This is a roundup of various photographs from the End of 2008. They’re from Rochester, Bournemouth, The Lady Lever Art Gallery and the a few depicting the sad death of Woolies.

I’ve updated my photographs again. I’ve fallen behind on the monthly updates this year so I’ve grouped them together a little randomly. There’s some photographs from the Coke Shoot in Cleveland, a trip to Bruges and a whole lot more.

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.

Sorry no posts for a while. I’ll put some new Nexus work up here in a few weeks.

In the mean time there’s always a few new photographs to check out. Isabel and I moved out of our much loved flat in Keats House Bethnal Green (photographs). Then Sarah and I spent new years in a tiny cottage (photographs).

My recent mucking about with stop motion meant I got the chance to make this little spoof Behind the Scenes documentary to go with Pic Pic Andre’s amazing Cravendale commercials.

It’s also online at the Cravendale site.

And on You Tube
