Infographic News Blips_The Other News
Every episode of ABC program HungryBeast featured a segment called "The Other News". My graphics team would bring to life 3 bits of obscure news in each episode as bright, technicolor motion graphics bursts.
This a selection of some of my favourite that I worked on during seasons 1 & 2.
Infographic_Child Mortality verse Arms Sales Revenue Worldwide
ABC Australia program HungryBeast asked me to develop a format for a short segment that could turn maps and other infographic charts into animated interstitials.
This was the prototype we made for DataPlus.
It combines maps with datasets for:
-Child Mortality worldwide
-Arms Sales Revenue_Top 20 Nations
-Nuclear Weapons Stockpiles, estimated warheads by nation.
AudioVisuals_Music Breakers for ABC Television
One thing I love doing is turning music into visuals. This is a selection of breakers we made for TV series HungryBeast to give the audience a little rest between segments.

Robot Wars_15min Documentary
Robot Wars was originally aired across 3 weeks on HungryBeast. The series of segments looks at the current (as of Sept. 2009) state of remote warfare technology and the ethical implications of its use.
The story features Leading analyst Peter W. Singer, from the Brookings Institute in Washington.
I wrote, cut and produced the story with lots of support from Sarah Douglas, Andrew Denton and the rest of the HungryBeast crew.
TV Spot_Smirnoff
I directed this TV commercial for Smirnoff to promote a series of events they were holding in Australia. It ran with supporting web content and direct marketing handled by MTV Networks Australia. Big props to VFX wizard Matthew Mackareth who collaborated on the piece.
MTV SNOW JAM 2008
I produced and designed the promo series and graphics for MTV's 2008 Snow Jam concert. Matt Mackareth lent his skills to the VFX and Studio Ripple composed the excellent hip hop score.
MTV Networks promo
While working at MTV Networks Australia, I produced this promo for a clip show of chill-out tracks on their youth network TMF.
3D artist Matt Mackereth helped me plunder classic chill-out imagery like the Eames chair and B&o stereo.
The music mix was put together by the very talented Emma Fox.
STARCROSS'D Short Film Trailer
