Mazed Project - This was a product of a group project, Mazed. By the company 'Mazed Tales' we were assigned traditional tales from around Cornwall. This Video depicts the story of 'Elowen and the Bramlebush'. I took the role of Art director and co-animator on this project and created the backgrounds, helped with character designs and contributed to the animation.

This is two different renders of the same model. The first is an unlit, untextured version without a sky while the second is a fully textured, lit version with the sky.


As part of a backgrounds project we created a 3D environment in Maya. I chose to do a model of a church in Norway I photographed from several angles. The top picture is a digital matt painting of a still render the the bottom two are still renders from two different angles.
