My latest work is working on NEXUS Bendigo Youth Theatre's Oklahoma! Advertising campaign where I have made and designed every single component including posters, business cards, video trailers (that aired in Bendigo Cinemas), biweekly Behind-the-scenes video content and a flashmob video in the Marketplace and Strath Village.

In April 2015, I had the pleasure of redesigning and making a new website for Empowering Eaglehawk. It also has a responsive design so it looks good on any device (Computer/Tablet/Phone).

This also allowed for an online grant application form so that applicants could easily apply online.

Bendigo Baptist Church runs a news video clip every Sunday. 

I made the new intro (started from a template), Baptisms promo, Website Ad & iTunes Ad (photos below).

In January 2015, the website was redesigned for the 2015 NEXUS season.

In 2014, I had the amazing opportunity to be a trainee at Lightmare Studios.

This is just some of the cool stuff I made.

I had an amazing opportunity to do the 'Interactive Design Program'  in January - June 2014.

I learnt a variety of different things:

Concepts – plan your creations, sketch your designs

2D animation – Create frame by frame sprite animations

3D design - Invent, model, texture and render objects, props and your own humanoid character using Blender 3D software. Set up lights and cameras and create snapshots of your work.

3D Animation - Learn principles of animation and establish rendered animation cycles of your character in movement.

Industry skills - Learn OHS practices, social media and computer skills and practice professional etiquette.

These are some of the things I made.

I made this video for a school project. I tried to do something a bit different by creating a parallax or 2.5D effect. This involved breaking every single still image down into multiple layers to put on different z axis with a moving camera to create the illusion.

In 2012, NEXUS BYT had a production of 'The Wizard of Oz'. One of the major questions was how they would do Oz. After some discussion and pitching I put together a solution, along with Joe Boyle, the live audio/visual producer (http://jbav.com.au/) 

The Solution:

1. Make two animated videos (Oz was in two different scenes) that was timed correctly with the dialogue on stage.

2. Display the video on a screen using rear-projection at the correct time of the scenes.

NEXUS is a journey. Each year, I put together a Behind the Scenes Documentary to show how far the show has come and the journey the NEXUS Bendigo Youth Theatre have been taken on. In 2013, I filmed over the whole 5 months of NEXUS from Auditions all the way after the last show. I ended up with over 12 hours of video and had over 70GB worth of footage to use to make the Behind the Scenes Documentary. Overall it's 5 months of work in under 30 minutes!
