Samson Hall 3D Animation Portfolio

“Covid Chaos”. Here I tracked the footage and created a 3d particle animation for the covid chaos.

“Sign of the times'“. 2021 will be better! I created the digital eyes graffiti and tracked them onto the shutter, along with ink like bleeding so they would cry.

"Time Stretch" A project completed by myself. I shot the film, recorded light information, matchmoved the footage, modelled, rigged, textured, animated, rendered and composited the piece. 

Chocolate Milk Drink "Choco Moo" advertisement. A collaborative project created at JTX Animation. My responsibilities included Animation, Phoenix FD Fluid Dynamics, Modelling, Shading, Rigging, Effects, Lighting, Rendering and Compositing.

"Monster Card Animation" A project completed by myself. I shot the film, matchmoved the footage, modelled, rigged, shaded, rendered and composited the piece. 

"3D Female Anatomy Study" A project completed by myself. Tasks included Modelling, ZBrush Sculpting, Blendshapes, Rigging, Hair Dynamics, Texturing, Lighting, Animation and Rendering.

Fun Character Emotion Testing. This is a piece I worked on as a quick emotion test at JTX Animation. I created all the animation for this character blend shape test. I really focused on pose-to-pose and getting as much expression as possible from the facial rig. 

"3D Modelling Various Works" This is a quick reel demonstrating my 3d modelling capabilities. Included are a  diverse selection of 3d models I have created. 

"Camera Tracking Reel" Various matchmoving works I have created. A hard and invisible art-form, unfortunately if done well, goes completely unnoticed!

"Farm Animation". A collaborative project created at JTX Animation. I worked on all the animation for the piece, rigging, parameter wiring, particles, grass and daisies, effects and compositing. I also worked on audio design.

Oxford University Press Logo Sequence. Created at JTX Animation. This was a quick logo sequence I created all the effects for.

Abstract Fractal Particles Animation. A short burst I created messing around with graffiti style particles. 

Oxford University Press "Collector Animation". Created at JTX Animation. My responsibilities were Animation and Lip Synch, Character Blendshapes, Lighting, Effects, Composition, Compositing and Rendering. 

An abstract spiral particle "whoosh" animation created by myself. 

Another quick abstract animation testing out warping, toon shading and ribbon-like behaviour.
