TV: Storyboards: 'Gettysburg'
For 'Gettysburg', I produced some (very) quick visuals for CGI sequences, highlighting marches, maps, and weaponry.About the Show
'Executive produced by Ridley and Tony Scott, GETTYSBURG strips away the romanticized veneer of the Civil War to present the pivotal Battle of Gettysburg in a new light--a visceral, terrifying and deeply personal experience, fought by men who put everything on the line in defense of their vision of the American future. Cinematic in scope, GETTYSBURG is an information-packed look at the turning points, strategic decisions, technology and little-known facts surrounding the battle. Developed in collaboration with highly esteemed Civil War historians, GETTYSBURG reflects hundreds of individual accounts of the battle--the unique voices of struggle, defeat and triumph that tell the larger story of a bitterly conflicted nation.'
*'Gettysburg' won 2 Emmy Awards in 2011, including Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Miniseries, Movie or a Special

2006
Director: Martina Nagel
When Robert marries the beautiful Alice they are the 'perfect couple'. But the moment he learns his wife is pregnant, dark secrets from the past fly unbidden into the present and threaten to destroy their future.
Working closely with director Martina, we developed the psychological environments that reflect the descent from happy family life to a darker, more dangerous nightmare.
The images were hand-painted with watercolour and ink, acrylic, or pencil/chalk. We also developed initial concept art to define the romantic/impressionistic mood of the film.
Short Film: Suspension
In 2006, my solo animation project for the Glasgow School of Art 'Suspension' premiered at Darklight Film Festival in Ireland.
Blending my traditional hand painting methods with 3D, a painting unravels onscreen.
The curtain rises, clouds pass, a tower flies into the night. Swirling through a nighttime landscape, the film follows a shadowy female form on a windswept quest chasing a star.

WINNER
Chicago Joseph Jefferson award for Best Set Design, 2003
Trapped in a claustrophobic underground bunker, the whole production team aimed to make the experience feel as real as possible, bringing the audience into the WWI bunker to witness the tension intimately.
Real dirt, twig-woven trench walls and found felled trees dragged into the theatre gave the set realistic texture and earthy smell. I wanted realism, but also psychological weight to the space.
