This super fun job follows Santa on Christmas Eve delivering presents and enjoying glasses of milk and mince pies while no one has left carrots for Santa's reindeer, Realising that something must be done, Santa makes a pit-stop at a McDonald’s and grabs a sack full of carrots for his hard-working team of flying reindeer, finally turning the reindeer’s frown upside down.
I was responsible for the reindeer's facial rig and expressions as well as texturing, look dev and lighting the 6 different reindeer.

Red Stag
Netflix, The Crown - Season 4, Episode 2 "The Balmoral Test" (Framestore)
VES nominated for 'Outstanding Animated Character in an Episode or Real-Time Project'
Our fully CG Red Stag is seen in 15 shots of the series’ second episode as it's being hunted in the Scottish Highlands. We did a significant amount of research and reference gathering in order to create and animate the majestic stag. His proportions are based off the worlds largest known stag, the Emperor of Exmoor.
I was asset lead on the project and was responsible for the sculpt, model, texture, lookdev, blendshapes and facial rig of the Stag asset as well as shot lighting.
I was also responsible for modelling the internal anatomy of the Stag for muscle simulations.
Below is our final turntable of the asset.
Some screen grabs of the final asset sculpt.
