October 2012 - March 2013
London, United Kingdom
Working on the channel rebrand for Al Jazeera's kid's channel, Jeem.
I worked on 2 idents ('Football' and 'Underwater') from the beginning, under the direction of Paul Wilkinson, Russel Hilliard and Nicky Thompson; from concept art and style frames, colour palettes, environments, through to various pre viz, animatics and the final animation.
Gerald Crome modelled and animated the robots ( I managed to animate the goalie myself) and modelled the submarine. There was alot of other people involved to help create these: the entire production team, camera trackers, storyboard artists, editors, as well as the crew for the green screen shoots.
For the football idents I took Gerald's robot animations and dropped them into my 3D scenes, where I would texture, light and animate (the ball, the crowd, the net, logo resolve and so on in Cinema 4D,) the rest of the sequence in C4D before finally compositing with all the green screen footage, particles, grade and so on, in After FX. With underwater, it was a similar situation, but this time I pretty much did everything. It was locked off footage, so no camera tracking, and I got to animate the sub and the dolphins, as well as everything else.
