Prototyping with real-world scenarios, even fictional ones, is one of the best ways to sharpen skills, so here's a "client-style" exercise: a website hero animation.
Keeping motion clean in hero sections is trickier than it looks. Every bit of movement needs to earn its place, or it just competes for attention instead of drawing people in.
This is a mockup solar flower hero, built and rendered in Blender using Eevee for fast real-time iteration. The animation itself is intentionally simple and the real focus here was on the rigging setup driving it.

Guitar knobs turning, jittered depth of field, rendered in Eevee with raytracing on. Trying to see how close I can get to that Cycles-style DOF without the Cycles wait times.
This test landed way closer than expected; good sign for faster turnarounds on close-up shots like this.

It was such a privilege to bring these super fun colorful illustrations to life. Inspired by the Summer of Love-style psychedelia and the cool animation styles of that era, I had an absolute blast diving into every tiny detail to make them burst with personality.
Using the beat as an anchor to time each movement was really importnt. Then, taking each item and offsetting an path or a section really brings it to life.
I used C4D's sketch and toon feature to create this swirling effect. It was such a cool addition!

It was a pleasure to collaborate with the team at D8 to animate these stunning illustrations for Richard Osman's new book, "We Solve Murders."
These animated illustrations were showcased on television and social media in the lead-up to the book's release. I particularly enjoyed animating Trouble the cat and the title reveal. We then created work for the paperback edition and a special, festive holiday social video with Trouble the cat in a santa hat.
The title lockup took inspiration from murder scene outlines and which then fill in with a liquid looking effect.
