Our student film "Escape From the Hamster Wheel"

This was a group project at Billy Blue College of Design for "Digital Video Composition and Storytelling" class with Damian Blayney. 

Team members include:
+ Nitesh Asrani
+ Francois Hebert
+ Lina Hallberg
+ Alex Ball
+ Tatyana Temirbulatova
+ Danilo Toledo



We were given stock footage of the Billy Blue graduate exhibition, and the assignment was to produce a movie of 2 mins incorporating this footage.

The work involved writing the script, creating storyboards and shot lists, shooting our footage (of course!), cutting and editing. We also included a pre-movie animation, done by Alexander Ball, which introduced viewers to the story.

Calliope Animatic

This was a group project to digitally illustrate one of Neil Gaiman's Sandman stories. Our team was called "The People" and it consisted of Francois Hebert, Phil Sheather and Steve Milne...well and myself of course :)

The process for making this animatic was first to brainstorm on the style that we wanted to convey. We decided on Film Noir style, as we felt it reflected the mood of the story and we also found it visually inspiring. This was followed by storyboarding, image sourcing and production hours. The last bit was to add music, which Steve handled beautifully. Production was done using AfterEffects.
