PROJECTIONS - INVEREWE ILLUMINATED
UNDERWATER JOURNEY - INVEREWE GARDENS
An overview of the motion graphics projections I created for the National Trust of Scotland's "Inverewe Illuminated" 2019. More information can be found here: https://www.nts.org.uk/stories/inverewe-illuminated
The theme was a journey underwater in the Scottish sea. I took inspiration from the local plant and animal life found in the Scottish seas and aimed to create a sense of whimsy and wonder with the projections.
Unfortunately I only had my phone to hand to record and photograph my work, so the quality does not capture the true look of the projections.

MOTION GRAPHICS - SWIPII LABS
RETAINING CUSTOMERS - SWIPII LABS. (UNFINISHED)
Unfinished project for Swipii Labs. The planning and execution of this video was handed to me, with ideas etc. being changed and improved once I had been given the final voice over. All images were created in Illustrator. Editing/timing/images still needed updating and unfortunately a final music file was never chosen so I added a generic file so the video wasn't silent.
Check out some of the assets here.
