The original design and animation is still used on the screen displays ✨ The focus was to mimic the 2D piece in a 3D space. So much camera trickery. Subsurface texturing galore! Pipe physics simulations done in @sidefxhoudini , the rest modelled, animated, textured, and rendered inside @blender.official #blender3d #cyclesrender #sidefx #sidefxhoudini #3d #3dmotiongraphics #motiongraphics

Some recent CGI work for Doritos' brand new flavour. When @helenandkim approached us, I had no idea how crazy the concept would become. It was a lot of fun bringing "BBQ Land" to life, where everything has a certain 'flavour' to it. Shout out to the awesome shooting team who were a blast to be with on set. ___________________________ Directors: @helenandkim Producer: @karen.kloppers.7 Prod Company: @mercymercy.tv Post: @thenpost.co Creative Director: @pwspeirs VFX & CGI: Me

FOOH viral marketing for an international motion picture... I'll let you guess which one that was! Awesome project created with the awesome people at @thegoonsquadltd and @influencer . Bringing a giant snake to life is the kind of brief you get when you hop on a call with @joshua_pieters and @tomwillows_mash - aligning and circling back has never been so much fun. What a project to end off 2025 with! Special thanks to @arj_shelley for help rigging this thing.

When @helenandkim came to us with this concept, I had no idea how I was going to pull it off. And I was so excited. Liquid Simulations are one thing, but controlling a liquid simulation to mesh together and form the specific shape of the Klover Crush carton? That was a challenge! This was an epic project that required so much problem solving and RND. But the result was so worth it, and I think it's super satisfying to watch. Big ups to @helenandkim , @karen.kloppers.7 , and @thenpost.co for making it happen.

Epic set extension that I had the pleasure of supervising and executing. Swipe for the breakdown! From Bishopscourt to Center Court Wimbledon, this set extension includes a fully realised 3D recreation of the arena populated with hundreds of digital doubles. _____________ Client: @deichmann_schuhe Prod Studio: @thenpost.co
