Silibil N' Brains "Eat Your Brains" MUSIC VIDEO

Here is the latest video that I directed with John Fairfield for Flyboy Creative. I also did all the post production on the video including putting in some nasty sound effects. VFX breakdowns are to follow but if you want to check out some behind the scenes stuff you can go to the Flyboy Facebook page.

VFX Breakdown for Pigeon Song Animation

Here is a VFX breakdown for a live action / animated shot that I produced for a recent music video.  I did the compositing and the landscape sketches, Nuria Valdeon did the cell animation and Fraser Murdoch did the 3D modeling.

Anderson, McGinty, Webster, Ward & Fisher 'Pigeon Song' Music Video

Here is the music video that I directed with John Fairfield for the band Anderson, McGinty, Webster, Ward & Fisher.  The video was shot by Ian Forbes on the AF-101 in Dundee and St Andrews.  It was cut in Premiere CS6 and most of the VFX and grading were done in After Effects.  A break down of the animation sequence is to follow next week.

Showreel

This showreel features work that I directed, edited, graded and composited as well as post production that I have done for other directors. All my directorial work was shot by Ian Forbes and produced by John Fairfield for Flyboy Films.  The music used was Lewis den Hertog's score for my short Falling Out and the track "Ain't That Peculiar" (Oddisee Remix).

DELTA HEAVY - 'Get By' (official video)

DELTA HEAVY - 'Get By' (official video) from Ian Robertson on Vimeo.

I recently did the visual effects and finishing for hyper talented director/animator Ian Robertson's new music video.

Ian shot high resolution jpeg stills on DSLR using Dragonframe stop motion animation software and created the edit in Final Cut with proxy video before conforming to the original image sequences.  I then imported a Final Cut XML of the project into Premiere Pro CS5.5 and nested each shot for colour grading.  For the pan and scan and visual effects I used the dynamic link to send shots to After Effects.  Most of the animation was done in twos (doubling frames in a 24fps sequence to give the appearance of 12fps) so hold key frames were used at two frame intervals so as not to introduce smoother motion than was native to the animation.  Needless to say, motion blur was SWITCHED OFF!

ADO - The Ultra - OFFICIAL VIDEO

I recently AD'd and colour graded the music video The Ultra by Ado for co-directors Ian Forbes and Rose Hendry. It was a great experience and the first time I'd worked 'on set' rather than on location.  Big thanks to Tin Roof Arts Collective for letting us use the space as well!!
