42 second opener
Title design
BBC Factual Title Package
A restrained opener for a regional factual strand, built around map textures, archive stills and a type system that could survive late episode title changes.
Delivered
- 42 second opener.
- Lower thirds, end cards and next-time cards.
- 16:9 broadcast master and clean textless version.
Technical Notes
Archive stills arrived at mixed resolutions, so the design used deliberate scan movement rather than fake camera depth. Safe area guides were locked before the first motion test.

CAD clean-up
Aerospace Component Product Animation
A precise product film for a manufacturer that needed exploded assembly, surface material passes and part callouts without turning the component into science fiction.
Delivered
- UHD ProRes 422 HQ master.
- Square and 16:9 web cutdowns.
- Separate clean plate for later language overlays.
Technical Notes
Supplied CAD needed naming cleanup, hidden fasteners removed and material groups rebuilt. Approval centred on engineering accuracy before lighting polish.

6 minute silent loop
Museum projection
Museum Projection Loop
A silent wall piece for a gallery room, designed to loop without a visible reset and to hold up on a projector that was kinder to midtones than blacks.
Delivered
- ProRes master for archive.
- HAP export for playback system.
- Installation test file with calibration bars.
Technical Notes
The loop point was hidden in a slow pan rather than a fade. Contrast was tested in the room, because the wall surface was doing half the colour grade.

73 shots
Compositing
Independent Feature Clean-Up
A practical clean-up package across a finished edit, including screen inserts, paint fixes, small sky replacements and removals no one had budgeted for during the shoot.
Delivered
- 73 final shots conformed to edit references.
- Handles retained for grade.
- Shot notes returned with every review pass.
Technical Notes
Most time went into edge behaviour and reflections around phone screens. The schedule held because the post supervisor sent locked frame ranges and sensible handles.

Agency film
Medical Device Explainer Inserts
Short product inserts for an agency edit, matching existing camera plates and adding clean callouts that could be re-versioned after regulatory copy changes.
Delivered
- Alpha callout overlays.
- Device material passes.
- Copy-safe layout system for approvals.
Technical Notes
Copy changes were expected, so the animation used stable anchor points and reserved text space. No late redesign was needed when legal changed three labels.

Visualisation
University Research Visualisation
A short moving image piece for a university research team, turning microscope reference, still diagrams and a fixed narration into a clear sequence for conference playback.
Delivered
- 35 second ProRes 4444 master.
- Textless export for translated captions.
- Slide-safe H.264 version for lecture theatre playback.
Technical Notes
The brief depended on scientific approval, so motion tests carried numbered callouts and source still references. The final pass kept contrast high enough for projectors without inventing false detail.

Earlier Work And Tape Masters
Earlier Flame, After Effects and broadcast compositing work is available on request. Some masters sit on tape or in client-controlled storage, so public clips are not always the honest record.
