Queen Campaign Poster

Studio Set Design

Lack of available studio space meant creative thinking with this modular "Flex" set. Interchangable wall pannels and a Post & Beam construction method meant for a 24' x 36' area being redressed into 4 different standing sets. The one shown here is of a small, well appointed bachelor pad.

Animated Playback Screen

A Vampiric Countdown timer designed for Sanctuary, Season 3. In this episode lead characters stumble across an ancient underground vampire tomb. As it is told in the story, vampires had advanced technology well-beyond their time, but were killed off some 2000 years ago. This is a countdown timer set to detonate a bomb in a protected tomb, should anyone dare to enter.

ART DIRECTION & SET DESIGN

Art Direction and Assistant Art Direction are my primary areas of interest in the Art Department. It is in this position that my skillset is most utilized and I am my happiest. This is a difficult position to demonstrate by way of imagery, but I have created a small section dedicated to Art Direction in my Portfolio.

COMPUTER PLAYBACK

In 2008 I started to dable in Computer Playback Design (Motion Graphics), and by 2009 it was the primary Artist/Animator on a the TV show Sanctuary - Season 3.

GRAPHICS

My film career started in 2004 in a Graphics position and I continued down this path for quite some time. I am happy to take a position in the Art Department as Graphic Designer as supplementary, part-time work or as Assistant Art Director full-time.
