The new Photon tracing Kernel in Octane is very nice. Still takes a very long time to render an image like this if you include Scattering Mediums (fog) like this too. I do love the realistic treatment of light in Octane though

It feels like enough time has passed to reveal another high profile project we worked on this year. That is - the titles for BBC Studios and Events coverage of the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

As you can imagine, this was handled with the highest levels of discretion and respect and it was a honour to be involved in this project.
The titles were designed by Paula Williams at Wonder Creative. And they were built and animated by Dan Sollis at Digital Distortion.
Additional credits are on the Vimeo Page.

I recently completed the VFX work on this piece for COP27. A really cool project, working with some great people. And also my first proper experience working with Virtual Production (using a Volume).
Big thanks to Kamal and the guys at Samurai Productions, Alvaro Stocker - director extraordinaire, and all the guys at Lipsync who handled the conform and grade. And probably loads more I've forgotten!
Anyway - enjoy (and full credits on the Vimeo page)

Just got on the beta for DALL-E 2. It's an absolutely incredible, industry-changing piece of tech. I used it to create some cool imagery in the DD style (enhanced with a bit of post-processing in Photoshop and After Effects)

Some fun experimentation with Irrealix's LoopFlow plugin in After Effects. Combining the cover of my favourite Floyd album with the ambient sounds of Conelrad (since I figured using any actual Floyd audio might be a risk!)
This is the plugin I used to create the looping flow: https://aescripts.com/loopflow/
And the music is "Charger Paris Mirage" by
