I recently finished work on the second of two commercials for HP at Nexus. You can see the first (called Google Maps) here.

Directed by Smith and Foulkes, 3D at Nexus Productions and compositing at TBA.

Earlier this year I worked with Joji (Woof Wan Bau) planning and supervising the shoot for this commercial. It was a lot of fun, if a little noisy. Photographs from the shoot are here.

Last year I travelled to Buenos Aires with Nexus to supervise the Coke Avatar shoot. Here’s some photographs.

Congratulations to Smith & Foulkes plus all the crew who worked so hard on This Way Up. It’s been nominated for an Oscar!.

Here’s the results page.

A few months back Nexus finished work on a Coke commercial for the Olympic games, directed by Smith and Foulkes. This is a stupendiously packed 30 second spot featuring basketball players Lebron James and Yao Ming.

The spot was produced at HD resolution and therefore required a huge amount of detail in the 40-something characters that we ended up building. We were lucky to have a fantastic team that really believed in the project and put a huge amount of work that probably isn’t always visable in the low res versions flying around the Internet.

There’s a Hires copy up on the Nexus Productions website that does the project a lot more justice - click here.

The project was also a chance to team up with Mike Skrgatic, James Allen and Sheldon Gardener at The End. They put in a huge amount of work in Flame crafting all the 3D to come together in a much more cinematic way.

I’ll post some work in progress images and a few photographs from the shoot over the next week.
