beads render output.

beads render output.

on the tree that is the main focus there are lots of small beads, which i modelled and textured to resemble the millions of beads that adorn the amazing costumes from the musical.


for the transition animation that you see above they had to be animated with a 3D camera on a flat plane (below) that would then line up on the massive 12,000 x 6,000 screens.

bird render test.

the majority of the ginormous motion piece was in 2D, but small elements like the birds flying above for the whole animation, plus the hero birds that flew around the scenes were made by me in 3D.


i made a CG model of the birds that are used in the actual West End play using behind the scenes archival images.
