An environmental NGO called me 5 days before their Grand Launch.
Ministers. Big developers. Anyone with a stake in Bangalore's development had RSVP'd. The client needed a video that would sweep the room off its feet. Not a basic montage of stock clips stitched together in an afternoon. They wanted a fully custom 3D video.
Most designers can't deliver on a deadline like that with expectations that high. Lucky for them, they knew the one guy who could (me 🙋♂️).
We moved fast. Script day one. Storyboard day two. The second I knew what they wanted, I was in Blender building the thing frame by frame.
It came down to the wire. The event had already started and I was still rendering. 15 minutes before the keynote speaker walked on stage, I finished the final touches and sent it over. The room had no idea how close it came.
That's the job sometimes. If you've got a launch coming up and need someone who won't blink at a tight deadline — that's me.
