3D Modelling and Animation

My favourite way to bring ideas to life! If you need to showcase your product, pitch your ideas to investors, or you simply want to make your videos stand out, 3D animation is the way to go! This is also a great resource to illustrate educational content with videos sequences that would be impossible or hard to be shot in real life.

This is an example of a model of a guitar part (a 3-way switch toggle) that I modelled and animated to use on my upcoming video series about guitar wiring. This piece is small, reflective and doesn’t stand by itself, which makes it quite hard to capture with a camera.

On my video I will mix real footage with 3D animation to better explain how this piece works and how to properly install it on a guitar.

Before vs after comparison

audio matters the most

When it is time to deliver your message through video content, audio quality is what matters the most. If the audio quality of your videos doesn’t meet the right standards, your audience will feel very discouraged from watching your content, or they may even not understand you at all.

There are many reasons why the quality of the audio recorded during a footage shooting session may be compromised, such as lack of proper equipment or training, excessive background noise, and so on. In any case, I can help you to increase the quality of your recorded audio thanks to our professional grade digital audio workstations, best in class plugins, and years of experience in audio and video production. Watch the following video and hear the difference in audio quality at every step of our audio production process.

Before vs after comparison

I love to help other artists to get the best from their original ideas. Here is a good example of how a helped the artist and songwriter to improve the production of his song. I also performed the electric guitar, the bass and the drums.

The collaborative process

It is great to see the songwriter’s ideas becoming a finished song. My favourite part in this process is creating harmonies and grooves to support the songs message and give it the right vibe. With different arrangements, the same song can drive the listeners through a very different emotional journey. This is an example of three different creative directions that I showed to the songwriter in the beginning of the production process. I performed all of the instruments based on the same melody provided by the singer / songwriter.

Custom soundtracks that really synch

I am always looking for creative challenges. Creating custom soundtracks for video productions is one of the most exciting things I do at work. The right soundtrack, perfectly synchronized with the scenes, creates an unique engaging experience with your audience. The video that I created for the Joe Louis Bourbon 2020 holiday campaign, is a great example of it. I created the video, composed the song, performed all of the instruments.

A smart branding project plays a strategic role for any business. It goes far beyond aesthetical choices and colour standards. It is about storytelling. What are your brand standards (or the lack of) saying about your organization?

I am so proud of being responsible for the branding project that brought the “Champion” back to the USA market.

“Champion of Them All” is a straight bourbon first released in 1952 by the world heavyweight boxing champion Joe Louis. For us, this was way beyond the comeback of an American spirit. It was about the comeback of the legacy of an American hero.

Joe Louis was one of modern history’s most celebrated boxing champions. He held the title for 12 years, the longest-reigning world heavyweight champion ever. He stopped his career at his peak to enlist in the U.S. Army to fight World War II. While serving, he performed almost 100 boxing exhibitions for over two million military members to elevate the troops’ morale. He also donated about $100,000 to Army and Navy relief societies.

“Champion of them all” was relaunched in 2020 to inspire a new generation of champions, and it supports athletes through sponsorship partnership with USA Boxing and the Golden Gloves.
