Showreel
Whitestone Media
A corporate video explaining new security measures using a 3D composited elephant to make the comparisons. Using inspiration from the phrase “the elephant in the room”, Jamie worked with Whitestone Media to create this photorealistic elephant and composite him into the scene of this light hearted but informative corporate piece.

The Giant PreProduction Pitch – 72 Films
A very short turn around for a pre production pitch. As time was short they bought the 3D model of which Jamie then textured, lit, rendered and composited into each scene to make a short buzz video in order to help the production team win the pitch.

Trailblazers – National Geographic
Jamie worked with a small team to create the series graphics for this popular National Geographic show. He was tasked to manage the 3D visualisations of the navigation and to really capture visually the drama and tension that the show conveyed. Each zone featured a completely unique style that fit the theme of the scenery and also was different enough to be easily recognisable by the viewer.

Science Of Stupid – National Geographic
Jamie managed a small team in creating the series graphics over 3 seasons for this this show which has now totaled in over 150 unique 3D graphics. He developed and modelled the character originally designed in 2D to a fully rigged 3D character to use in each animation of which he animated many. Over the series the character has evolved to be more anatomically correct to better help the science while keeping his cartoon style. Jamie consulted with a dedicated graphics post producer as well as series producer and scientists to make sure each animation was scientifically correct and fit its narrative purpose.

Different For Girls – Jackdaw Productions
‘Different for Girls’ is a ground breaking, sexy LGTBQ drama web series set in West London written by Jacquie Lawrence, produced by Fizz Milton, directed by Campbell X and shot by Oona Menges. Jamie made the title sequence for this show that fit the style set out by the author Jacquie Lawrence and the Production Company. He made the assets in Illustrator and brought them in to Cinema 4D to animate in 3D. A series of 3D animations were made to create a series of mattes for which Jamie composited in After Effects. Combining the mattes with some live action footage and a bit of motion magic ending up in a cool, modern title sequence for a show that pushes boundaries.
